     Sorry, GMC, but the only experience I can relay is *exactly* the same 
     as yours, except the game was basketball. I gave up and bought new 
     shoes. Improved my "D" (I have no "O") immediately.
     
     The good thing was those soles were so noncompliant that they lasted 
     forever. Still have the shoes, actually, and I think I got them in 
     1987. Doing lawn duty, they should last through the entirety of the 
     next millenium. (Just 431 days away!)

I wore my new cross-training shoes to play racquetball tonight and spent 
the hour sashaying like a dancing Datto all over the court. Now, there 
was a thin layer of construction dust everywhere, but my opponent with 
the sticky-soled shoes was not auditioning for the ice capades. So, does 
anybody know of a viable product I could apply to my new shoes to make 
the soles stickier? 

To make this hiking-related, I'll comment that racquetball seems to be 
good training for hiking (especially when I play in the 
non-air-conditioned courts in the Kansas summer).

Thanks-
