Guys, If you are have rubber sole wading boots and are looking for a quick and cheap upgrade to "studs". You can add sheet metal screws. Here's the patterns to use. I'll try to post more specifics later this week, to include photos. Aluminum sheet medal screws work well and because they're "soft" they bite the rocks well. Down side is you'll have to change them out a few time a year. That's not a big deal considering the price of a box of them. I swear by them on the North Branch, which is about as slick and treacherous as you'll get. -SteveI have had problems with tearouts with this method. The boots were old and the soles a bit worn, but the screws would rip out. While they were in the sole, they worked great.
How long are the screws you are using?
