grippy socks
Non-slip foot covers
Grippy socks are socks with rubberized treads on the soles to prevent slipping on smooth floors.
They're standard issue in psychiatric hospitals and inpatient mental health facilities, leading to dark humor about grippy sock vacation as slang for a psychiatric stay: I had a breakdown and ended up on a grippy sock vacation.
