I have done it in the snow and tried it in the grass. It's actually harder to keep your balance due to the lack of resistance.

Hah! I've thought of trying that at the local soccer fields. At least till they kicked me out.

Patrick had smooth plates on the bottom of his shoes at WBB in Oct last year.

I tried it years ago. Rich is right too little resistance and you end up on your :moon:
Better to use skate style shoes.

I took a bandsaw to the soles of and old pair of hiking boots and smoothed them off. Sorta worked, but I still found the stop/start inconsistency of
the grass in my paddocks too hard on my ankles. Sand is the answer. Just head to the beach 
ps: I also made some 'grass skis' out of some old tin I had lying around.....it quickly became obvious that it wasn't really a good idea !
pps: Once you get going in a buggy, then you'll be well and truly hooked...

Soda bottle shoes big back in 2006-2007 worked well on sand if I remember correctly. Others have tried PVC not sure how well they worked but someone
can put in there 2 cents.

somewhere on here I thought I remember a picture of plastic bottles tapped to some boots. What I used at WBB were "carpet skates" designed for sliding
on carpets in a house. I gained some measure of controll when I started to pointed both feet toes angled toward each other "snow plow" /\ .
Extemely slippery on hardpack sand , mostly crappy on grass!

I once put duct tape on the bottom of a pair of shoes, but didn't wear 'em, as no need with the wind speed that day!

Crocs are soft, ugly, smooth soled, and easily cleaned. I saved a worn down pair and they work on Sand and Grass. Just enough slide, just enough
grip.
