I wear the muck (the low one) as well. For extra comfort I replace the insole with a $20 high impact gel insole and the comfort is improved immensely of the stock sole. comfortable but not ideal on boats.

The problem I have with the muck is that is it is not designed for the boat. The bottom get slick. And it has downright poor traction on a deck of many boats. Particularly downeasters...if you step on on that metal deck plate you are going on your ass. My boat has a very aggressive nonskid so it is OK but on most boats I probably would look more for a boot that is designed for the deck of a boat.

I heard they discontinued the low model anyway. So I will try that shark boot that has a nonskid sole next.
