I had a pair. (although mine looked a little different) and the carbide tips popped out like crazy. I wore them 3 times and returned them to LL Bean. I think the sole was too thin and would think you may have problems modifying them due to tearing, etc.
I got a pair cheap and tried them at Montauk and elsewhere. They worked pretty good. I didn't have studs drop out. The selling point was the aquastealth. It has grip without studs. I wear aquastealth boots from 5-10 90% of the time. Awesome on wet and dry rock. A good\fair grip on algae

I know I sound like a broken record but I could never get used to haveing to strap them on. When its perminant I never second guess my korkers.. confidence is everything especialy when you fish on the edge, literaly.
