The traction version will work best on marley, wood, or gymnasium flooring while the non traction version is best for settings with carpet flooring, such as conventions, or if you plan to wear your Shocks with shoes. PLEASE NOTE: We DO NOT recommend wearing your Shocks on concrete, turf, or floors that could snag your Shocks. They may cause holes or defects that Apolla is not responsible for.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-weight: 400; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: medium; line-height: inherit; font-family: Helvetica, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Lucida Grande&quot;, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><a href="https://www.apollaperformance.com/pages/customize-traction" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; border-top-style: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: initial; border-top-color: initial; border-right-color: initial; border-bottom-color: currentcolor; border-left-color: initial; border-image: initial; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(237, 137, 81); transition: color 100ms ease 0s, border-color 100ms ease 0s, opacity 100ms ease 0s; text-decoration: none;">Please watch this short 1 minute video to learn how to customize our traction.</a></p>
