Would it be difficult to apply felt to the bottom of a pair of gym shoes?

How do felt soles supposed to “work”?  Wet felt seems like it would provide the worst traction ever on slick mud. 

That would be correct. It grips river rocks that are underwater, slides on mud like skis. I’ve done some nice “downhill” runs in them through wet leaves haha

Ah, have have never slipped on a rock that was stationary, just when they shift due to moving too fast.  That and muddy banks account for all of my wading falls.

Around he most rocks are round and might as well be ice as far as slickness

Cleats are great for land, horrible for river rocks

Ah yeah I guess that makes sense, less surface area and their effect is useless on an impenetrable substance.
