What the listing says about the formula

I’ve tried a few different grip sprays and this one worked the best for my kids for club volleyball. They play on indoor courts and it gave them a good grip, they still need to reapply every once in a while but that is understandable. They like the towel and bottle clip so they can hang it off their backpack for easy access rather than digging through their bag when they reapply. Overall, it worked really well, same as the other more expensive brands but this is more cost effective. Will buy again for sure.

We were really impressed with how well the Mr. Kicks shoe grip spray works. It made a noticeable difference on her slippery shoes, and gave much more traction on the court. After using it, the shoes felt more secure and were way easier to play in, which helped boost her confidence and during games. Definitely a helpful product for athletes!! We will be keeping an extra spray in her bag at all times. Thank you!!!

Easy to carry around. And a few sprays will significantly help with a grip of basketball shoes. cloth is used if you you don’t have a few seconds to let it air dry

I've tried a lot of ways to bring the grip back on my basketball shoes, and this spray has honestly worked better than I expected. I cleaned the soles first with the included microfiber towel, sprayed a light coat, and after it dried my shoes had noticeably better traction on our indoor court. I wasn't sliding around on quick cuts anymore, and I felt much more confident making fast stops. The backpack clip is also a nice touch because I can keep it with my gear instead of forgetting it at home. It's become part of my pre-game routine whenever my shoes start feeling dusty.

My son’s basketball trainer recommended this product to us, and we are loving it! My son exclusively wears Curry basketball shoes, and while they are really grippy out of the box, they get extremely slippery with dusty courts. This product is worth every penny to prolong the wear of his shoes. Really easy to use, and it does a fantastic job at cleaning and adding grip. I was not incentivized to write this—I just really believe in it. Thanks, Mr. Kics!

This has been handy for keeping my court shoes feeling grippy and ready to play. The included towel makes cleanup easy, and I like that the small clip lets me keep everything together in my sports bag.

J’ai récemment acheté le spray antidérapant pour mon fils, et cela a fait une vraie différence dans son jeu.
Avant de l’utiliser, il lui arrivait de glisser lors de changements de direction rapides ou de contre-attaques, surtout lorsque le sol du gymnase était un peu poussiéreux. Après avoir appliqué le spray, l’adhérence de ses chaussures s’est nettement améliorée, et il s’est senti beaucoup plus en confiance sur le terrain. Il m’a même dit qu’il n’avait plus besoin de se concentrer sur ses appuis, ce qui lui permettait de mieux se focaliser sur son jeu.
L’application est simple et rapide, juste quelques vaporisations sur les semelles, un court temps de séchage, et il est prêt à jouer. Nous apprécions également le fait que le produit ne laisse pas de résidus collants et n’abîme pas les chaussures.
Dans l’ensemble, c’est une solution simple mais efficace pour améliorer l’adhérence sur les terrains intérieurs. Je le recommande sans hésiter aux parents et aux joueurs qui souhaitent éviter de glisser et améliorer leurs performances.

I tried this sport shoe grip spray and it worked really well. After spraying it on the bottom of my shoes, I noticed better traction right away. It helped me stop slipping on the gym floor and made quick movements feel more stable. The spray was easy to use and dried quickly without leaving a sticky mess. It also lasted through my practice without needing to reapply. Overall, this grip spray is a great product for sports like basketball, volleyball, or gym class, and I would recommend it to anyone who needs better grip on indoor courts.

This is the best shoe grip spray in the world! And I tried many other products to improve traction. It comes well packaged and performs at 100%. For anyone who plays competitive basketball, attends camps, or trains frequently, this is absolutely worth having in your bag.
It goes on evenly and doesn’t leave a residue. Dries quickly and gives soles that strong bite. You don't feel like you’re dragging. I was able to stop harder, change direction, and get better at defensive slides.

Hey I’m Isaiah I bought The Mr Kics Shoe Grip and it is honestly a game-changer. Ever since I started using it, my shoes grip way better on the court, and I don’t slip at all anymore. It really helps me move faster, stop harder, and just play at my best. If you hoop, you definitely need to go get this. I rate it a 5 ⭐️ For sure!

Love this product. It’s our second order - my son uses it for Basketball and his teammates come looking for it! Truly helps with control & grip in a faced paced game.
My daughter also uses it for volleyball and badminton - really helps especially on any dusty gym courts. She feels more safe & supported.
10/10 recommend!

My kids are active in sports, so I like keeping their court shoes in good shape for practices and games. I find this spray useful for cleaning the soles and helping improve grip, and the included microfiber towel makes wiping away dirt easier. It’s a handy option for basketball, volleyball, and pickleball shoes.

I play basketball consistently after work just to keep myself healthy. The court gets slippery after 1 game cause of all the sweat. This spray actually made a noticeable difference when I started using it. My shoes had more grip and I'm not afraid to run through sweat spots on the court.

When playing pickleball, I notice my shoes can lose their grip as dust builds up on the soles, especially on indoor courts. I like using this spray to freshen them up and help restore traction, which makes me feel more confident when moving quickly or changing direction.

Received this and used it already on game day for my son. It was easy to apply and worked really well even in a dusty gym. Got a second one for my daughter who also plays basketball. Love it already need to get more to keep as my kids play a lot of basketball.

I tried this spray yesterday on my kicks when we played pickleball with my friends. I noticed that it has better grip on the court. The good thing about this is that I can use it also to clean my shoe sole after the game, as it comes with a microfiber towel.

I use my favourite pair of Nikes for pickleball. Initially, the soles had little traction on the court but I don't have budget for new shoes hence this grip spray. It totally works! Now, I'm not too worried about falling flat on my face while I play.

Bought this for my teenager’s runners for indoor box lacrosse and basketball. Works great. Doesn’t get built on residue like other products. The bag clip didn’t hold on to the bottle well enough but keeps it in place well when inside the bag.

Works great on my older shoes where the tread is worn a little thin, able to work on my treadmill without having to worry about slipping! Seems like a great value for the money, easy to use just spray on and allow it to dry for a few minutes

Grabbed this for my son after his coach mentioned grip issues during a few practices. Sprayed it on his shoes before his last two games and he said he felt more confident moving around the court. We've been keeping it in his bag since.

I used this grip spray before a basketball game, and I noticed my shoes had much better traction on the court almost immediately. It also cleaned up the soles nicely, and the included microfiber towel made it quick and easy to apply.

Bought this Grip Spray for my daughter after seeing it on Instagram. She used it this past weekend and said it worked very well. Her teammate also used some and said it worked well for her. I would definitely recommend this product.

Great for my kid's Vb shoes. I can really hear the squeak of the shoes after spraying. Most importantly, the kid's feedback was that it helped with the grip, no more wiping the bottom of their shoes with their hands! Win win :)

Spraying this onto my outsoles restores a rubbery bite that grabs the tiles like a magnet. I can walk across high pitches with confidence, knowing my boots won't slide when I transition between scaffolding levels.

This is a game changer for me because it gives me more grip in my shoes and can perform better in my sport. Sometimes i have this problem that i always slip but using this, it never gave me that problem anymore.
I coated the worn-out rubber soles of my sneakers with this before heading onto the court. It completely brought the bite back to the rubber, allowing me to make sharp cuts and stops without sliding out.
LOVE this! I've been using this for the past month and I can confidently say that this grip spray is well worth the money! It's so easy to use, it dries down fast, and it works well with my sneakers.
