Tactical Backcountry Wading Boot

The River Ops™ Wading Boot is both tactical and comfortable. Feel emboldened to venture deep into the backcountry knowing that this guide-caliber boot provides new levels of durability, stability, and comfort never before seen in water-specific footwear. River Ops offer the most technical features in Korkers’ current wading boot line-up.

CEO Brian Chaney states that the design inspiration for the River Ops was largely the uncompromising nature of tactical Armed Forces gear. Guides and hard core anglers depend on their gear to do their job. Korkers combined comfortable boots with premium features to withstand numerous seasons of serious abuse. The River Ops™ boot merges durability and comfort, providing the premium support and tailored fit dedicated guides and anglers require.

Thanks to Exo-Tec™ technology, Korkers’ River Ops™ boot is made more durable with a molded exoskeleton of protective armor with zero exposed stitching. Not only does the Exo-Tec™ upper fend off abrasion from sharp rocks, its flexibility allows for a high range of motion and athletic movement. Enhanced EVA midsole offers underfoot comfort and increased stability & support while the unique internal Ankle Wrap™ provides excellent ankle support and comfort.

Korkers Internal Drainage system quickly purges water so that each step feels light and agile. The unique Lace Lock feature allows for a customized bi-zonal fit. And if that wasn't enough, each pair of River Ops™ boots comes standard with two sets of interchangeable soles that include premium Vibram® wet & dry rubber traction. The new River Ops™ boots feature an extended two-year warranty and Korkers’ proprietary OmniTrax® Interchangeable Sole System with nine different traction options, exceeding more than any other in the industry.
