John, you'll really appreciate the Wearbars with boots over the Korkers. Since my article in the club paper, a few members changed over and have not looked back. I personally purchased the 3/4" length threaded studs. I put them in the Cabelas guide boots (which are very similar to Choata's) w/ a SS spacer washer below the stud to #1 bring up the stud hieght slighly, #2 to install in the felt portion w/o the screw reciever and #3 to keep the stud thread end from possibly coming through the inner sole . I did use them w/o and only had 1 come through on each boot. Everyone I see bought the 1/2" thread length version. Going on 2 seasons, no wearout of studs. Some did turn over slightly but it was the insert that turned over. You will realize once you wear them that the korkers use will be antiquated. Boot option is also the Calbelas Ultra -lights. They come with the inserts and weigh < 1 lb ea. I use a total 0f 21 in my boots. 14 inserts are in the boots. I add 7 to sole. I'll let you know where I put them if you're interested.
