Wow, if I had seen these reviews earlier, I probably wouldn't have bought my first pair, but I went ahead and did anyway (hope that makes sense). I actually really like them! Bought them on AMAZON, so I knew I'd be covered if something went wrong. They were a little stiff at first, but got more comfortable once they broke in. Never had an issue with wet traction, except on floors that are known to be slippery. I stumbled upon these negative reviews and felt I should share my positive experience. Here we are in October, and I’m still happy with my purchase.
