Specifications & Fit Feature Details Height 8” (Standard Ankle Support) Weight 2 lbs. 8 oz. per pair (Ultra-Lightweight) Included Soles Kling-On Rubber & Studded Kling-On Sizing Men’s 5–15 (Whole Sizes Only) Shop Tip - Expert Fit Guide: Sizing Your Korkers Wading Boots For the perfect fit, we recommend that anglers size up one full size from their standard street shoe size when wearing wading boots with waders . This extra room is essential for accommodating the added volume of neoprene wading booties and heavy wool socks. Proper sizing ensures you don't restrict blood flow; maintaining healthy circulation is the best way to prevent cold feet and ensure all-day comfort while on the water. Standard Fit: Go up 1 size (e.g., if you wear a size 10 shoe, buy a size 11 boot). Half Sizes: Since Korkers are available in whole sizes only, half-size anglers should round up (e.g., a 10.5 street shoe should move to a size 12 wading boot).
