Why Do My SKECHERS Shoes Feel Slippery?

Created by Skecher Customer Support, Modified on Thu, 17 Jul at 4:09 PM by Skecher Customer Support

We understand how concerning it can be when your shoes feel slippery, especially on smooth or wet surfaces. Your safety matters to us, and we want to help you make the right choice for your environment.


? Not All Shoes Are Slip-Resistant by Design

SKECHERS designs a wide range of shoes for various lifestyles — from walking and casual wear to work and performance. However, not all styles come with built-in slip-resistant soles.

  • On wet or polished surfaces, shoes without specific slip-resistant features may lose some traction.

  • This does not indicate a defect or quality issue, but rather that the style may not be suited for those conditions.


✅ What You Can Do

If you require shoes with better grip or anti-slip properties:

  • Look for styles marked as “Slip-Resistant” or “Work” on our website. These are specially designed with tread patterns and rubber compounds to improve traction.

  • You may also consider applying an anti-slip spray coating, available online, for enhanced grip on standard shoes.
