text: Very disappointed that the shoes become very slippery when the bottom is wet.  After all, this is a water shoe!  I bought it to use on a sailboat and it worked fine when dry but became dangerous when the deck got wet.<br />I can't believe that Sperry with their reputation for boat shoes would have a product like this.  Wrote to them about it and they sent me another pair.<br />Same thing, just as slippery when wet as the first pair so I think it must be the design or material used in the shoe.<br />I did not get any better &#34;feel&#34; of what I am stepping on as the shoe is suppose to provide.<br />Would not recommend this even if you use it in dry situations as the first exposure to wet will cause a fall for you.
