SIMMS HardBite™ Boot Studs Vibram (20-Pack)
SIMMS HardBite™ Boot Studs are premium replaceable traction studs engineered specifically for SIMMS wading boots with Vibram® StreamTread™ rubber outsoles. They transform standard rubber soles into a high-performance traction system, providing confident footing on wet timber, moss-covered rocks, slippery riverbanks and a wide variety of river bottoms.
Each stud is manufactured from 45+ Rockwell hardened steel with a corrosion-resistant zinc coating for long-lasting durability. Welded tungsten carbide gripper pellets bite aggressively into moss, algae and other slippery surfaces, delivering exceptional grip and outstanding wear resistance. The 1/4" hex-head screw allows quick installation using any standard 1/4" hex driver or nut driver.
Each pack contains 20 replaceable studs, allowing you to easily upgrade compatible Vibram® soles for maximum traction in demanding wading conditions. HardBite™ Boot Studs can be used on their own or combined with SIMMS HardBite™ Star Cleats to create the ultimate traction system for technical rivers and challenging terrain.

Penetrating Grip for Technical Wading
Unlike star cleats that increase surface contact, SIMMS HardBite™ Boot Studs use sharp tungsten carbide tips to penetrate moss, algae and soft slippery layers, reaching the solid surface beneath. This penetrating action delivers exceptional stability on difficult river bottoms, giving you the confidence to wade farther, cast better and safely explore more challenging water.
