Grip studs and washers

Could cut a plastic insert for extra protection inside your boot. Might also try a nylon washer.

I'm going to monitor the studs more closely after each trip. Some were so far into the boot I couldn't remove them so I had to push them all the way through into the inside of the boot. Hard nylon might work. Maybe I'll add some as a second washer.

I just looked at nylon washers but I couldn't find one that seated with the GS, I'd love to hear the results if someone more patient than myself ordered ones that work.

Amazon has a ton if you search this- Nylon 6/6 Flat Washer, Off-White, Inch

Multiple thicknesses too. I wonder if they would be strong enough? Maybe Nylon then stainless?

Galvanic action would still occur where steel washer contacts stud shaft, even if separated by a nylon washer.

You're right - its the head of the stud that corrodes and gets skinnier - then the washer falls off.

Plastic will burn through in one night of walking.
No to be rude,but the cheap prick that Iam I simply use 5/16 tech screws and cut them down with linesman cutters.

Also just to clarify how cheap I am, I use LL Been stocking foot waders and buy Keens water proof sandles and screw them bitches in.
Sandles cost is 76 clams.
