Korkers, a boot designed for sure footedness underwater, has been evolving from the day it was conceived five decades ago in Grants Pass.
The footwear has morphed from a crude sandal that helped fly fisherman stay upright to a sophisticated boot with interchangeable soles designed to perform on land as well as in the water.
And now Korkers is ready for new terrain. Under fresh leadership and with tweaked "adaptable traction" technology, Korkers is rolling out its first boot next year designed for use on icy terrain -- not mountain climbing necessarily, but for everyday use in cold-weather climates where snow and ice are common.
