My boots

last season i ran into the same problem.

I bought a pair of korker torrent shoes with the studded soles. Plus side is they weight nothing and are very comfortable. great for wetsuit fishing and swimming to rocks.

Bad side is sand gets in the soles and pops out the middle section making them very uncomforatble and not enough studs on the edges, and no ankle support.

so i bought a pair of hodgeman/frogtoggs boots from one of the major sporting good places for like $25 on sale, I went with the lug boot sole, boots weigh nothing and dont absorb water. then went to home depot and bought a pack of hex head metal tappers in stainless. Went home and drilled them in.....instant korkers.

its a cheap way out and works great. i only lost one screw all season.
