Don't buy these sandals...
I purchased a pair of these five years ago and they were great. The nobs did not come off...the strap finally broke loose after three years of use. I just purchased a new pair in June and by August most of the nobs are off already. They are almost unusuable at this point.
I wrote to the Adidas to let them know that the quality had gone downhill and got a 'corp-speak' response but no answer or even willingness to admit they have a bad shoe now. See update below:
Recently, a friend of mine bought the Adidas Men's Calissage, with the clear nubs, and they have not lost any nubs in over three months. They seem to be about the same as this version, just better made nubs. I would recommend going with the Calissage...if you can find it in your size. I checked on Amazon and they were out of many sizes.

I have only had mine for just over 3 weeks, and already the nubs are falling out like crazy. They're all over the house. Very poor quality. Adidas has gone downhill.

These are awesome!! They are the only kind of slippers that I can wear because I need the massaging bed. However, as much as possible do not get these wet as the massaging nobs seem to break off sooner if the slippers get wet.
Honest reviews on adidas Originals Men's Adissage Sandal
I bought these thinking the little adissage would feel nice but after trying them the first time my feet were in pain after 30 minutes. Then I tried to wear them again another day but with thicker socks and found that I could only last 1 hour walking in them. What I would compare them to is walking bare foot on small pebbles if you can handle that and enjoy it then these are for you but if you have sensitive feet like I do you might want to buy the non-Adissage.

These sandals are amazing if you give them the chance. Many reviewers have said that they hurt and are uncomfortable. I wouldn't say that they hurt but more towards the uncomfortable side if this is your first time wearing them. However, after a couple days of wearing them around the house, your feet should get used to them and the nubs start to soften just a bit. Now they're so comfortable to me that I try to find places to walk to in them!
I like the fact that the sandal strap is adjustable, but at the same time, very sturdy. In the summer I like to have the strap a little tighter. When it starts getting cold, I loosen the strap a bit so that I can wear socks with them around the house for my cold feet.
One weird thing that I've discovered is that, if I wake up and immediately put them on, they feel like they pinch the bottom of my foot just a bit. The feeling goes away after a couple minutes and I never have this feeling besides in the morning with these sandals.
Also, I wouldn't wear these as shower sandals if I were you. The strap is lined with felt on the inside and it soaks up the water pretty well. In the summer it dries quickly but in the winter, the shoe might still be wet in the morning after showering at night. If you decide to shower with them, flush out the spaces between the nubs once in a while with the shower head to get rid of trapped sock lint or dust. Another tip, if you do shower with them on, I suggest tipping the shoe upside down afterwards to drain some water out because it will get trapped between the nubs. Not a big deal but maybe this is what's causing people's nubs to fall off quickly? I've had these sandals for 2 months now, and they look brand new despite the fact that I wear them everyday!
The sizing for the shoes seem small by half a size. I wear 10.5's in Nike sneakers. However, I got the sandals in 11's and they fit great! The contours of the nubs fit my feet exactly.
These shoes are definitely a great investment. After wearing them for so long, the soles don't seem to have worn too much. I much prefer to buy something nice that lasts a long time then to buy 5 pairs of cheap flip flops that I have to constantly replace.
