Chota Abrams with the non synthetic felt sole....if you can still find them.
Best gripping boot I've ever had...and I have tried many many different manufacturers.
The boots wore out...soles still good after 6 years of 35-40 days and many km on the creeks each year....so...over 200 days on the streams!

Replaced them last season with high end Simms with synthetic felt sole because I couldn't source the Chotas. The Simms are OK....but are expensive, heavy and the felt sole just doesn't grip nearly as good. Will probably screw in some cleats this next season.
Probably wouldn't go back to the Simms again.

The plus on the Korkers is the interchangeable sole...but...don't expect any durability of that system if you spend a lot of km walking the creeks.

Of course if you plan on fishing in the Parks, then felts will be a NO GO.
