Grip shelf liner for slippery slippers. I have a pair of slippers

I bought from Target that had slick soles. I took some grip shelf liner and cut two pieces, for the heel and the ball of the foot area, and glued them to the soles with Superglue.

Last night I tried them on and they had a very good grip. These slippers are for indoors. I don’t know how well this would work with a shoe you wear outdoors.

Then two of my fingers got stuck together with the superglue. See also this link, to see how I dealt with that:

I haven't tried it, but I've also heard of using just hot glue or puffy paint. Lars39 Apr 2014 #2

You didn't even have to explain it.

I know it isn't really funny to have a Super Glue problem, but

Now as to the slipper problem, what a good idea! I have had to throw slippers away because they were intent on killing me.

Sorry 'bout your super glue incident. Sure glad your eyes weren't involved.
