Slip resistant solutions company shoe covers

Hey everyone,

Not sure where to drop this—doesn't really fit under hiking or fashion..

Anyway, I'm hunting for those slip resistant solutions company shoe covers you used to see at every corner drugstore, but now the ladies behind the counter just stare at me blankly when I try to explain what I need. I'm talking about this:
I already told my family out in California that I’d mail some to them, but since they're dealing with that winter wonderland down there, people are breaking bones left and right. Now I can't find them anywhere!! I saw some on eBay, but by the time they arrive, my relatives will all be in a body cast. 😉
Need help, fast and useful. Thanks!

It is far more cost-effective and practical to simply wrap some old socks around your shoes... sure, it looks absolutely ridiculous, but it works perfectly fine 🙏

Bikes on ice? What kind are we talking about here... thick tires, skinny ones, mounted the right way or upside down?

Well, that is absolutely the truth!🙄 🤣
You can just slide them right over your sneakers or dress shoes just like you would if they were on your bare feet😉

Just your standard cotton ones, presumably the kind everyone owns ten pairs of that just sit gathering dust in the back of the closet.😬 A bit thicker than average (not those flimsy ankle socks, for heaven's sake), worn the normal way so the heavier fabric is what actually makes contact with the ice or snow...

Thanks for the tip. It’s good someone brought that up, though I can't imagine anyone actually being unaware of that old trick... I use them myself, but I think there's a massive difference depending on whether you're walking on flat ground or dealing with hills. Yeah, they grip better than some bulky ankle brace, but nothing compares to those mini studs. Besides, San Francisco is all hills, so people there need something that actually works reliably.
As for the savings, I know you could have picked these up at a gas station for maybe 20-$10 a few years back. It's not exactly an investment worth skipping out on 😉

Can we get back to my question? Does anyone know where I can pick up an Anti-kliz slip resistant solutions company shoe cover?

There’s a shoe attachment at the transit stop near Badalich's (just before Times Square) that does something similar. It isn't quite as sleek, but you can just slip it over a regular shoe to prevent slipping. 🤷

Whatever, who cares if it looks classy? As long as it actually works. 😉

Cheers! 🙂
