I ordered 6 pairs of different water shoes and decided to keep them because the soles felt solid and previous reviews said they were good on wet surfaces. Everything is correct! We traveled through French Polynesia on waterfall trails, through streams of wet rock and even jumped into the falls. There are no problems with slippage on the track at all. The ONLY slip I made was on moss covered rocks that were completely submerged in a 3-4 foot natural spring. I really hope they hold up as I'll be wearing them again for some wet hikes very soon. The price is also unbeatable!
