When you are covering water all day or hiking in to reach less-pressured runs, these boots cut down leg fatigue without giving up the support and durability you need for rough freshwater and saltwater terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOmniTrax interchangeable sole system:\u003c\/strong\u003e Swap soles to match the day’s conditions, from slick freestones to mixed trail and river approaches, so you are not locked into one traction option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed lace closure with non-corrosive hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Locks the fit down fast and stays smooth to use after long days around grit, sand, and salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHydrophobic upper materials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Absorb less water for faster dry times, which helps reduce carry weight and helps lower the chance of moving invasive species between waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal drainage system with midsole ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moves water through internal channels and out of the boot, so the boot feels lighter and less waterlogged as you wade and walk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEVA midsole cushioning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds shock absorption for long hikes, rocky banks, and hard-packed trails between spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal ankle wrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creates a more secure, supported feel when side-hilling, stepping between boulders, or bracing in current.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtected stitching at the heel counter and toe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps the boot handle abrasion and repeated impact where wading boots take the most abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the Bantam Lite when your day includes walking and wading, like trail-to-river approaches, long gravel-bar moves, and working up a canyon where every step counts. The hiking-inspired build and EVA cushioning stay comfortable on dry ground, then the drainage system sheds water once you step in, so the boot does not stay heavy after each crossing. In rocky rivers and pocket water, the supportive ankle wrap helps keep your footing when you are stepping onto angled rock faces or shifting weight to land a fish in current. If you split time between freshwater and saltwater, the materials and non-corrosive hardware are built to handle both environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \/ Sizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bantam Lite is designed to feel secure and supportive, with an internal ankle wrap that tightens the fit when you lace up. It is offered in whole sizes from 5 to 15 and is built to pair with wader booties, so most anglers can start with their normal wading-boot size. If you are between sizes or run a thicker neoprene bootie for cold water, sizing up can give you more toe room and better circulation. The pair weighs about 2 lb 8 oz, which helps reduce fatigue on long walk-ins and full-day wades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSole type:\u003c\/strong\u003e OmniTrax interchangeable sole system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure system:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speed laces with non-corrosive hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 2 lb 8 oz per pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hydrophobic construction for faster dry times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal channels with midsole ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMidsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e EVA cushioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupport:\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal ankle wrap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurability details:\u003c\/strong\u003e Protected stitching at heel counter and toe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hike-in wading, trail-to-river days, anglers who want a lighter boot without giving up support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Korkers","offers":[{"title":"5 \/ Felt + Kling-On","offer_id":48477900112105,"sku":"SKU096351109158","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 \/ Kling-On + Studded Kling-On","offer_id":48477900472553,"sku":"SKU096351109264","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 \/ Felt + Kling-On","offer_id":48477900144873,"sku":"SKU096351109165","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 \/ Kling-On + Studded Kling-On","offer_id":48477900505321,"sku":"SKU096351109271","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7 \/ Felt + Kling-On","offer_id":48477900177641,"sku":"SKU096351109172","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7 \/ Kling-On + Studded Kling-On","offer_id":48477900538089,"sku":"SKU096351109288","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 \/ Felt + Kling-On","offer_id":48477900210409,"sku":"SKU096351109189","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8 \/ Kling-On + Studded Kling-On","offer_id":48477900570857,"sku":"SKU096351109295","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9 \/ Felt + Kling-On","offer_id":48477900243177,"sku":"SKU096351109196","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9 \/ Kling-On + Studded Kling-On","offer_id":48477900603625,"sku":"SKU096351109301","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Felt + Kling-On","offer_id":48477899915497,"sku":"SKU096351109202","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Kling-On + Studded Kling-On","offer_id":48477900275945,"sku":"SKU096351109318","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Felt + Kling-On","offer_id":48477899948265,"sku":"SKU096351109219","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Kling-On + Studded Kling-On","offer_id":48477900308713,"sku":"SKU096351109325","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12 \/ Felt + Kling-On","offer_id":48477899981033,"sku":"SKU096351109226","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Kling-On + Studded Kling-On","offer_id":48477900341481,"sku":"SKU096351109332","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"13 \/ Felt + Kling-On","offer_id":48477900013801,"sku":"SKU096351109233","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Kling-On + Studded Kling-On","offer_id":48477900374249,"sku":"SKU096351109349","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Felt + Kling-On","offer_id":48477900046569,"sku":"SKU096351109240","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"14 \/ Kling-On + Studded Kling-On","offer_id":48477900407017,"sku":"SKU096351109356","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 \/ Felt + Kling-On","offer_id":48477900079337,"sku":"SKU096351109257","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"15 \/ Kling-On + Studded Kling-On","offer_id":48477900439785,"sku":"SKU096351109363","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/1846\/1673\/files\/korkers-footwear-korkers-bantam-lite-wading-boots-1199959867.webp?v=1761810977","url":"https:\/\/www.tridentflyfishing.com\/products\/korkers-bantam-lite-wading-boots","provider":"Trident Fly Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
