I recently bought a new pair of boots to replace my Cross Currents that lasted roughly 2 years. After countless amounts of shoe glue to keep them together I threw in the towel and purchased a pair of Cabelas Guidewear boots, and wearbars.
The style of these boots are very similar to the Chota's for less money.
Here's the laundry list of supplies that I used for the install
Devcon- Marine epoxy
16-1/2" wearbars
SS-star washers
I installed the studs in between the lugs just as a preference rather than on the lugs themselves.
I didn't have an particular pattern for the studs I just wanted to have them spaced out evenly throughout the toe and heel.
In a few months I'll give them a test run hopefully with good results.
