Nebe,

How long do the studs usually last. I was thinking about getting the plain aquastealths but figured I'd just get the studded and when the studs where off, I'll have the unstudded ones then.

I wear the studded simms guide boots and the only place I feel like I want to add kokers is pj light I could get buy w/out them but I feel better when wading out far when I have the extra bite.Other then that I only where the boots my last pair of freestone boots lasted about 4 years now my other pair is on year 2.I'd like to check out the korker replacement soles that joe at SRI sells those are flet Which I never had a problem with.

I go through one pair a season. Fishing almost nightly, and sometimes walking about a mile on rocks..

they are not the best on the sand, but neither am I

Nebe, I was looking at buying a pair of these myself. When the studs wear out , can you just replace the stud or do you send the whole boot back to bean for a new pair. I don't like sand either.

Chef is right, you send them back.. i'll post a pic tonight of my boots from last season. I havnet gotten around to sending them back yet, but you will see how they wear out- ive never lost a stud, but they will wear down if you scuff your feet when you walk.
