The treads are super grippy, and non-slip, and the outer is a pretty heavy duty rubber. ### Review 2 - **Overall**: 1 Rated 1 star out of 5 - **Comfort**: 1 Rated 1 star out of 5 - **Style**: 4 Rated 4 stars out of 5 **Reviewer**: Rob, Zappos Customer, January 31, 2019 The issue is that these things treated my feet like a medieval torture device...

I found the sizing to be accurate. ### Review 3 - **Overall**: 5 Rated 5 stars out of 5 - **Comfort**: 5 Rated 5 stars out of 5 - **Style**: 5 Rated 5 stars out of 5 **Reviewer**: Johnny B, Zappos Customer, June 25, 2015 I got the shoes on time as promised.
