I reached out to the company with the issue, but after over two weeks they have yet to respond beyond the automated "ticket received" message.
I came across a few postings online of people with slippery issues with Oboz shoes; I'm guessing they have chosen sole longevity over wet traction which is just silly in a hiking shoe.
