I used epoxy on mine and had the same issue with them spinning until they were completey dry.

I re did a few with clear locite plumbers epoxy and that seemed to work better.

I have lost a few studs but I'm a big guy, 275 with all my gear and most of my spots require a long walk so I expect to Lose a few.

The studs grip to everything! I fished some of the most angled rocks ever on a recent trip and the boots kept me locked down.

There overkill in some areas but I like having them when I need them. Some of my rocks have an inch of growth on them and not weeds but baby barnacles and sea life, the boots just cut right through it.

As far as swimming in them, not an issue, they do seem heavier when you take them off and there soaked but I did some long swims out on block and was fine, didn't notice the added weight.

Still a million times better than anything korker makes! there stuff is 
