Hardbite Studs

Grippy little studs that help keep me upright on the river. They also prolong the life of the felt soles!

Amazing Boot

Best boot you’ll ever own. Lightweight and durable.

Good But Not Great

They are great for grip but wear quicker then I would like. Also had one come out on the first day of use - though I don't know if the felt bottoms on the boot, the screw itself or is to blame for this.

Wish I Bought Them A Long Time Ago

Added grip on slippery river rocks is a huge improvement. Only had them on for maybe 15 total hrs of wading but they are still securely in place.

Good Looking Boot Real Stable

Studs have never failed me. Feel real secure with them on the boots. I would get the tool to put them on with mines didn’t come with it.

My Choice After 4 Decades On B I G Steelhead Water

Aluminum works but its soft and copresses

BarryC

Almost sticky on slippery rocks. Off the charts!!

OliverC

Put them on my G4 Guide boots felt and did two weeks fishing average four hours wet wadding a day . Started west and east bitterroot and The main boulder and finished on the Gallatin just above big sky. They were flush with the felt by the time I was finished. I was hoping they would last longer for the price. They do work but got the same satisfaction with Goat heads and a lot cheaper.

Hard Bite Studs

The studs were exactly what I needed for my new Flyweight boots. Easy to install with a simple 1/4 inch nut driver. You might consider including an installation template in the package, but that's just a very minor quibble. I simply copied the pattern on the sole of my G3 boots.
