Okay, so this is more of me ASKING how to do something, and I offer no instruction here really, so I hope this is the proper place for this post. Anyways.. I got a pair of military combat boots. You may have seen the type before; no tags, shin high, steel toe, FLAT FUCKING GRIP-LESS SOLE. They slip all over any smooth linoleum, ice, smooth metal, anything smooth really. They have also caused me to slip off of a rung of a few ladders and hurt myself.
I hear that I could give these boots to a shoestore to have it done for like 40 bucks (yeah right), or to buy a resoling kit and do that, or to cut the tread off of an old (pre '50's) tire and glue it on, OR to just apply strips of glue to the sole to act as the grip itself.
I tried the just glue method and despite it being strong "shoe goo" or whatever, all the strips came off in a month.
If any of you have a good method please share.
Or am I just better of finding a different pair of boots?
