I know on my boots with leather soles, they slide like crazy on slick floors, but it is mainly the front part that slides, like under the ball of the foot and toes. There are gripper thingies available to stick onto the sole near the front that do a great job, but in my experience they don't last very long before peeling of the edges and then falling off, especially in wet weather.
Just as an aside since you mentioned Cuban heels. I know those are good for riding, but all us "ground shooters" tend to hate those heels for walking. And a lot of the boots (like my Texas Jacks) have a steel shank inside the sole that holds the shape and prevents you from just replacing with a walking heel instead of the Cuban. After several suggestions some years ago, I have had my Cuban heels shortened by 1/4", and while you wouldn't think that little of a change would make much of a difference, it is dramatic.
