I am sick of slipping and landing on my backside in public, but want to keep wearing the boots. What can I do to make the soles more grippy?!

Get them re-soled at a shoe repair shop. They have a choice of soles available and will advise you on the best non-slip ones.

Take them to the cobblers and get rubber soles put on this will help make them last longer and non slip.

Scuff them up on pavement, or better yet, head to your local shoe store, and buy the stick-on soles that are rigged just for this purpose. I promise that they work. They cost about $6, but are worth it.

Cobblers used to have metal stud things they put into heals to stop them wearing down, something like that might work and still be available. I seem to remember they made an awful clicking on the pavement though.

Rub the soles with sandpaper

With a sharp knife slice into the sole. Not too deep, jest below the surface

I dance and sometimes the floor is slippery. We spray hairspray on the soles of our shoes before we dance. It works quite well. But you do have to reapply. If you carry hairspray in your bag then no problem.

Go to a cobblers and get the skowered, or do it yourself with a knife, by scraping the soles to give them more grip!

Using rubber cement, glue a couple of strips of fine sandpaper on the bottom. Repeat as needed

I know how you feel babe!! Take your boots outside and rub the soles on your step or pavement to rough them up XXX
