non-skid
Made to grip
Non-skid describes surfaces or materials designed to prevent slipping: non-skid bath mats, non-skid shoe soles, non-skid deck coating.
The texture is typically rough, rubberized, or otherwise grippy.
Interchangeable with non-slip, though non-skid appears more often for outdoor and industrial applications.
