Would these get me to and from the locker room and pool at the local gym safely? The tile in the locker room is slippery.

I put mine on in the locker room, and walk out to the pool with no problem. The soles look like they are made to prevent slips.

For sure .. they have a textured bottom that will give you grip. I wear them on fiberglass boat deck with no problem.

without a doubt. They are also helpful on a somewhat slippery hardwood floor- my situation- when doing burpees.

They're no more slippery than walking around in socks on the floor. My 4 and 2 year old both love to help me clean with them, and we haven't had any bumps or bruises yet;)

Whenever I walked onto my linoleum or wooden floors with them, I almost fell because they were so slippery. Mine actually came with a warning label that they were only for use on carpet because of that- and they were right!

If they are used outside your shower, the only water that would get on your floor is that remaining on you, so yes, there would be some water on the floor under the mat.

Yes they are great mats, if they get really wet they may become slippery, but not just from sweat.

Yes they get slippery. They are textured pretty good but its still plastic and it gets tough when your hands get sweaty. And I use these outdoors in phoenix in the dead heat of summer. I like to think it makes the workout harder tho.

I think it all depends on the locker, unfortunately. I've been to some gyms where the padlock shackle would fit in the door lock, but I don't think they would work at my current gym... To be on the safe side, I would get a lock with a shackle that isn't as thick.

I haven't had any issues with my sneakers sticking. My only issue so far is that it gets quite slippery for floor work if my hands are even a little sweaty (ie, push-ups, down dog, etc)

They are not too slick; I have Hard wood floors and they can slide around- they don't have traction or anything like that. They work fine for us though.

Since I applied this in a shower area, the floor stays fairly clean. Besides the usual cleaning, I have never had any troubles with this product. To date, floor is still non slippery.

I would say these would not work for your purpose. You won't definitely won't get a true bounce in spots as you dribble. Also if you were to take a dive or trip and fall, the grippers on top would tear your skin up something serious. I'd rather fall on smooth concrete or tar. YMMV, but as a basketball player myself, I know these wouldn't 'cut it' for me.

I personally wouldn't want to trust them inside a tub. It just might be too slippery when wet.

I haven't used it in the gym. they are a bit heavy though - you might want to take that into consideration when using them at the gym.

Yes- these should be great! These are thick and soft, but should stay on a gym floor without much slipping. The basketball can also be bounced on the spot without sending it all over the place.

I think they're better, but your milage may vary. The surface of them is pebbled and sort of rough, so if your foot is right on one, you're not likely to slip, versus bathmats that often do not stick properly to the tub, and slip right out from under you. (Also, bath mats are more likely to get moldy than these will.) Like other people have mentioned, you're going to want to get at least three packs for a full size tub, because there's only five to a pack, and the lack of coverage between can be /really/ slippery, if you step there without expecting it.

No, I wouldn't recommend that. Even though the bottom sole 'might' be a bit water resistant, the tops are definitely not. They are a papery material with very tiny holes in the material. They would soak up the shower water and you would slosh back to your room. If you want something for the shower I would recommend either flip flops or pool shoes for the shower and then change to these to go back to the room. I liked these because you can just throw them in the trash when you're done with them. They are very light weight and easy to pack. Hope this helps.
