I’ve always found the traditional Vans bottoms to be great in dry conditions, but add a little water and they have been really bad in my experience. So I don’t wear them anymore. Lately my faves have been Addidas Stan Smiths. Previously, I liked the Sambas, but the Smiths are even better. I have a couple pairs that I got at an Addidas outlet store. From time to time my wife drags me to DSW. I always see if there are any crazy deals on similar Addidas with uniform, flat bottom treads. I’ve bought a couple Pairs of Sperry’s that way and they have been great too. I figure anything designed to be grippy on the deck of a boat will work well and they do! For winter I recently bought a pair of North Face boots that are water proof and insulated, but otherwise are designed more like a sneaker. They have a slightly lugged sole that is overall flat and uniform. Nice and warm and grippy on the pedals wet or dry. They are called Back-to-Berkeley Redux. These were not cheap though.
