Felt Soled Wading Boots

I recently got a pair of chesties and wading boots with felt soles. I bought studs today but was wondering what the best configuration for screwing them in would be eg. 10 in each heel with 10 towards each toe. All advice appreciated.

Laughing i usualy have a net stuck to my back, so a slip is usualy followed by the net cracking me on the back of the head. I'm very cautious now, too many falls for my own good

Rolling Eyes Let me know how u get on with the studs, i've been threatening to get them for a while. Rolling Eyes As for advice on how to sort them, Confused can't help u there beatnik, sorry. Sad

if you had about a dozen in each boot they sould do the job and keep a few for wen they get losed cos they always fall out

Beatnik69 on my wading boots i put 9 on the sole & 6 on heel all about 1" apart i found this was plenty. The best way to put them in is get a small socket that fits the head of the stud & also fits into a power drill cause that felts tougher than it looks.
