Which is better for standing all day on a boat?

The Wheelhouse. Its wide fit, EVA/PU insole and reinforced toe and heel are built for long shifts on deck.

Which is better for everyday rain and town wear?

The Ankle Deck Boot. It is lighter and reviewers say it blends into everyday wear.

Does the Wheelhouse resist oil?

Yes. Its outsole is oil resistant and SRC rated. The Ankle Deck Boot lists SRC slip resistance but not oil resistance.

The Wheelhouse should hold up longer in heavy work use because the toe and heel are reinforced. The Ankle Deck Boot is still described as durable for casual wear.

Is the Wheelhouse worth stepping up to?

Yes if you work on wet or oily surfaces for long hours. For occasional rain, the lighter Ankle Deck Boot is enough.
