The “Swiftwater” crocs have a regular boat shoe sole for wet surface gripping. I have used 2 pair with success on wet surfaces while loading the boat. I still try to be careful about slips. Hope you are well and back posting those nice catches soon.

Sorry for the injury brother. I'm sure we've all taken a spill or two loading and unloading the boat. I know I certainly have.
I don't know about you, but in my older age I bruise like never before and my ole' skin has turned to crepe paper.
Wishing you a speedy and uneventful recovery.

I put skateboard adhesive no-slip grip tape, which is very rough, like sandpaper, all over the tongue of my trailer and front edge of boat where I climb over when loading. I also bought a pair of Sperry deck shoes. I fish 99% of the time by myself, and don't want to bust my hiney. I don't heal as fast as I used to.

Ain't that the truth. Don't know your age but once ya hit 50 you never seem to heal up completely. You just walk around broken, beaten and battered.Originally Posted by jawjatek

I got some sandpaper type grip tape from work and put it on the area. Now if I fall I will have a good case of road rash as well.

I came close to going down at ramp the other day, I was wearing crocs. I have ordered some deck shoes myself, sorry for your misery. P.S-- Do not wear flip flops.

I'm old and disabled and fish by myself most of the time. Some days I just can't crawl into or out of boat while loading and unloading the boat. I ordered a set of the trailer bow steps today.. A friend has them on his boat and it is simple and safe for me to enter and exit his boat.
