slip-resistant
Won't let you
Slip-resistant describes surfaces or footwear designed to prevent slipping, especially when wet: slip-resistant shoes, slip-resistant flooring.
The term appears frequently in workplace safety contexts and product marketing.
It indicates reduced friction rather than absolute prevention—nothing is truly slip-proof.
