My basketball shoes are not gripping well on the indoor court at my school. What can I do?

The floor at my school appears to be regular hardwood. I don%26#039;t know what the problem is. I just bought two new pairs, one of them was a bargain deal on some K-Swiss basketball shoes and the others were the Gilbert Arenas shoes. Neither of them grip very well and it takes from my quickness. Nobody else seems to be having this problem. I don%26#039;t know if its me or the shoes. Has anyone ever encountered this while playing and do you know of any remedies, like can I rub something on the bottom of my shoes to help them grip better? Or do I just need to get new shoes and if so what do I look for when buying them so I know they grip well to the floor.

Try using cola, but don%26#039;t apply to much or you%26#039;ll have too much traction and you might injure yourself
Reply:Wipe the bottom of your shoes with spit,sweat or water....during a game you may not have to get a towel with water on it so wipe the dirt off the sole then spit on your hand and wipe the sole of your shoes with it ...it really works or even your sweat
Reply:try to throw water on the floor from the fountains and step on it. That should help. I do that before every game!

Reply:Spray hairspray onto the bottoms of them; hairspray is just adhesive enough to allow for some grippage.

spit on the floor rub your shoes on it


until you feel the sole of your shoe sticks grip with the wood





either the wood is crappy


or too waxed





then you just gotta mop the gym floor


but the water on the ground works just fine


you need your shoe to be wet for friction


or else you%26#039;ll slide and thats not good
