You don't have to take them off for all of the slides, just the body slides. Basically, you put one shoe in each hand, cross your arms like you would normally on a bodyslide, and off you go. The CM's, in my experience, have never had a problem doing it this way.

I think flip-flops get very slippery when wet. I can't recall ever having had a problem in my crocs, but flip-flops have been the near death of me in the rain.
