How to Make Shoe Soles Non-Slip: 5 Relatively Simple Methods – Will Help You Out in Icy Conditions

Winter is not only snowy hills and snowdrifts, but also slush and puddles that turn into outright ice.

Who wants to ruin their designer shoes with ice cleats in such weather, although this is the most reliable way to get to work on ice without injury or sick leave.

There are relatively simple ways to prevent falls.

Sandpaper

This is the first radical transformation that comes to mind when there is a threat of ice.

All you need to do is cut out pieces of coarse sandpaper in the shape of the sole, glue them with water-resistant glue and you can forget about the problem for a while.

Felt

You will have to tinker with gluing the felt. It needs to be soaked in glue.

But if everything works out, you can get durable shoes, and the protective agent will last longer than sandpaper.

Adhesive plaster

This is for those who are caught by bad weather or on the road. You can stick the patch crosswise and run to a taxi or a stop.

This life hack won't do more than that.

Sealant

If you have a colorless construction sealant, you can apply a few drops to the sole and let them dry. You might as well set fire to old nylon tights and drip the melting material onto the sole.

Sand

And the last life hack is to apply glue to the dry sole and sprinkle dry sand on top.

When it dries, you can move around without holding onto the walls.

The main thing to remember is that all these tricks are temporary and need to be updated periodically.
