A Necessary Addition To Vibram Sole Wading Boots

These add some needed bite to vibram soled wading boots. When installed properly they easily provide a full season of hard use.

Studs

Your Studs kept my Traction unbeatable walking across a small River 2 feet deep going 15 mph. Your products shine on always Thank you Simms. Mark Vandehey.

Worn Out In 1 Day

I fish in the Rocky Mountains and there are large rocks and boulders in and around the streams. I am rock hopping all day and these studs were worn flat after 1 day. If you think you need these studs to wade on sand then enjoy them. If you are going to be standing on boulders these don't last.

Studs

Put them in the new boat and they are working great.

Hardcore Studs

Improved traction on slippery clay. Expensive sheet metal screws. Had to use electric driver to start them as the tips are not sharp.

Studs

Sorry, unable to rate your studs, as Ive not even installed them yet. May not fish again until Spring. Will be using mostly in Virginia rivers. Left size info blank, but the boots are new, size 13. Not even used yet.

Jetty Shoes

These shoes gave me stability and confidence while fishing the slick rocks of the jetties. I used the hard bite screws to grip the granite boulders. Great shoes.

Boot Studs

Boots are great, studs help a lot with traction. Only used studs once.

Very Happy With Product And

very happy with product and the help of the support desk, very helpful!

Safety For Your Wading Boots

Quick to add, great for increased freestone grip. Make your wading experience safer

Work Well.

Took my time installing them and used aqua seal on each one. I’ve used the boots twice since installing them. They are all still in place and seemed to help.

Hard Bite Equals Upright

Indispensable during the spring when algae grows on the river rocks.

Alaska Black Bear Hunt

When in Alaska I was slipping on the moss on the rocks and the guide was not. I noticed later in the hunt he had the studs in his boots and was getting around a lot easier. So now I have them :). I haven’t tried them myself but have seem in action.

Good Studs

No complaints. They screwed in snugly with a 1/4" driver. Haven't fallen out or worn down after a few days use. Helped with traction on all-rubber soles, probably be evern better with felt.

A Great Addition To A Wading Boot.

I fly fish on the rivers in the southeast. There is always mossy rocks that we are walking on and after slipping and falling several times I purchased the HardBite Wading Boot Studs for my wading boots. I have not fallen since. I feel much more stable because I am not slipping at all. They are easy to install.
