How does the OmniTrax® Interchangeable Sole Technology work?: OmniTrax® Technology is a patented design of OmniTrax Incorporated. The system is made up of four unique locking points that securely fasten an interchangeable sole to the bottom of your Korkers shoe or boot. For more information on how the system works click here.

How does the Boa® Lace System work on your boots and ice cleats?: The Boa® Lacing System achieves a micro-adjustable, glove-like fit via three key components: a dial, spool, and lace. Turning the high-grip exterior dial activates the internal spool which then pulls the ultra-durable Boa® lace with remarkable closure force. The combination of the low-friction lace and lace guides creates a uniform closure that is free from pressure points and automatically conforms to the demands of your feet, activity, and terrain. Constructed from aircraft grade, stainless steel, the Boa® lace is gram-for-gram stronger than tank armor and easily sheds water, mud, ice, or any kind of river muck. Finally, the Boa® Lacing System is secure: once you set the dial to your desired tension, you're off and don't have to worry about the laces coming untied all day. Learn more about Boa.
How durable is the Boa® Lacing System?: Extensive testing - both in the Boa® lab and in the field by over 300 field testers - has validated the durability of the Boa® Lacing System in the most demanding of environments and in the most rigorous of activities. It is hardly a surprise that the Boa® Lacing System routinely outlives the footwear on which it is used. The Boa® lace itself is gram-for-gram stronger than tank armor and specifically designed to endure environments where grit and grime are the norm. Finally, the Boa® Dialed In for Life™ Guarantee further ensures the Boa® Lacing System laces and guides for the lifetime of the product. In the extremely rare event of a lace break, athletes simply tie three very tight knots (necessary due to the low friction of the laces); the lace will then hold until you return to the trailhead or car at the end of the day.
How can I identify which BOA Lace configuration I have on my Korkers product?: BOA® makes a variety of lacing systems for different applications and conditions. If you are looking to replace your BOA® Lacing System, it is extremely important that you are able to identify a compatible system with your current product. Below you will find a guide based on category/application:

Wading Boots
Korkers pioneered the BOA® Lacing system in the wading category in 2007. For four years, Korkers had a BOA® exclusive in the wading category as we helped test and develop water based reel systems with BOA®. Over the years, Korkers has used several different BOA® lacing systems:
• S1 BOA - 2007 -2010 (Guide Boot)
• M3 BOA - 2010-2013 (Chrome, Metalhead)
• M2 BOA - 2014 -2024 (Whitehorse, Darkhorse, Women’s Darkhorse, Devil’s Canyon, River Ops BOA®)
• M4 BOA - 2024 – Current (Chrome Lite with Sequence Lace Configuration)
• M4 BOA - 2025 – Current* (Darkhorse, Women’s Darkhorse, Devil’s Canyon, River Ops BOA®)
*As of late 2024, the M2 BOA system has been discontinued by BOA® for manufacturers and is being replaced with the M4 BOA® System. However, BOA® will support all current M2 products in the marketplace directly for the next 10 years. All M2 replacement kits or warranty parts must be obtained directly through BOA: BOA Replacement Parts Link

Winter Boots
Over the past 10 years, Korkers has used two different BOA® lacing systems:
• M3 BOA - 2014 - 2020 (IceJack Pro)
• M4 BOA – 2022 - Current (Snowmageddon, Women’s Snomageddon, Polar Vortex 600, Polar Vortex 1200, Icejack Pro)

Ice Cleats
Korkers pioneered Ice Cleats with the BOA® Lacing System in 2018. We have used one BOA® Lacing System on Ice Cleats:
• L6 BOA – 2018 – Current (Ice Walker, Ice Runner)
How do I clean and preserve my Korkers?: Each Korkers product uses different materials and can be cared for in different ways. However, all Korkers products can be cleaned using warm water and soap. Dry all products in a cool area, do not put them in the dryer. Avoid storing your products in hot places or places exposed to direct sunlight.
How do I get my Korkers gear repaired?: Many repair parts for Korkers gear can be purchased on-line. You can find repair parts online by selecting one of the following categories: FISHING | OUTDOOR | WORK. Most of these parts can be purchased at the same retail shop where you originally purchased your Korkers. If you believe the product falls within our warranty guidelines, please fill out the warranty claim here.
How do I replace the cleats on my Ice Commuter, Ice Walker, and Ice Runner Cleats?: Korkers Ice Commuter, Ice Walker, and Ice Runner cleat frames are made using a very durable TPU material. The TPU material should not only provide years of long-lasting use, but it also holds our ice-biting studs firmly in place. While this is generally a benefit, it does make replacing studs more difficult than our stretch fit ice cleats. Please review our video which details the removal and replacement of studs. Watch here.
What products are compatible with XTRA-BITE™ Carbide cleats and how do you install them?: XTRA-BITE™ Carbide Screw-in Cleats are made to work in conjunction with Korkers Stealth Sneaker & Chrome Lite Wading Boots. Cleats can be installed using a 6mm hex socket tool by hand or via power drill. Installation instructions are included in each kit and can be found below.
