I'm surprised no one has mentioned this: the Korkers Kling-on soles, without studs, are slicker than snot on wet rocks! I mean, dangerously, comically, like wearing roller skates on a floor of greased bb's. I barely made it back to the car on a PS beach to change them out. (And I can dance in 5 inch heels
)
I love the boots, very light and comfortable, but I only use them with the felts. No experience with studs on Korkers or their Idrogrip (vibram) soles, but I would never, ever, use the Kling-ons for anything but hiking in on absolutely dry ground!
For wading anywhere that traction is critical - the Yak, the forks of the Snoq - the Patagonia Foot Tractors (I have 2nd gen, not the Danners) have incredible grip on rocks. Not so much on convenience store floors. So perhaps the aluminum bar Korkers soles would be similar.
Just my 2 cents to warn you off the Kling-ons!
