Is there anything i can stick to the bottom of dress shoes (female) to make them less slippery?

the sole is very smooth and walking on carpet is too slippery..looking for something i can stick or attach to make it slightly rougher.

Is there anything i can stick to the bottom of dress shoes (female) to make them less slippery?
All you need to do is scuff up the bottom of your shoes by either rubbing sandpaper on the soles, or my favorite way to to walk on asphalt with them on. These will make your shoes stop being slippery.
Reply:Wear them outside and scuff the bottoms up on the asphalt street or your concrete driveway should be good enough. This works really well, I have had to do it several times myself. Good Luck!
Reply:They actually make little stick-on things just for that. Look in the shoe or foot care sections of Walmart or Target, or in a shoe store like Bakers or maybe Nine West (I've gotten them at Bakers, but I'm not sure if Nine West carries them). They're just little plastic-ish things that you stick onto the bottoms of your shoes.
Reply:actually i think they sell something like that at aldo shoe stores.


i bought a pair of shoes and they asked if i wanted to buy some things to stick on the bottom to make them less slippery... i didn't. but you could ask them for that probably even without making a shoe purchase.
Reply:they do make the said grippers that you can stick on the back of your shoes , yes, but...a word of caution: Ive tried them-they wont work on a truly slippery floor, and they do fall off easily. I think you should try the walking outside and twisting thing that someone else mentioned.
Reply:Masking tape. Or they make special non-slip grippers that you can stick to the bottoms of your shoes. Any nicer shoe store should carry them.
Reply:I use the roughest grade sand paper I can find and sand them. Takes only a few minutes, it is cheap, and it won't change the way you walk in your shoe by altering the heighth.
Reply:you can scuff the bottom of the shoes with coarse sandpaper or spray hint of hairspray on the bottom and let it dry
Reply:o all u have to do is go outside on the sidewalk and twist ur feet and spin. that scratches the bottom making it less slippery
Reply:rub sand paper on the sole, it will roughen it up and you dont have to worry about anything falling off the bottom of your shoes or your shoes sticking to the ground.
