I've been losing a couple of studs here and there after long walks and fishing sessions in some nasty, rocky areas. I also need to re-tighten the wearbars before trips. One thought is that the felt has gotten too compressed over time (couple seasons old) and isn't giving enough to bite into.
Anyway, curious to know if anyone else is losing studs and if you've come up with any solutions?
Again, thanks for the help.

I use the 3/4" threaded studs in my Cabelas guide boots. The threaded receiver uses a nip taken off the thread to about 1/2" then I thread the full length in the felt sole w/o the receiver. I use 21 in my boot sole. I think 13 in the receivers and the rest in the feltsole. OK for now.
