I recently purchased a pair of the Korkers Snowjack. I was really in need of a good dependable pair of Winter boots as my Solomon trail shoes weren’t cutting it in these sub-zero Alaskan temps. What I really like about Korkers is the whole concept of buying one pair of boots and swapping out the soles as terrain and weather fluctuate. They cover all the bases with each category of shoe/sole. I’ve been a long time Korkers fan, and it only seemed right to buy a pair of Winter day-to-day boots as well.

The Korkers Snowjack are built tough, king king aint got nothing on them. They are constructed with 400 grams of Thinsulate insulation to surely keep your feet warm, in whatever condition mother nature may throw your way. Cabin fever in Alaska blows, these long harsh Winters prevent us from doing just about any fishing. This past weekend we set out on an adventure into the ice fishing world to see what all this hype was about. The weather was a balmy -30 degrees below zero, so cold you grow frozen waterfalls from your nose. I made it quite a while without any problem, but in that cold you really need some high quality protection. Through the time we were perched on the lake I can honestly say, my feet were one of the only parts of my body that did not hurt. The Snowjacks are completely waterproof as well as breathable, which make for a great pair of boots. The neatest feature that is the signature touch of Korkers is their OmniTrax 3.0 interchangeable sole system. With the Snowjacks come two different soles, the SnowTrac Winter Rubber Lug, and IceTrac Studded Rubber Lug with 32 carbide studs per sole, which in reality should cover all your Winter needs. It was funny this past weekend as we were walking to where we would fish that day a buddy of mine kept loosing his footing and slipping to the ground. I suggested a pair of Korkers as I assisted him in getting up.
