Korkers History
The Korkers brand has been around for more than 60 years. They started by making fishing shoes and boots used by loggers in the logging industry. These original boots were made from used tires stapled to a normal shoe. It provided loggers with a boot to safely and confidently work timber.
Korkers quickly became popular in fly fishing circles because they offer some of the best wading boots in the market today. As many of us know, using standard boots in slippery rivers is a recipe for disaster. Since then, Korkers have made continuous advances in their boot design. Today, it is one of the leading wading boot manufacturers in the game.
