Make Boots That Have Plastic Soles Less Slippery

There are a number of products available that can give your boots better traction.


Plastic soled boots provide a soft, cushioned step but can also be slippery to walk on in some conditions, particularly snow and ice. Rainy conditions may also pose a problem when plastics soles are wet, creating a slippery surface that can result in a slip and fall.


Sole grips, which are rugged adhesives that stick to the bottom of the sole, can provide better traction for plastic sole boots. This a good option for fashion boots used in everyday conditions. Rubber boot grips that fit over the sole of the shoe are ideal for making work boots less slippery in tough weather conditions. These sturdy sole covers can be adjusted for better support and often include small carbide spikes for better traction on snow and ice. Both of these aids are available online or in most shoe stores. They can be applied to most boots quickly and easily.
