Easy Winter Boot Hack: Make Any Boots Non-Slip With Glue and Salt?!

We all have that pair of boots that are totally not meant for winter, but I have a solution to make them wearable!

Follow along for a helpful boot hack that will save you when you’re putting together your winter outfits.

Tools and materials: 

• Boots
• Disposable container
• Nail glue 
• Coarse salt
• Paper napkin
• Toe warmers
• Fleece-lined leggings

I’m always getting inspired by outfits that I see online with boots, but the bottoms are often smooth, like this: 

In a cold environment, these are not wearable – you’re bound to slip and fall.

To create your non-slip boots for ladies, all you need is salt (coarse salt is best if you have it) and a container that you don’t mind ruining.

1. Clean your boots

Before beginning this boot hack, make sure that the boots are completely dry on the bottoms. If there’s any dirt, clean it off beforehand but make sure there’s no moisture.

2. Apply nail glue

Next up, apply nail glue in dots to the bottom of one of your boots. You can use super glue if you don’t have nail glue. 

Allow the glue to get a bit tacky before moving forward with this boot hack.

3. Dip in the salt

Pour salt into a container and then slowly dip the bottom of the boot into the salt. Hold the boot still, in the salt, for about 20 seconds.

4. Scrub off excess salt

Use a paper napkin to scrub off any excess salt.

5. Make your boots warmer

Now, to upgrade your winter boots outfit, let’s add some stick-on toe warmers. 

Once you’re ready to wear your boots, stick these on the bottoms of your socks.

6. Invest in fleece-lined leggings

Make your winter boots outfit even warmer by wearing some fleece-lined leggings.

They actually look just like pantyhose with your skin showing through a bit, but it’s actually just skin-toned fleece.

Here’s the final look for this boot hack: 

You won’t slip in your boots, and you can now wear a skirt when it’s cold outside without feeling uncomfortable!
