Not a single winter is complete without ice. Slippery roads cause numerous injuries - dislocations, bruises and even fractures. In ice, everyone thinks about their safety and in the first place you should pay attention to shoes. Of course, you can use the tips for choosing the sole, but this does not always save. There are many very simple ways to make shoes more sustainable, which everyone can use.
You will need
pebbles, superglue, sandpaper, old felt boots, river sand, raw potatoes, adhesive plaster
Instruction manual
1
To prevent the shoes from slipping on ice, cut out the appliqué in the shape of the sole from sandpaper and then glue it with the hard side up. Shoes will be less slippery, but with strong ice, this technique may not be very effective. Sandpaper can be replaced with a regular adhesive plaster, which can be purchased at any pharmacy.
2
The most effective way to avoid strong gliding is another way. Lubricate the surface of the sole with superglue, and then sprinkle it abundantly with very fine pebbles or river sand. Compared to the previous method, the shoes will become more stable. The sole processed in this way does not slip on ice at all.
3
If you do not have time and you urgently need to go outside, try carefully rubbing the sole of your shoes with raw potatoes or salt. This technique can protect you from ice for a while. The main disadvantage of this method is its not too long effect.
4
Everyone knows that the more relief the sole is, the less it glides on the ice. Unfortunately, manufacturers of winter shoes do not always think about this. You can change the relief of the sole yourself. To do this, heat a regular nail over a fire and “draw” them additional soles on the sole. This method is only suitable if the sole is made of rubber.
5
Ordinary old boots can save from ice. Cut small pieces of felt and glue them to the sole. The disadvantage of this technique is the rapid wear of the material. The procedures will have to be repeated quite often.
note
At the moment, special pads with spikes are sold in stores that are suitable for any shoe model. Everyone can buy them.
Useful advice
Weather conditions are unpredictable. With strong ice, everyone is trying to protect themselves. One of the easiest ways to increase the stability of the sole are ordinary socks. If you put them on top of shoes, then the slip will decrease several times.
