3M Safety-Walk Slip Resistant Tape, 2 in x 15 ft, Anti Slip Grey Tape, Ideal For Slippery & Wet Conditions, Self-Adhesive Backing, Quick & Easy Application, Durable & Long-Lasting (370G-R2X180)

Used these to protect the bottom of a pair of shoes. And also to improve traction. It works well, and has survived multiple trips.

I purchased to provide more traction for an above ground pool intake side clamp on style fitler/screen. The unit kept popping off. A 22' diameter pool with about 12,000 gallons of water. The surface of the pool frame is a smooth enamel finish and the clamp is plastic. The frame has an oval shape (Bestway / Coleman). I cleaned the surface of the exposed pool frame and then applied two side by side sections of this traction tape so that the ends were facing away from the pool water, tucked under the back and bottom edge.The clamp now stays on without issue, including with adults making waves from cannon ball jumps into the pool.Pool uses a chlorine generator (salt water system), and so far the traction tape has been problem free in that environment for about a month now.

I have seen a number of reviews here saying this product fails miserably outdoors. I cannot comment on that, I haven't tried them outdoors. I needed something to make a sharply inclined physical therapy exercise ramp safe, to prevent sliding off. I tried a number of anti-skid strips and they all failed under stress, slipping away from the position they were placed in and migrating down the ramp, or peeling off completely. I've had these on the ramp for months, so they have had a lot of use, and so far they are exactly where I originally put them with no sign of peeling off. The adhesive appears to be quite good and the grainy surface provides an excellent foothold for sneakers to grab to. If they will hold someone on a 25 degree ramp without slippage of either tape or foot, I have to assume they would do great on stair steps or floors, but all my experience with them has been in a dry environment.Pros - Stay tightly in place and provide very secure footing, even under the considerable stress of a sharp incline.Cons - Others have said they loosen and peel off in wet environments, I have not tested this.

I bought these treads to reduce the "slipperiness" of my composite decking steps on the front and back of my house. I followed the package instructions to install. Bad move! After a few weeks the 3M treads peeled up at the corners, so I removed them and began looking for an alternative.I couldn't find anything better, so I ordered another pack of the 3M treads and installed as below:1. Cut the 3 M treads to appropriate length. 'Round off" the four corners of each tread, using a coin.2. Using a pencil, outline on the steps where each tread will go.3. Using the outlines of the tread as a guide, brush contact cement on the steps where the 3M treads will be placed, and allow the cement to "cure." (Contact cement in a brush applicator bottle is available through Amazon or any hardware store.)4. Place the 3M treads on the steps and press down. I put 2 x4s on top to add some weight and pressure.5. Stay off the treads for a few hoursThis seems to have helped.

This is a great product, seriously. Measure twice and cut once then place on the steps. It does not damage the wood and stays on.Background: I just bought a house and had the carpet ripped out. I asked for a satin finish for the oak wood flooring. NOTE! Satin finish is super slippery so my kids slipped down the stairs. I did not want to put a carpet on the stair case nor carpet squares on the steps which requires strong adhesive.This quick, easy, and very inexpensive solution did the trick and saved my family from any tragedies. This color is not very noticeable with wood steps. Remember to cut rounded corners so it will look professional and remember to take your time and measure measure measure.

I've always associated 3M with quality ...NOT SO! ...this was one of my worst purchases ever on Amazon. A couple months ago, I slipped on the back steps of my wooden deck and almost hurt myself. I did a lot of research and decided that I would cut and space strips of this outdoor tread tape and strategically place them on the steps for secured footing. Supposedly all you needed was a clean surface, peel back the tape, place it to the surface and press it down securely. It looked and worked nicely for a couple days ...until it rained. Then I noticed some ot the edges were starting to curl. I tacked them down with an electronic nail gun. Over the next couple weeks with various weather, practically all the edges started to raise and curl..If I caught this in time, I would have asked for a refund, but missed the deadline. With all this said, I would stay away from this product ...you'd probably have better success with gluing sand/gravel to the steps for better footing.

Easy to cut to size, easy to apply, sticks well, gives great non-slip onartificial wood decking steps when wet or icy.
