I have an evolv predator that i have not been using and notice that they are REALLY slick now when i try to use them. I have not really used this pair at all since I had them.
Is there are a way to make them sticky again?

Wire brush or sandpaper the bottom until the grayish coating goes away.

Agreed. I believe what has happened is the rubber has oxidized. Getting rid of that outer layer should bring back their performance.

ROGER THAT. Also, wipe down the rubber with some rubbing alcohol and a rag to get off any gunk that might have accumulated.
