With Interchangeable Soles, One Pair of Boots Can Survive All Conditions



Surviving the outdoors requires a fair amount of gear. For your footwear alone, you need boots for everyday hiking, for dealing with ice, for trudging along streams — to name a few.
Sporting a creative solution, shoe maker Korkers has created an interchangeable sole for its boots. The OmniTrax Sole System can be changed out for a variety of conditions, reports The Gear Caster:
The OmniTrax Interchangeable Sole System has further strengthened the Korkers product offering. Options include high-friction rubber for scrambling trails, rock hopping, and wading in wet conditions, compressed felt for traction underwater on slimy rocks, and either rubber or compressed felt with carbide spikes for extremely slippery conditions.
As of this posting, Korkers’ website is down due to bandwidth limitations, but The Gear Caster notes the range of winter boots retails for $140 too $200.
