Korkers® Footwear, a brand synonymous with unique, problem-solving innovations, is following up on the highly successful launch of the River Ops
wading boot with the new River Ops BOA. Similar in styling to its predecessor, the new guide-caliber boot is equipped with the BOA M2 fit system making it easier than ever to customize the fit with a simple twist of the dial. This new design will allow you to get where others can’t because of its unmatched level of durability, stability, and comfort. The new River Ops will be available in stores beginning January 2022.
“The original inspiration for the River Ops was to create a guide-caliber boot with a level of durability, stability, and comfort never before seen in water-specific footwear.” says the Director of Product, Mark Reilly. “The River Ops BOA was the next step in the evolution of this product to answer the calls of guides and hard-core anglers who have become accustomed to the ease and performance the BOA lacing system offers.”
The exceptional durability of Korkers’ River Ops BOA boot is rooted in the Exo-Tec technology, 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. An enhanced TPU heel counter offers additional stability and protection while the unique internal Ankle Wrap provides excellent ankle support and comfort. Korkers Internal Drainage system quickly purges water and keeps every step feeling light and agile, while the BOA lacing system allows for a custom fit and an easy exit at the end of a long day on the water. Last, but certainly not least, each pair of River Ops BOA boots comes standard with two sets of interchangeable soles that include premium Vibram® wet & dry rubber traction. The new River Ops BOA boots feature an extended two-year warranty and Korkers’ proprietary OmniTrax® Interchangeable Sole System with nine different traction options – far more than any other in the industry.
MSRP: $299.99 (Vibram & Felt soles) & $319.99 (Vibram & Studded Vibram soles.)
