Scuffing the bottom of your boots prevents them from slipping.
Slipping, tripping or falling makes you feel less confident and even silly in front of others, which is not how you want to feel in your boots. Not all shoes are slip-resistant, which means you may need to take measures into your own hands and treat the bottom of your boots to prevent them from slipping.
Instructions
1. Sand the bottom of your boots with a piece of sandpaper to make the soles rougher and less likely to slip on a smooth surface.
2. Use a knife to cut shallow X shapes (1/16-inch or smaller) in the bottom of your boots to give them additional traction, which prevents you from falling due to slippery floors.
3. Stick double-sided tape to the soles of your shoes to prevent slippage when walking on smooth surfaces.
4. Walk outside wearing your boots and move the soles of your shoes back and forth across the driveway to damage the bottom of the soles, which causes them to gain traction and lose the smooth surface.
