Select grip for the correct function
Heel silicone is designed to reduce slipping inside the shoe, while sole grip is intended to increase contact with the floor or mat. These are different functions and should be specified separately.
Balance coverage and skin comfort
Wider grip areas may improve hold but can feel warmer or more noticeable. Sample strip, wave or dot layouts and confirm adhesion after washing.
- Heel strip width
- Dot or wave pattern
- Silicone softness
- Wash adhesion
- Skin-contact area
Treat grip as part of the artwork
Sole grip can incorporate a logo or repeat pattern, but line width and spacing must remain suitable for printing and functional contact.
