I did a search but couldn't find what I thought was already here SOMEWHERE. I know that many of you use just a sheet metal screw in the bottom of your felt boots for studs. Does anyone have a source for the carbide impregnated screw heads instead of buying screws in a Simms package and paying more?

Sorry, but I'm not intersted in debating the vibram sole thing on this thread. There are many threads about that already. I've purchased felt and I just want a stud for those and was looking for a less expensive alternative. I can just use SS sheet metal screws and replace them every season as one option but was looking for the carbide headed screw from a fastener provider. Anyone know of a source? I have our local Fastenal guy looking into it, but something tells me they will want me to order more than I need if they are special order.

Your thoughts are appreciated.
