Note* You should measure the thickness of your soles to be certain of what size will work for you.

lol as river ninja stated, get the hex screws. I installed them in mine when I went up to the St. Mary's in August and haven't removed them since. Really gets a grip on those slippery rocks.

Test it by getting some (they are very cheap) and tapping it in (Heel/toe/sides) to see if they will hold..

I haven't had too much problems with slipping, but I was considering Shoo Goo some felt strip on the soles of my boots. I was going to get the felt insoles from $rama, cut them width ways in strips and Goo them on only in some places, not the whole sole.
You could give that a shot. Good luck, hope you didn't get hurt.

Those would also work for him.. I typically refer to those as "creepers".. Used them quite often when I would fish the ice breakers out west, during the cold months.What about the strap on stud soles. I've seen them at Giant Tiger, forget how much. They are meant to go on shoes or boots and have studs on the bottom.

Sounds like he needs the Korkers with swappable soles!! LOL jk OP
studs will do the trick. 'creepers' would work too, although i find the studs on them are usually pretty tiny and not all that useful.

Big studs arent always a good thing. I have big rounded studs on my current wading boots and they are terrible! I have such a hard time balancing on dry rocks because the studs are difficult to stand on. I wish I had the smaller studs that arent rounded....

Yup doing away with felt on many systems, states + countries. Still think felt + small studs out performs vibram rubber...EXCEPT when your fishing in slushy conditions Dec to March--darn slush builds up under your soles in seconds!!
Should call it the steelhead ers high heels. Kicking every tree stump to break it off. Lol
