I recently bought a pair of shoes that I thought had rubber soles. I keep getting shocked on the doorknobs at work so they must not be rubber. I heard you can reduce or eliminate static shock with duct tape. I put some on the bottom of the shoes but it didn't help. Can anyone help me get rid of this shockingly irritating problem?

I have been told that if you put a fabric softener sheet in your pocket, that will prevent getting shocked. I have never tried it myself, but maybe it will work.
