I just used my "Great Mats" mat to do a step tape for the first time. I was surprised to find that the bottoms of my shoes are slipping on the top of the step. I never had that problem when I wasn't using the mat. Something about the mat surface seems to be polishing the bottoms of my shoes and making them slippery. Anyone else notice this? Have any solutions? Thanks.
Great Mat = Slippery Shoes?

Hi. I got the mats too after all the talk about them and I also had a big problem with slipping. I couldn't even do static lunges the first couple of times because my back foot kept sliding. I went over them with the vaccum and I also used the wet swifter on them and I don't seem to have any more trouble now. I don't know whether these two things helped or if they just lost their slipperiness after using them for a few weeks, but its worth a try. Hope that helps. Valerie

Hi Lisa!
How are you? Good to see you here! I don't have the Great Mats. I think that is the brand HB bought. Just wondering...is there a powdery substance on the mats? If so, that could be the problem. Maybe, try wiping the mats off with a damp cloth to remove the residue & see if that helps??? Like I said, I don't have them, but it's worth a try. We need to get together & go on another roadtrip sometime!

RE: Hi Lisa!
I've never had a problem with the mats, just getting taggled up with my own feet once or twice.

I don't know what a Great mat is, but I've heard to wash new yoga mats with soapy water, so it's probably the same deal.
