No one wants to spend their money on a uni-tasker. They want as much bang for their buck as they can get, so Korkers has expanded their line of convertible fly fishing boots for use in snow and ice as well.
Using the company's OmniTrax 3.0 Interchangeable Sole system, the new SnowJack, IceJack and StormJack boots can be customized for different conditions requiring different types of traction. Each pair of boots includes a rubber sole for treading through snow, and an alternate sole augmented with 16 carbide spikes providing extra grip on ice.
Thanks to a snap-on system the soles can be easily swapped even while the boot is being worn, and they lock into place with reassuring clicks once you take your first steps. The new boots range in price from $140 to $200—depending on the level of waterproofing and insulation you need—while additional soles for particularly extreme conditions can also be purchased.

"Sure I'll buy a pair, just let me get my mone-- Oh wait..."
That's actually such a cool concept, if it wasn't so expensive I'd love to own a pair but I guess for now I'll just have to wait.
Seems really cool, just wondering about the fly fishing bit. Rainboots are so much better in that aspect.
That is super epic, I definitely buy a pair if I still was a big outdoors guy.
I've always wanted a good pair of boots. I guess I'd have to shell out quite a bit though...
Fascinating, and how clever!! Maybe they should do the same with clothing...
That's pretty neat! I own a pair or Scarpa boots they look somewhat like these
Great and very clever
perfect for my side job as a super ninja.
That's pretty nifty, surprised it didn't come out sooner.
