Does it make walking slippery? Is this good for an older person?

The shoes are not slippery. Perfect for an older person. The bottom is detachable.

No, they are not slippery. I'm a senior, so yes, I think they are okay for an older person. These slippers are fine but I originally bought a pair at Bed Bath and Beyond and they were great. Unfortunately they do not sell them anymore. These had much thicker microfiber strands on the bottoms.

I gave them as gifts. The people I gave them to didn't say ,whether or not they were slippery. I would think if you are walking on a surface that is like linoleum it would be slippery I don't know as I said.

No, I would not advise getting these for older people. They don't really pick up dirt but only move it to different areas. They could also get caught/snagged on something and cause a trip or fall.

No its not slippery. It has a texture to it that makes it grippy but it's not a noticeable texture. Hope that helps!

I used it for my daughter's Autism walk last week and depending on how bumpy the surface you should be okay. We were pushing it on uneven sidewalks and the road. The grass was a bit tricky. Seeing as it's a heavier transport chair it was a bit harder to push than my daughter's old lightweight chair. She weighs 185 pounds but I needed a more durable 'meltdown proof' chair.

No, not at all, I am 82 and had some bad falls, I would not take a chance if i did. I love these products I also use the one for wood floors.

I can add to the previous answers that it slides effortlessly. We use it to transfer into a walk-in shower. My parents can't step over the threshold anymore.

No. I find that it doesn't work while walking. I had hoped that it would. :( I actually don't like it at all. And, have only worn it once.

I always lay a towel on the top step just to catch the dripping water because of the grandkids, so I haven't noticed slippery steps at all. I'm not sure how they would be if I did not have the towel down on the top step, but we have never slipped on ours. It does have a grain texture.

Not at all. I have used it on the floor, kneeled beside it and used it for arm exercises while watching TV. It works great. I have not tried it on a slippery table. It weighs around 10 pounds, I think, is easy to carry around, but heavy enough to be very stable and it has rubber foot pads, so it doesn't slide around even on hard floors.

No, I wouldn't say it's "grippy". I think it would slide around. It's a smoother feeling

It is definitely NOT slippery. It is thick, with a rougher ( not too rough) texture, still comfortable enough to sit or lie on. Hope this helps.

No it does not feel slippery at allDue to the texture of the case, a person can get a nice firm grip without fear of dropping the device.

I would say yes. The problem I had is not the sturdiness of the steps, it was the dogs were afraid to use it. Not sure why - its not slippery. Good luck!

No not slippery so long as you dont put too much cleaner on the floor. I love it

It slides somehow. Not quickly, so it's not slippery. But it shifts nonetheless.

It has a semi textured surface so it alone will not be slippery. The biggest cause of slipping will be grip strength or lack of and stability strength/ fatigue.

The steps are not slippery. I think it would work just fine for your purpose.

No, not at all. I don't recall it being slippery even when new, and definitely not now that it has some wear on it.
