STory:
Sticky Feet started in 2024 with the intent to answer a simple question: Why is grip tape still flawed after 50+ years? Founded by Steven and Mike, two dudes in Gilbert, Arizona—lifelong board sport junkies who got sick of the same old gritty grip tape that doesn’t last, chews up your shoes, peels like a bad sunburn, and taps out the moment conditions get sketchy. Sure, there have been grip alternatives, but they just haven’t cut it… Collectively fed up, Sticky Feet set off on an epic quest not just to improve grip tape, but to reinvent it. We experimented with unorthodox grip materials like thermoplastics, and before we knew it, we had created EvoGRIP™—a ridiculously grippy, all-purpose, built-to-last-until-the-end-of-time kind of surface. We started with personal electric vehicles, but now we stick to any indoor or outdoor surface that needs superior grip. It’s finally time to retire the sandpaper and embrace the future of grip tape.
the dynamic duo behind sticky feet
First up, meet Steven Casamento — part inventor, part relentless tinkerer, and 100% obsessed with traction. While most people use their 3D printers for ready-made projects, Steven went full mad scientist, experimenting with thermoplastics like a guy on a mission. After countless prototypes, he created EvoGRIP™ — a grip surface so sticky it practically dares water and oil to try their luck. With over 30,000 miles logged on his personal electric vehicles, Steven knows exactly what it takes to stay planted. Think of him as the Evel Knievel of electric transport... just with fewer broken bones and way more grip.
Then there’s Mike Caster — the cool-headed co-founder who keeps Sticky Feet rolling like a brand-new set of wheels on a downhill carve session. While Steven dreams up the future of friction, Mike handles the operations, logistics, and all the behind-the-scenes magic that makes it happen. He's the one making sure the business doesn’t just move — it flows. With Mike’s steady hand and financial savvy, Sticky Feet is built to scale, not slip. Together, Steven and Mike are turning slippery surfaces into a thing of the past — one sheet of EvoGRIP™ at a time.
