Removable devices for slippery shoes have appeared on the market. Not everyone wants to look like a mountain climber heading to the mountains in winter, but you also don’t want to cling to air after every step you take on ice.

We'll tell you what life hacks will help you survive icy conditions.

Winter weather has not spoiled us with stable frosts for a long time. Regular temperature fluctuations and thaws provoke icy conditions on city streets.

In such conditions, no one will give me a day off from work except for a traumatologist, but I really want to avoid injuries on the eve of the holidays!

There are several effective ways to deal with this.

1. Sandpaper

You will need a couple of sheets of sandpaper, which are pasted over the slippery sole. You need to dry and clean the sole beforehand, and also use moisture-resistant glue.

2. Hairspray

The product does not have a long-term effect and is applied to dry soles before going outside.

Wait a few minutes for the varnish to soak in.

But this technique can ruin suede shoes if it gets on the surface.

3. Old tights

Of all the folk designs, this is the most durable and not worth a dime. Arm yourself with a lighter and the most worn-out nylon stockings.

Set fire to the tights and sprinkle the melted mass onto the soles of the uncontrollable boots.

The product works flawlessly, but, as in any other case, you need to dry your shoes first.

They say that after this you can walk without fear even on bare ice.

Earlier we talked about why white socks are treated with hairspray.
