boot studs

[Fins 32]

personally i have a hate for korkers, the studs break they are heavy, and fall off without tape or zipties. i got tired of this and bought the korkers boots. at first the guide models, now discontinued were great boots, but over about a year of hard fishing the ripped up, i tried the newer korkers boots but thy frankly all suck, without modification. i got fed up and bought simms headwaters boots with the vibram sole. very light and super comfy. with them i have been using kold kutter studs. they are super grippy as i put 52 studs per boot, but even with a half a can of corrosion x, they rust and i have to be replaced every 2 weeks or so. luckily they are cheap.

looking into wearbars or even better the chota fully carbide studs. does anyone have experience with either of these.

I'd really like to hear some other options as well, I'm in the market and really don't want to buy another pair of korkers- wasn't too happy with the last.

These might not be what you guys are looking for but I pick these up last year and man have they helped me a lot. I can walk miles in these and my feet not feel tired or hurt. Might not be all that great for walking on rocks. But if you're fishing from the suds. Would recommend them. They are constructed very well and the toe part of the boot might look soft in the pic but it's actually hard, but flexible. And not all that expensive 39.99 on hodgman.com
