Korkers was born nearly 60 years ago on the treacherous banks of the Rogue River in Oregon. Our original “River Cleats” were created by Korkers’ founder, Sherman Smith, to solve a problem: staying upright. Over the years Korkers has continued to solve problems with true innovations like our OmniTrax® interchangeable sole system, BOA® lacing, internal drainage, protected stitching… we could go on and on. What does it mean for you? The most versatile, functional, and comfortable fishing footwear on the planet.
