Clogston29 we fished together last fall at the naps in the rocks. Don't think you noticed but I wear the Korker 1100. I ALWAYS duck tape them on. So does my partner RIRockhound. We fish rocks almost exclusively.
We do wear out the studs. You can buy replacement carbide tip studs from Korker for $18.00 for 60. 60 last me more than a year. I end up replacing a few each couple of trips. No big deal. There is a tool you can buy for $6.00 that is used to set the new studs. You punch out the old ones with a nail punch or round cold chisel.
I have used this sysem for the last 10 years with no problem. I do replace the Korker laces with extra long bootlaces which last a lot longer but a new pair are only a $1.98 at Wally World.

No boat, back in the suds.
