Take the nuts off at the end of the season, pressure wash the studless sandals at the car wash and lube up the thread holes - store the studs in a bag with WD-40 over the winter.....Takes about 1/2 hour total...
The DZ method is very good too....takes about an hour two times a year....

Started doing something similar 2 years ago after you suggested it only instead of WD-40 I've been using 3-IN-ONE Oil. I also lube the threads with the oil when I replace the studs. I use the hose and rinse them off whenever I spray down the waders.
2 seasons later all is status quo. |

When the time comes to retire the K5000's, consider the K1100 Plus. They are lighter, have more studs, and no threads. You bang the studs in and out with a Korker punch tool.
On my old 5000's, I didn't apply the good advice you are getting above and ended up loosing a few thread sockets on each sole. So I was forced to look for a new pair. Talking around, I got the impression that the K5000 originated from a design intended for the roofing industry. Being annoyed with the rust and loosing thread sockets, I gobbled up the 1100's and have been very pleased.
If you didn't loose any thread sockets on the 5000's yet, apply the goo mentioned above above and you should be all set.

for the 5000 models the best thing you can do w/ a new pair is take off every nut before you even put them in saltwater. then, put some locktite anti-seize on the threads and put the nuts back on and tight! from the factory, the nuts are not tight and they always get salt under/inside them. after each trip wash the bottoms off as well as you can and maybe every once in a while spray w/ wd-40 or 3-in-1 oil. depending on how hard you fish you may only get a few months to 2 years out of the nuts. after a few years, the threads rust and it's time to either make a ss bolt pair as DZ talked about or buy new again.
