how many studs in each boot

They sent me a pair to replace my flats boots. I didn't seriously think they'd warranty a pair of boots with 800+ days on them, but they did. The ocean tek fits different, I can't wear them without thick socks, and they're loose around the ankle which can be a serious problem where I fish. I bought a pair of their freshwater freestone boots and I've never been happier.

Hank, I have been interested in these boots and was planning on putting studs in as well. First, are you just planning on putting a stud in every circle in the Vibram sole? Second, did you go with the studs made by Simms or another brand like Gripstuds? Thanks. MBR

They are wide EEE and require either the Simms Guard Sock to fill the space or the Simms waders.

I'm considering these for rock hopping as they appear to provide good ankle support. The bottom also looks pretty grippy for areas where there's no vegetation like where I paln to fish but it's nice to know there's ample places for studs.

Scotty,

 

How's the ankle support on rocks?

 

The boots are stiff and still new and not nearly broken in. But these are definatly the nicest boots I have ever owned. Judgeing by the stiffness and how they hold up while being wet on long walks i think the ankle suport and "stiffness" should last a long time. And the sole holds studs very well.
