They have excellent traction on wet and dry surfaces of all types (wet rocks in rivers, wet pavement, wet smooth stone, wet concrete, wet metal), as well as unstable surfaces like mud and gravel and snow, and considerable traction on ice.

These shoes won't handle fire; but the soles are operationally rated up to a minimum of 300 degrees Celsius and they retain flexibility and traction characteristics down to a maximum of -25 degrees Celsius.

I wish I could get slicks made of this compound.
