How can I make the soles of plastic shoes less slippery?

I have a nice-looking pair of platform sandals with a hard plastic sole. They have a texture on the bottom, but they're still slippery even on dry floors. Sandpaper doesn't help. Suggestions?

In case you're thinking, don't buy cheap shoes -- they're Donald Pliner and they shouldn't have this problem:-)
