These sandals will not have good traction. The sole feels a little like felt. I purchased these for sailing and there is no way they will be good for walking on a wet deck.

The fit was good however if you're in between sixes, order your smaller size. I usually order an 8-1/2 or 9. The 8-1/2 fit well.

This sandal looks nice on - not as clunky as other Keen sandals. It has good arch support. I think it would make a nice walking sandal with the bonus of toe protection.
