My daughter wears Pedipeds almost exclusively and this is the first time I've been disappointed. The other reviewer is correct about part of the sole being made from a non-rubber material. They have hardly any grip, compared to the other styles of pedipeds. I love that my daughter can walk on wet floors and run up slides with the tremendous amount of traction on her other styles, but this pair sucks. I'm sad, because they're really cute and comfy. Returning them.
