2 Key Issues Slip – To loose ones footing or hold Slipping related incidents are mainly due to the inadequate friction between footwear and underfoot surfaces.

4 3 Try grips! A boot with a slip-resistant sole is like an all-season tire that provides solid protection through all seasons. However, sometimes conditions get so bad in the winter that additional protection is needed. Over-the-shoe traction aids or “grips” are like winter tires. They provide additional slip resistance during slippery winter conditions. Grips come in many shapes, sizes and styles. Some have abrasive coatings, others have cleats or studs. They are lightweight, fit over all types of boots and shoes, and are easy to carry when not in use. They are effective in snow, ice, oil, grease and free-standing water. Need even more protection from slips?
