I just carry an old pair of running shoes for that, much more secure on your feet and better grip. Good walking stick also helps. Still hear about the time I talked the BIL into tying garbage bags on our feet.  Gonna be some wicked crossings with all this rain. Important to make sure you can ditch your rifle if you do fall.
