Wader studs aggggg

#1 Post by luanaigh »

Guys.
I bought breathable waders and boots recently (kinetic)...
I find them great except for one thing...wader studs (snowbee) will not stay in the soles..i never had a problem with these before on other waders..
are there any other studs that you can buy around these parts ? i saw these http://www.gripstuds.com/Waderboots.php online and look the bizz ..but are based in the states...
anyone have any other ideas..ps I loctited the snowbee studs and still lost most of them..
thanks in advance,
luanaigh

just buy slightly longer hex head screw in screws... You'll find them in any big hardware..

thanks Kev...good idea...i just think there is better grip from the studs as opposed to the hex head screws...but they are not too bad...i might get some as a back up,

Just had a look at that link you provided. They do look the business if you are looking for exceptional grip.... Depends on the application, but I think the hed head screws would be enough. You can always try that route for very little and then go the expensive route if you fgeel you are not getting enough grip.
