I mostly use knee boots with nubby rubber soles at low tide and sneekers at high tide. The rocks are stratified for slipperyness. Its pretty obvious to see the different zones of slipperyness at low tide.
Up high , the rocks are dry and not at all slipper. then you get to the black rocks and weeds which are way more slippery than you would ever imagine. then way low , you hit the barnicle covered rocks which are not at all slipper.
best case is when the tide is low and you can stand in mud or gravel instead of on the rocks . For low , low tide , the knee boots are great as you can stand in only 6 to 12 inches of water on a gravel or mud bottom and get out past the lip when retrieving the jigs.
Anyway , its a traecherous 10 t0 50 feet depending on where you are when the black rocks and weeds are exposed.
