How to replace Friction Pads

Applying and swapping your GRAYAMZ Friction Pads takes seconds. Here is how.

Quick Answer

To replace GRAYAMZ Friction Pads: peel off the worn pad, align a new pad with the recessed zone on the sole, press firmly across the entire surface, and you are ready to dance. The whole process takes under 30 seconds.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Choose your pads

Select Suede for studio floors or Polymer for mixed surfaces.

Suede pads are designed for polished indoor floors and studio wood. Polymer pads work on mixed surfaces – indoor or outdoor.

2

Align the pad

Align the pad with the recessed zone so it sits correctly within the placement area.

The recessed zone is the smooth, tread-free area on the sole. Match the pad shape to fit within the zone.

3

Press firmly

Press down firmly across the pad to ensure full contact and secure adhesion.

Use even pressure across the entire surface. The industrial-grade adhesive bonds best when pressed firmly.

4

Dance

Use as normal. When worn, lift an edge and peel away to replace.

The pad sits above the rim for perfect floor contact. When it is time to swap, simply peel from one edge and apply a new pad.

Suede vs Polymer: Which Should I Choose?

Suede Friction Pads

  • Polished indoor floors
  • Studio wood surfaces
  • Premium 3mm suede

Polymer Friction Pads

  • Mixed surfaces
  • Indoor and outdoor use
  • Low-friction formula

Can I Use Polymer Pads Indoors and Outdoors?

Yes. Polymer Friction Pads are engineered for consistent slide on mixed surfaces – whether you are dancing indoors on varied flooring or outdoors on concrete or asphalt. They are designed to match suede's friction properties as closely as possible on indoor surfaces while also performing well outside.
