Reply To: Rock Treads

Hey Mike,

I have installed Rock Treads in my last two pairs of boots.  Just be careful not to drill holes too close to the edge of the boot.  That is because you must have enough space between the center of your hole and the side of the boot for the circular surface of the female lock down nut to fit inside your boot without hitting the side of the boot.  Sorry that explanation is so awkward.  I hope it makes sense.  Also, you will probably want to put something like Dr. Scholls’ gel inserts in your boots to protect your wader booties.  The lock down nuts are smooth, but you might have a screw that slightly comes up through the surface of those nuts.  Good luck.  I am sure you will like them.
