Great answer Sensei! Barry, your intuition is correct, anything that isn’t aluminum for wading studs are actually worse for you in the river. Yes they may cut the slime, but once the steel hits the rock, you make what we call a skip point. The steel, or carbide, is generally harder then the rock. Aluminum however is softer then the rock, so it cuts to goop and sticks to the rock.
