The formation of ice often leads to an increased number of injuries, and it is important to be extremely careful when moving around the streets.

Ice is very dangerous for elderly people who prefer walking to public transport.

To reduce the chance of falling, you should first pay attention to non-slip shoes.

Experts advise looking at the sole and assessing the quality of the ribbed relief.

What can you do with the sole at home

First of all, you can attach metal heels or foam rubber. Also, some people stick double-sided adhesive tape or insulating tape.

Another method is to pack sandpaper or sprinkle sand on the patch.

Even if you still fall, you need to try to group yourself. When walking, you should step on the entire area of the sole.

If the fall was painful and you feel very unwell afterwards, it is better to see a doctor.
