Advice on boot brand/model that works w/ Appletree deck pad

Hey all. Starting to get to that season here in the PNW. Any advice on a brand and model of a neoprene surf boot that sticks well on the Appletree Skipper DW deck pad? My Solite boots (I use 3mm) are super slippery on that deck pad. Yes, I’ve used wax, and even modified the deck pad in standing areas w/ other surf traction pads, So I’ve made it work. But my boots are wearing out, and I am not attached to replacing w/ Solite.

To be clear, I like the Solite boots, and they have worked well for me w/ other deck pads.

Cheers!

Definitely one of the weak points of the Skipper DW (at least V1)…new pad?
