I've been using a pair of Korker Chrome boots for about 4 years now with no problems at all. I really like the boa closure, the light weight and the interchangeable soles. I use the felt soles where traction may be a problem in the water, the studded rubber soles as rizeye does for winter fishing where snow and ice are an issue, and the plain rubber soles for when I am doing more walking on the bank than in the river. I change soles fairly often.
