Is it normal for my ballet flats to get extremely slippery all of a sudden?

My black ballet flats have really soft, totally flat and smooth rubber soles that have always had really good grip. Lately though, if I have been in the kitchen doing stuff, I can feel them sliding on the tiles. It is the same when I am out, on some wet indoor stairs, where the rubber would usually be able to grip. It is also becoming difficult to walk notably in mcdonalds, public bathrooms even worse, terrible on wet grass, I almost got stuck on a little slope.
Is it something that is expected with shoes like this? Why before they had so much more traction?

I don't know about 'all of a sudden' but it makes sense that the sole would be sanded smooth by contact with abrasive terrain (sidewalks, for example).

I have used the product and others like it, and find it is pretty effective.

@Mamapolo2016 hadn’t ever seen that; seems like a good product. But I wear waffle sole boots. The worst I deal w/ is gravel getting stuck in the soles - I guess that’s no slip too
