Vibram soles are vibram soles. I use wearbars in the cheaper/lighter (Freestone?) Simms boot and have had some stud loss but not enough to be dis-satisfied. The ball of the foot and toe area is the problem. Supposedly studs hold better in felt and I plan to try option that the next time I buy boots.
Also, be careful with the higher end Simms Boots. I have the G4's and when they get wet they pick up a LOT of weight. The Freestones are bare minimum boots but weigh much less and offer enough support without a lot of padding.
