Taking The Time To Prepare Is Essential.
Wear appropriate footwear. Ice and snow are slippery surfaces. This means that you’ll want to wear shoes with a good grip, such as hiking boots with treads or rubber soles like those you’d find on a pair of galoshes.
In addition, invest in a good traction agent. Only a few traction agents on the market can provide immediate traction without harming your concrete. Traction Magic by Gaia is a great choice because it uses eco-friendly natural ingredients with no harmful chemicals or additives. It’s safe for concrete and is 0% corrosive or messy unlike its alternatives—sand and kitty litter.

Dress Appropriately.
When you are outdoors, it’s always a good idea to dress in layers and wear something that covers your legs and feet. If you don’t have boots with good traction, consider wearing grippy shoes or other footwear that will give you good footing on slippery surfaces. Gloves can also help keep your hands warm and make it easier to hold onto things like ice scrapers if needed. You may want to consider tucking your pants into socks or rolling them up so they don’t get wet from snow and ice melting off of them as you walk around outside during the winter months.
How To Walk On Ice
Take short steps. Longer steps can cause you to lose your balance, which is dangerous on slippery surfaces. You may be tempted to take larger strides to keep your momentum up – but this can actually be more dangerous than taking smaller, more measured steps. Keep in mind: the less distance your foot travels before hitting the ground again, the better your traction will be!
