Rubber replacement for toe spikes?

Anyone make this? I have some Diadora MTB shoes with holes up front for toe spikes. Those holes are occupied by screws, and every time my foot is coming off a step on the screws my foot slips. I don't want to wear the toe spikes either (that's worse). Taking the screws out leaves bare plastic with large holes that water and road crud gets into.

I want basically a rubber screw in stud or tread point to put where the toe spikes go. I've done Google searches to no avail.

Anyone know of anything?

I bet the holes will take soccer studs, which come in a wide variety of heights and materials. Your local soccer shop may be able to help you or suggest something.

instead of taking the screws out, cut them.

Soccer studs. That's bloody brilliant.
