First, I would like to wish Russ a quick recovery. I have had a few people to fall going down these steps over the last 5 years, forunately no one was hurt. I try to warn people to favor the "wide part" of the steps and hold on to the handle. The middle part of the steps can be tricky especially when your feet are wet.

I have considered installing some WalMart doormat material cut to size and silicone-ing it down to the steps. My wife doesn't like the way it would look, but I may over ride her veto!

I use this material on my retractable steps and it works great. It is easy to change when it becomes worn. Just pull it up, cut the new material to size, and squeeze new silicone on it, and put it on each step. It stays in place and since my steps are black it blends in nicely.
