woody,
just as decksweeper and i stated, drill a hole from the innersole of the boot out, and through the felt sole as well

then lock in place with screw all the way through

felt sole doesn't have a chance of moving any more

its bulletproof, i'm telling ya

Duct tape dude, I had the same problem a couple of times in some of the worst places. Duct tape takes care of the problem. Five tight wraps every time out and they never come off.

It seems like some people are talking about the ones with the laces and some are talking about the ones with the buckles.

I have the buckle ones and the only problem I've had is the loss of a few spikes. I like the idea someone mentioned of drilling out the hole and using screws though - I have a ton of SS 10/32s for the yak that will work well for this.

BTW - McMaster is a good source for the screws & washers.

I did my buckle style, 5500 I believe.

AMEN!!! I've done the duct tape for years and you can't beat it. Korkers stay on and a BIG roll of duct tape at Ocean Stae Job Lot is 3 bucks. I replace the tape maybe every 3 trips. As for studs falling out. I wear em out before they fall out. A bag of 60 from Korkers is $18.00 and will last you a couple of seasons
