Wading boot cleats

Hi All, Anyone use Kold Kutter cleats for slippery rocks. Simms brand are to spendy for me. I have tried size 8 sheet metal screws and was not satisfied with them.

Bullhead.

I use 3/8" Kold Kutters in my soles on my Korkers. Work very well. I have about 20 or so in each sole. They hold up pretty well even if you walk on concrete a bit. I usually only have to replace a few each season.

I prefer felt. Any kind of stud works as long as you have felt.

We don't use any cleats because we use a lot of rubber boats here. It's against the law to use felt because of fear of spreading invasive species. T^hose are the only two drawbacks to living in Alaska that I can think of. ( Mike Chell). We have calks we can slip over regular waders when we are wading.

I have used Kold Kutters for a lot of years and mostly use 3/8 on thinner soled boots and 1/2 on thicker soled. I only use them on rubber soled wading boots though.
