- Insoles of the shoes, they are treated to make their surface rough so that the frictional force is increased when they are used.
- The tyres of the vehicle are also treaded to increase friction and prevent slipping.
- For example, tires are treaded to reduce the risk of slipping and increase friction during the rainy or wet road, the same case is true for treaded shoes.
