Korkers Darkhorse Wading Boot Review
Reality is, buying wading boots is pretty low on the thrill factor in the acquisition of fly fishing paraphernalia. I've never seen an angler run into our fly shop just to touch and feel the new boots. Fly rods, fly reels, yes!...Boots, not so much.
Many years of wading experience has taught me this, improper fitting wading boots will make your feet and your fishing suffer! Are poor fitting, poor traction, poor functioning boots causing your fishing to suffer? Maybe we should get more excited about wading boots. If your feet stay warm longer, feel comfortable and supported, provide confidence in safety and wading ability then one can assume that a great pair of wading boots really should be capable of improving our fish-ability.
Korkers Darkhorse has improved my fishing
The New Darkhorse Wading Boot comes to us equipped with all the best Korkers time proven features while built with an emphasis on durability without compromising lightweight, comfortable function. Once this platform had been established Korkers fitted in, without compromise, an additional technology providing Achilles Stabilization known as 3PFS. 3PFS stands for 3 Ply Fit System. The 3PFS system helps lock the foot in place for a more comfortable and secure fit.
In my testing I found the 3PFS system cradles without binding my ankles movements therefore giving me support I need for tough wading and freedom of movement for comfort and speedy trail hiking.
Korkers Darkhorse Features -
BOA M2
After 10 years of testing Korkers BOA Lacing system boots without a single failure I can say without hesitation I find the benefits of BOA an asset not only in the entry and removal of wading boots but also in the ability to maximize stream comfort with precision lacing pressure. Darkhorse utilizes the same proven BOA M2 that all current Korkers BOA equipped boots use and function has been flawless.
Durability
 |
| Protected Triple Stitching |
OmniTrax 3.0 Sole System
You got to appreciate the versatility of this system. Choose your traction! OmniTrax offers options like AlumaTrax when your safety is the only option, felt to keep your guide happy in his drift boat and Kling-On Tread for long hikes. Whatever your need, there is an option for great traction. |
| AlumaTrax Soles |
Fast Drying
Darkhorse utilizes Hydrophobic upper material with ultra abrasion resistance and tonal camo patternInternal Drainage
This is one of my personal favorite Korkers features found on all their boots. The internal drainage ports direct water down and out the bottom of the boots allowing for a complete drain when exiting water. No sloshing down the trail. You can actually feel the water drain away the moment you step out of the stream.In my testing I've noticed these boots do dry fast. I believe that has to be contributed to the fast drying materials and the internal out the bottom drainage. It's a great feature when your travel requires you to pack them in the luggage the morning after a great fishing trip.
Boot Conclusion
I wasn't born a great angler. I have to fight for it. I'm all about seeking every possible asset that can potentially improve my fishing game. I feel like Korkers and I have a lot in common. For instance Korkers wasn't born into greatness, they had to fight for it. Korkers continues to reach for every possible asset to improve upon which over many years has resulted in an innovative competitive line of products. The philosophy of Korkers mirrors my own in that perfection is a long never ending road of constant strive toward research, discovery and improvement. That long road to success is clearly evident in this latest innovated Darkhorse wading boot from Korkers.I have on hand a pretty nice collection of wading boots to chose from but after clocking many hours over several days in the New Darkhorse, these are the boots I find myself automatically reaching for. Function and comfort level have exceeded my expectations. My wading confidence has greatly increased. The adaptable traction system is solid and provides options to optimize performance for any stream bottom, terrain and/or seasonal weather conditions. I absolutely believe Korkers Darkhorse wading boots have played a part in improving my fishing!
Our fishing industry has overwhelmed us with more then enough wading boot choices but if I were to bet on a dark horse, I'm placing my bet on the New Korkers Darkhorse!

Korkers Women's Wading Boots - BUCKSKIN MARY - New for 2017
Women anglers have long-appreciated Korkers innovative and versatile approach to wading footwear. While many women actively wear and trust Korkers boots, for others finding the right size sometimes required a compromise. Well, compromise no more - Korkers new BuckSkin Mary™ women’s wading boot is here. Now women now have a versatile, performance-packed boot that is specifically designed and styled to fit a woman’s needs.
 |
| Shown with Kling-On Rubber and Studded Kling-On Rubber Soles |
“Women have been loyal supporters of Korkers over the years, but unfortunately due to a limited size range we have not always been able to accommodate the needs of all women anglers. By expanding our sizes and engineering this boot around a woman’s foot, we have created the ultimate option for women at an affordable price,” said Korkers Director of Development Drew Linth.
The BuckSkin Mary™ will be offered in sizes 5-11 and comes standard in two different package options: Black Felt and Kling-On ($139.99 MSRP) and Kling-On and Studded Kling-On ($159.99).

Simms Vapor Wading Boot Review
The first time I put my hands on this wading boot I knew it was different than anything I've seen before from Simms. Sure it has the Simms' name on it, the familiar Simms Orange trimmings and the jumping trout logo but the boot was something way different. As soon as I handled it I understood the name Vapor.
 |
| Simms Vapor Boots and Bass Bugs |
While Simms has manufactured some of the best boots in the industry they are not known for being light. The Vapor is now the exception. As I looked them over closely visions came of rambling down shoreline trails and skipping boulders to reach that special bucket in my favorite run. Lightening the load is liberating. It's like the feeling you get when you drop your overstuffed daypack on the shoreline after a three mile hike. Ahhh! Now it's time to play.
