How do you get more grip on your basketball shoes?
As a rec coach i get asked this alot. Sometimes if the shoes are older the rubber soles can form a slick glaze from lack of use. Also new shoes that are only worn inside can actually become slicker from the constant sliding on a smooth wooden floor. The best and easiest method to "roughen" the bottom of your shoes is as you walk into the gym drag your shoes slightly and scrape the bottoms. This will get any glaze off the rubber and make the bottoms stick to the floor better. Cleaning the bottoms with a mild soap will also help keep them from forming a glaze and becoming hard. Good luck!
