I heartily recommend proper winter boots for anyone that is worried about slipping. Not all boots are created equally, but the tread and rubber compound used for most winter boots can make a dramatic difference in grip while walking. For those who have never owned transportation in a cold climate: winter tires on vehicles make a big difference in traction. They channel and grip to snow and ice much better than the tread and rubber compound of a standard all-season tire. The same concept applies for winter footwear.
