Hey guys.
I bought a pair of trail runners recently that I absolutely love from the previous pair that I bought and wore to death. R.I.P Trailys.
However, I noticed that they are slippery as all hell on slick surfaces. This isn't new. I just thought that perhaps my other shoes were a rarety. Apparently not.
Is there any way to make them less slick on wet surfaces?
Some of you guys might remember but last year I had posted about a trip to White oak canyon in the shanedoahs that made me lame by the time I got back. I blamed the resulting thigh pain, and exhaustion to the fact that I had been very sick the week before up to the hike. However, upon going down memory lane, I remember having a issue with my shoes. The entire trail is slippery rock. I hiked it slowly, and tedious because one wrong step could land me on my ass. Now, I am sure being sick also caused some of my issues but I am sure the shoes being so slick on that hike (newish shoe at the time) that walking so tedious used the muscles that ended up being lame for a few days thereafter.
A example of how slick they are....I was at work cutting pizzas at the make line. I could be standing completely still, but leaning on one foot more than the other, and watch it slowly slide to the pressure.
The old pair is not nearly as slick as they were in the past so maybe wearing them down is the key?
