Stud Maintenance Tips
Keep your studs gripping like new.
Grip Studs® are built tough, but like any good gear, a little upkeep goes a long way. Follow these quick tips to extend the life of your studs and get the best performance every time you head out:
-
Rinse Off Grit and Salt
After a muddy hike or saltwater session, give your boots or gear a quick rinse. Grit and corrosion can shorten stud life if left unchecked.
-
Check for Wear
Take a look at the tungsten carbide tips now and then. If they look rounded off or overly worn, it might be time for a refresh.
-
Use the Right Tool
Always install or remove your studs with our Grip Studs® tool. It’s designed to seat them just right—no stripping, no slipping.
Pro tip: Keep a few extra studs and your install tool in your gear bag to help your friends out when they can't keep up with you anymore.
