I'VE HAD GOOD LUCK WITH THESE SANDALS AS I PRIMARILY USE THEM AT THE GYM WHEN I HIT THE SAUNA OR STEAM ROOM. TRACTION WAS GOOD EVEN ON WET FLOORS WHERE IT SHOULD BE SLIPPERY WHEN WET. THE UPPER IS PLASTIC SO IT WORKED WELL WITH MOISTURE AND IS A GREAT BEFORE AND AFTER SANDAL. IT CAN RUN A LITTLE WARM WHEN USED FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME BUT THATS WHAT I USE MY NB 992 SANDALS FOR. IN FACT, CANT WAIT FOR NM TO MAKE THE NEXT GENERATION IN TIME FOR SUMMER...

This is very comfortable with good tread. The wide width is quite ample. I'm getting a second pair because on my 1st the connection point on the instep failed on both left and right -- this after around 3 years of use, so I'm not griping too much. But I'm pointing this out as my opportunity to encourage the product development team to reinforce the instep arch anchor point on the upper when this product is next updated.
