Interchangeable Vibram Soles: Korkers New OmniTrax - Video

Vibram and Korkers adaptable sole boots called OmniTrax
Footwear manufacturer Korkers (who we had never heard of before) debuted quite an innovative product at this year's Outdoor Retailers Winter Market 2013. In partnership with Vibram, Korkers has created a feature specifically with anglers and winter sport enthusiasts - an adaptable traction sole system called OmniTrax.

Korkers' idea is to provide a footwear platform that can accept a number of interchangeable soles, allowing a single pair of boots to operate optimally in a number of different environments. Watch the following video that Trailspace shot with the Vibram USA representative at ORWM2013 for a demonstration:


According to the Korkers website, sole options include the following:

Angling
  • Vibram IndoGrip
  • Vibram Studded IndoGrip
  • Kling-On
  • Studded Kling-On
  • Studded Rubber
  • Studded Felt
  • Felt
Here is Korkers' explanation of these different angling soles and their benefits:
