B. Socks, if you step on that stuff with socks, its going to shred them. White fuzzies in the grip tape and worn out socks.
C. It's agressively....."grippy." It shreds skin if you hit your shin on it. Trust me, your wife will not approve.
Also, just to mention; the paint that can be used in this application will have the same features, but to the general consumer trying to apply the non-slip paint, the results are never pretty. However, I've seen your handy work. I think you'd be fine applying it and making it look how it should, but again, it's just another form of the same issues as above.
I don't like to shoot down other people's ideas without offering a solution at the same time; so peep these.

Thanks for all the great info. Never thought about socks and bare skin as we do do that alot lol. Just the way it is has been fine. I may leave it and see how it plays out
