Vibram can aquaplane, particularly on smooth stone

It'd need a lot of water and speed to get those cleats to aquaplane!



Ah, but it only needs to aquaplane for the very
short time until the balance is sufficiently upset.
After that it doesn't matter whether the water has
had time to be squeezed into the cleats, because
the entire boot is nowhere the ground!
