I used these last season and was very impressed with the wear bars. A lot of times I’m walking a considerable distance (mile+) over paved roads, sidewalks and rocks to get into areas I fish and I wasn’t too sure if the studs would hold up. Over the course of the season I had one of the tips break off of the wear bars and lost 2 out of the boots. I had to replace the boots at the end of the season due to some of the stitching coming undone (shredded by barnacles) but the studs held up very well and I was able to put them into the new boots for the upcoming season.
