Put a pair of old socks over your shoes/boots to keep you from slipping on snow/ice!

This was a tip from the BBC news reader this morning and might be useful. Maybe it will look daft, but maybe it really works! I have not tried it, but have to go out tomorrow and it is snowing heavily in London now. I dread it and don't want to slip. Does anyone has any useful tips?

Haven't heard that one but I don't think any of my socks will fit over my boots or shoes!

This sounds a good idea and worth a try. I would rather risk looking a bit daft than end up slipping on the ice.

This is a good tip and I'll pass it on to my nan who hasn't gone out since last Tuesday because of the weather. Luckily I have a good grip on my boots and so far (hopefully I wont jinx myself now!) I haven't fallen over!

Sounds like it could work,have not seen anyone trying it though.
I went out yesterday and the paths are lethal no grip what so ever.
No wonder the hospitals are getting a lot of people with breaks and sprains.
21st reply in case you need it ;-)

This will surely make the socks draw the water up past your boots and you will get wet feet?
