Numbskull -
I think I have the L2's and there are a bunch of little ball bearings in the bottom of the studs that screw in. There is 10 per shoe I think. I never lost a screw all year and they still look new. I was very skeptical at first as all the boots I've tried were very poorly designed. The orvis henry forks were the worst. The studs folded over in no time and the tungston spikes wore away very fast.
The simms studs only stick out like 1/4" tops so they are lousy in bubble weed, but slick algae covered stuff they are great. Weekapaug or squibnocket at low tide kinda sucks no matter what you have for boots on.
