Guys, are you buying the 1/2" threaded studs? If you have thick boot sole , go to the 3/4" thread length. You appreciate the extra length when putting them in a virgin felt sole w/o a thread receptable. They may be a hair long for the receptable holes. Just touch them with a grinder about1/8". I did mine as most of you have read in the past w/3/4" w/o grinding first. Only a few made it barely through. With the addition of washers the added length is key. You can always make them shorter but you can't add length. On the subject of length, does Wearbar make a longer stud. There have been times that the 3/8" exposed length isn't enough to grip weed and secure your footing when a wave washes over. I would like a 1/2" external protrusion. The receptable for the studs are recessed. This makes the external stud exposure less than it is. They remain the length with the plain felt sole installation.
