Can these be used in a shower? Do they slide on a flat surface?

I would not use the Foot Walkers in the shower, because they might slide and you could get injured. They do not slide on hard surfaces or carpet. You are just suppose to press you foot down into the Foot Walker then release your foot. The Foot Walker comes with instructions on a DVD. Or you can look on youtube on how to use them.Below is a video to watch. You can search for others on youtube as well.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4dXfHx5ALU

no, they do not have any non-slip mechanism on the bottom. I have tile floors and do not have any problem with slipping.

see my review on Dec 14, 2012 in the 3 star group, I think they would have the same issues on a tile floor, in my view they are intended to slide on carpet...however other reviewers say they have used them on bare floors

No. I found that they did not stick very well on rounded surfaces. I would be afraid they would slide off, but I have not tried.

No, I think if they got even a little wet they'd be slippery. And walking on them probably would crack them after some time. They are made for wire shelving.

sorry that I cannot answer this question. We did not use them on tile shower

by it's self its pretty slick when wet. Theres an additive that you can mix in that will help. But I'd be hesitant about using it in a shower

The tips are concave so on a level floor they should suction. But because i have my chair in my shower the shower needs for water to run out so its not competely level so the tips are more the non-skid. I would gather it depends where you use the chair.

I have never had an issue with them slipping after getting out of the shower. However, they do not have anything specially adhering them to the floor.

The shower wall needs to be flat, and made of none-porous material. The surface must be clean. A drop of soap spread on the suction cup may help the cup stick.

I used mine in the kitchen. I would think if you wanted to use them in the shower, I do not see why you could not. The lens and outer trim ring are all one unit. They would be alot more water resistant than the standard shower can trim. If you wanted, apply a small bead of caulking or silicone before you push the light up to the ceiling, as they are LED and will last for a long time.

Hi. We have not used these for shower per se, but I have soaked them in water, squeezed them out and used them to wipe my babies face and hands, and they are perfectly fine. So, I think they should work in shower as well.

I own 2 of these, one for each bathroom. They both have 9 skid feet on the bottom of them. I have had no problem with them sliding at all.

I had intended this to be used in a large shower at home. Unfortunately I returned the item because the finish was not what I wanted. I don't think you can use it in a bathtub because the surface is not flat. But I am not sure.

Yes, We have them in our showers and over a bathtub. They work great, put them on a dimmer for more light control.

Yeah... they are quite stubborn. We installed In a bathroom tub, and i couldn't tell you how to do it. Goo-be-gone maybe? They are advertised as marine grade, and they mean it! I tried googling and didn't really come up with a viable answer. I would not put these on a tile floor for this reason.

I don't find that they are slippery. They are thick and heavy weight. I use them at the entrace/exit of my walk in shower so suck up any extra moisture on the floor. I would think that any rug or mat of the floor can potentially become a trip hazard but which is worse slippery wet floor or potential trip hazard in a bath mat. We love the 2 bath mats we have.
