Hi everyone. I've been lurking here for a while now, but finally actually registered :)

I recently bought a pair of white Michael Antonio heels off eBay (for only $5!!). They fit just fine, but the soles are very slippery. I don't know what kind of material it is, but it feels about as smooth as polished wood to the touch... So I'm fine when walking on carpeting or rough pavement, but when I first stepped onto my wooden floor, I kind of felt like Bambi when he first steps onto the ice in the movie :P

Here's a picture of the bottom of the shoes:

(They have a 4 3/4" heel with 3/4" platform, for the curious.)

Can anyone think of a way to make them a bit less slippery? Maybe some kind of fabric or other (rubbery?) material that I could superglue or otherwise attach to the soles of the shoes. Or a way to somehow make the soles themselves more rough?

Thanks in advance!
