I like the Rugged Sharks. I bought them at least one size big. They fit great.
When it's warmer, I always wear the crocs.

Has antone ever tried something like the knee-high rubber hunting / fishing boots that Cabelas and the like sells. My rubber hippers I wear when jetty fishing are very comfy. Just not sure how slick they might be on a deck.

Try the chikana. I can't imagine you won't like them.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

I have been wearing the 8" Norcross Servus white boots for 3 years with no issues.

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.

I've been wearing Dunlop's Purofort for about 10 years. Great boot. Extremely comfortable and rugged. They are pricy, around $80 I believe. A lot of the commercial guys wear them--the soles won't give out and the rubber in the boot doesn't chafe your legs. They are knee-high, which might be too long for you. Five star recommendation.

Go one size up from what you wear. So I wear a 42 shoe but a 43 Dunlop.

Back in the day I always cut the boots off my old waders that had sprung too many leaks. Used them on my shore tog trips and (blasphemy) the few times I was invited on boats. Even learned that the waders, sans boots, worked good as foul weather gear when you didn't need to wade. Frugal me.

The wader boots make black marks on white boats. Not on my boat you don't.  |

Even the chikana? It is designed for boats and seems to do pretty well, but my experience in boats is limited. |

New pair of Servus for me last year. Much more comfortable than the oldies and great sippings to help from slipping.

I use the Muck Arctic Cat in the winter... Love it, don't have the traction issues onboard that Sandman noted. Multi-purpose winter boot... Fishing/ice fishing/shoveling etc. Crazy warm.
In the summer I just use the el cheapo white Servus boots with inserts.
Xtratufs are garbage now- fall apart with any hard work. The old ones are still awesome, though.

maybe I got a good pair, but I got some last year and wore them most of last winter/spring offshore monkfishing and they held together just fine and never once were my feet cold or sore after 14-18hr days. |

Yeah...I have been buying a pair of chikanas every year and keep last years as a back up pair or for doing stuff around the yard. They are fair when new (still nothing compared to a boat shore for traction) but get slick quick.
I want to try the rugged shark boot. http://www.alltackle.com/rugged_shar...shing_boot.jpg That looks like it is more boat grip and somewhat comfortable. Also I know shimano makes a boot but I have not tried it on. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...electedIndex=8 |
