Product information "Korkers Bantam Lite Wading Boot with Felt and Rubber Sole"
The Korkers Bantam Lite Wading Boots are specially designed for demanding conditions in both fresh and saltwater environments, combining the lightweight feel of a hiking boot with the durability of a professional-grade wading boot.
Their functional design offers not only reliable stability on a wide variety of surfaces but also high wearing comfort during extended periods by the water.
A standout feature is the innovative OmniTrax® interchangeable sole system, allowing for quick and easy swapping of soles. This makes it easy to adapt the boots to different conditions – whether with a grippy felt sole for slippery surfaces or the versatile Kling-On® rubber sole for firmer ground on land or in a boat.
Thanks to hydrophobic materials, the boots dry quickly, improving comfort and helping to prevent the spread of invasive species. An integrated drainage system efficiently channels excess water out of the boot, reducing additional weight. The EVA midsole and padded ankle collar ensure a comfortable fit and effectively absorb shocks – ideal for longer trips or uneven terrain.
The construction of the Korkers Bantam Lite is built for durability. Reinforced stitching in high-wear areas like the heel and toe protects against abrasion, making the boot a reliable companion on many adventures. The sustainable sole exchange system also means that worn-out soles can be replaced without needing to discard the entire boot – a practical contribution to resource conservation.
For the best fit, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer's size chart, as different neoprene booties can affect the fit. The Bantam Lite wading boots from Korkers represent a thoughtful, flexible, and long-lasting solution for anyone who values quality and functionality while wading.
