Soaps are surfactants, "surface-active agents" that turn down the surface tension of water. Surfactants actually make water wetter, by weakening the attraction between the water molecules. When one surface rubs against another, their nooks and crannies catch, producing a dragging effect. But add water, and your shoe (or skin) glides on a liquid film, reducing your contact with the floor's (or slide's) imperfections.
