I had the studs and star cleats attached. I had a pair (and just bought a new pair) of Simms Freestones that lasted 4 years,used exclusively to fish the rocks....comfortable The bottom felts are still in good shape but busted off 2 eyes so I cant tie them anymore, and the toes where pretty and missing material from climbing onto rocks. The felt seems to hold traction better where their might not be contact from the studs. Tell me more about these "wear bars", never heard of them.
