{"product_id":"korkers-river-ops-wading-boots","title":"Korkers River Ops Wading Boots","description":"\u003cp\u003eKorkers River Ops Wading Boots are built for anglers who push past the easy access runs and need guide-level support that holds up season after season. The problem with many wading boots is simple, they feel great at first, then break down fast, get sloppy in the ankle, and feel heavy once they soak. River Ops solves that with a tough, armor-like upper, locked-in support, and fast drainage, plus interchangeable traction so you can match the river you are stepping into.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExo-Tec upper armor:\u003c\/strong\u003e A molded exoskeleton design with zero exposed stitching helps the boot stand up to sharp rock, gravel, and constant flex. It adds protection without making the boot feel stiff, so you can move with an athletic stride on uneven banks and boulder gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Ankle Wrap support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in ankle structure stabilizes your foot when you sidehill, pivot in current, or step down between slick rocks.

This is useful when you hike in, then snug up before stepping into heavier current.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOmniTrax interchangeable sole system:\u003c\/strong\u003e Swap traction options based on riverbed, season, and local regs.

Drainage helps keep the hike out from feeling like you are carrying extra water weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFreestones with greasy, bowling-ball rocks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair the OmniTrax system with the traction that fits your river, then use the ankle support and heel structure to stay stable while you edge across slick seams and awkward step-downs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrail-to-river transitions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dial the bi-zonal lacing for the walk in, then lock your ankle in tighter before you wade. The tough upper handles brush, talus, and sharp rock without relying on exposed stitching that can blow out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \/ Sizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRiver Ops is built for a secure, supported fit that stays planted when you are pushing into current and moving across uneven bottoms. Plan your size around your wader booties, most anglers wear these over neoprene booties and may need to size up compared to street shoes. The fast-draining design helps reduce that heavy, soaked-boot feel over a full day, which can help with leg fatigue on long walks and long stands in the river.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpper construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exo-Tec molded exoskeleton with zero exposed stitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnkle support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal Ankle Wrap support structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enhanced TPU heel counter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal Drainage system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure system:\u003c\/strong\u003e Laces with Lace Lock, bi-zonal adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSole system:\u003c\/strong\u003e OmniTrax interchangeable soles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded soles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two interchangeable sole sets, including premium Vibram wet and dry rubber traction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hike-in wading, guide use, rocky freestones, variable traction needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Korkers","offers":[{"title":"8 \/ Felt + Vibram","offer_id":48477908205801,"sku":"SKU096351101688","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 \/ Vibram + Studded Vibram","offer_id":48477908467945,"sku":"SKU096351101770","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Felt + Vibram","offer_id":48477908238569,"sku":"SKU096351101695","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Vibram + Studded Vibram","offer_id":48477908500713,"sku":"SKU096351101787","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Felt + Vibram","offer_id":48477908009193,"sku":"SKU096351101701","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Vibram + Studded Vibram","offer_id":48477908271337,"sku":"SKU096351101794","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Felt + Vibram","offer_id":48477908041961,"sku":"SKU096351101718","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Vibram + Studded Vibram","offer_id":48477908304105,"sku":"SKU096351101800","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12 \/ Felt + Vibram","offer_id":48477908074729,"sku":"SKU096351101725","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Vibram + Studded Vibram","offer_id":48477908336873,"sku":"SKU096351101817","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Felt + Vibram","offer_id":48477908107497,"sku":"SKU096351101732","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Vibram + Studded Vibram","offer_id":48477908369641,"sku":"SKU096351101824","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"14 \/ Felt + Vibram","offer_id":48477908140265,"sku":"SKU096351101749","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Vibram + Studded Vibram","offer_id":48477908402409,"sku":"SKU096351101831","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 \/ Felt + Vibram","offer_id":48477908173033,"sku":"SKU096351101756","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 \/ Vibram + Studded Vibram","offer_id":48477908435177,"sku":"SKU096351101848","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/1846\/1673\/files\/korkers-footwear-korkers-river-ops-wading-boots-1199959862.jpg?v=1761807980","url":"https:\/\/www.tridentflyfishing.com\/products\/korkers-river-ops-wading-boots","provider":"Trident Fly Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
