In a hard sole, they were great, but I couldn't find any hard sole shoe that worked well for a surf application. I tried them in an old pair of leather, low top, work boots. You couldn't beat the grip and hold but they felt like bricks, once they got wet. May be ok for the ditch if you don't' get them wet...All in all, the ware bars are far superior.

I must say I was a little disappointed with the size of these studs. I originally bought these as an alternative to the wearbars. They didn't seem like they would be a good option for the bubbleweed rocks that I'm constantly climbing onto. they just didn't have the length I was looking for. That being said I threw them into my Beans bootfoots for my adventures up to the ditch.
I did look around on their website and they have a ton of studs for different applications, the ones that seem like they'd be killer were the studs that they install in MotoX bikes. Same concept as the #3000 just much longer.
That being said I went and bought the wearbars, and I really can't wait to dig in with these babies!
