Just got back from an 8 day trip and wore my Ecco Track II boots the whole time.  They offer great (really great) traction on the wet rocks and boulders, and in the mud (yes, it rained 4 of the 8 days I was there) and are extremely comfortable.  Highly recommend them but they are a bit pricey (around $225).  But, the Ecco company totally backs up their product.  I bought a pair 10 years ago and just this year the special rubber sole broke down.  Way out of warranty but Ecco replaced them for free anyway.  

I'm looking for sticky soled boots. My problem is wet logs and wet river rocks. The river rocks are smoother than the granite rocks on portages in Quetico and exposed to high water that starts moss growing. Shoreline river rocks get slick in a light rain. Also wading on the ones underwater, add current pressures, while wading boats through rapids. It's like dancing on rolling bowling balls. Ankles are OK but still want mid-high support at a minimum.

A fellow river tripper had a pair of Canyoneer II boots from 5.10 and the "Stealth, TM" soles were sticky, but the boots were funky looking and fit badly. But looking for canyoneer boots is close to what I think we need for portaging.

I'm looking at NRS Storm boots, OTB boots, and other companys using 5.10's Stealth soles. Sounds like Chota's Trekkers are off my list though. Razor seaping soles seems to be the latest marketing thing.

I go wet foot in warm weather and can use SealSkins or Chota Brookies in cool weather. I always go wet foot on river trips though.

"My problem is wet logs and wet river rocks. The river rocks are smoother than the granite rocks on portages in Quetico and exposed to high water that starts moss growing."

The standard fly-fishing answer to moss and other slick surfaces is felt soles.

There's a version of of the Chota QT - the Brookie, I think it is - that has both rubber and a felt patch under the forefoot.  Check any fly fishing store that carries Chota stuff.

There are a few other wading boots with a combo sole also.

For travel in cold water/weather condition consider Muck Boots. Rubber bottoms, neoprene tops in a variety of soles. Work like old style rubber boots except that they are warm and comfortable. [the "Woody Sport" model comes with "stealth" soles]

Solus, I was refering to muck boots as a general term for all high rubber boots. Now I see it's a brand name. I did some looking online and found some locally but have yet to get a chance to check them out.
