Been down this same road like many of you.

The cheap white boots are not that comfortable and they are not non skid. (at least the ones I saw). The last a long time though. I let my kids wear them and hand them down to his bother when they grow out of them. They get mildewed and nasty looking after a while.

The blue gill boots have much better traction on a wet deck but they seem to crack after a year and they feel kind "thin" on bottom. It is what I wear when I need boots but they are not the best. Also, they get hot in the sun.

I have never tried the shark boots but they are next on my list.

When it is rough, I normally wear a fresh pair of topsider deck shoes with sticky bottoms with the mesh top or side and just let my feet get wet. This is the best for me, safety wise. But I agree it is nice to have dry feet.
