At first I thought it was just me, but now I've seen plenty of reviews that say the same thing - these shoes are insanely slippery! Even the tiniest drop of sweat on the mat feels like walking on ice. I almost hurt myself several times because for some reason these shoes have the most slippery soles when wet. I'm afraid to keep wearing them as I'm sure my luck will eventually run out and I'll end up tearing something trying to wrestle.
