Woman shares 'best' hack for walking on slippery ice outdoors and avoiding falls
13.12.2022 - 17:47 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A woman has revealed how she keeps her balance walking on icy and slippery outdoor surfaces.
Scotland has been battered by temperatures well below freezing in the past few days, with some places even reaching lows of -15C. With the cold weather comes snow and ice, which can cause chaos on roads and pavements.
Ideally there would be enough grit to go around to make every slippery surface safe, but in case you need to venture out onto the ice, a woman has revealed a free hack for making sure you don't fall over.
The Mirror reports that mum-of-two Mel posted a video to TikTok sharing her unusual yet helpful hack, which has racked up over one million views.
Searching through the bottom of her drawers, the parent pulled out two old socks that are likely to go unused and put them to work with her genius hack.
Putting the socks over her shoes to increase her grip, the woman was pleased with her efforts as she was prepared to tackle the icy floors without the fear of slipping.
Captioning the post of her viral video, Mel wrote: "BEST (most needed) HACK atm in my opinion… socks worn over your shoes - to avoid slipping on the ice. Thank me later."
She described her hack as a "game-changer" as it meant she could walk freely on any slippery surface without the added risk of falling down.
In the comments, people were quick to praise Mel for sharing her tip - although some were concerned about how they'd look whilst doing it.
One person said: "I'm so on this...I live in Scotland am petrified of slipping I've had a few falls too... so thanks."
Another commented: "My grandma told me to do this years ago! Works a treat."
And a third chimed in: "I've always done this. Always get the looks but I ain't the one sliding haha."
