Ok so recently I got some new foam pads and my problem is I have hardwood floors so they slide like crazy. Is there anything I can get to put on the bottom to prevent them from sliding like crazy?

Not really. The only dependable way to stabilize foam pads and keep them from sliding is with a soft-to-hard wood mod, which is rather drastic for brand new pads. Do your pads have the gray rubbery non-slip bottoms?

No they don't have nonslip bottoms. I have other pads from pump it up and 360 ddr so I know what they are. Idk I was thinking there has to be some kinda of material I could apply to the bottom to get the same effect. That or maybe one of those nonslip shower mats between the floor and mat would work but idk.

A shower mat actually sounds like it could work. I haven't heard of anyone trying those before. I can make recommendations for carpeting, but hardwood is a different story.

If you have a shower mat around the house you could test it - if the mat sticks and doesn't slide or roll up with friction, it could in theory be taped to the pad.

Mine kept slipping on our wooden floor, so i ended up duct taping it to the floor.
