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 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.

My dad is in his late 80s so I wanted to make sure the cellar steps were safe for him. He had already purchased small bright white strips (better suited for the bathtub). I replaced them with this wider, more secure and more textured tape and was very happy. The texture is not sandpaper rough, rather more athletic gear rugged. This is a quality product. So, why is my title "almost perfect?" Because it is dark grey in color (only option I could find). After affixing strips of this to each stair, I then had to cut up dad's old white strips and place a bit on each end of the grey strip and two long slivers between the edge of the grey tape and the very edge of the stair. The stairs now look like a runway at LAX, lol, but the result is everything I wanted. If this 3M tape came in off-white, of course, it would be perfect (dark enough to hide dirt, bright enough to reflect light well). 3M, do you read reviews?

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.

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.

My review of this is for a very specific application - I used this to replace the worn out grip tape on my Indo Board balance board roller (not the deck). Absolutely perfect for the job. I would describe the surface as a stiff rubber - hard enough to take some wear and tear, but soft enough to not damage the board (or bare feet). As one would expect from 3M the adhesive is excellent with no signs of pulling off of the roller so far. One package will do 2 rollers. Only slight negative is that it is grey not black like the original (but I don't mind).

Durable, withstands Midwest winters. Was able to cut ends into a rounded edge

I decided to roll the dice with this, despite some people saying it didn't adhere well. I wish I hadn't. I cleaned the surface of my wooden front steps thoroughly, waited ample time for it to dry, and then affixed the take to the stairs, making sure to press firmly and repeatedly over the strips with a rolling pin to make sure they were seated well. It was all for naught, as 3 days later when it rained, they peeled right up, and fell off. It looks nice, and works well until it rains, and you actually NEED it...

very useful

Has helped in our bathroom steps from bath to floor good quality

Bonne qualité, colle bien, en caoutchouc rugueux qu'un genre papier sablé qui accumule les saletés ce qui est positif
