How are the llbean studded boots??....Meaning, does the stud(z) stick out long enough to serve it's purpose? On the online pictures, it doesn't look like they stick out very far....???....I know you don't want them out TOO far, but if they're just there for cosmetics, it defeats the purpose and can actually make the boot slipperier (if thats a word)....

....
I have A cousin looking for a pair of pre-studded and you can't go wrong with the Bean return policy.
Thanks -
