How often should I check the studs?

Can I use these studs on any type of boot?

How should I store my boots with studs?

Troubleshooting

Studs are loose or falling out.

Tighten the studs using the installation tool. If the holes are stripped, consider using a slightly larger stud or filling the hole with a durable adhesive before reinserting.

Studs are difficult to install.

Ensure the holes are clear of debris. If the material is too hard, pre-drill pilot holes using a small drill bit.

Reduced grip after installation.

Check if the studs are installed correctly and are protruding sufficiently from the sole. Ensure that the sole material isn't worn down, which may reduce the stud's effectiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure your boots are clean and dry before installation.

Placement: Distribute the studs evenly across the sole of the boot for balanced grip. Consider stud placement based on your typical wading stance and the terrain you'll encounter.
