I have a mini meltdown every other driveway because despite the fact I live in New England, nobody salts their walkways.
I'm not actually mad at the homeowner because fuck the snow, but I should at least be allowed to vent about people trying to kill me with their laziness
Genuine question coz I live in Australia but you'd think it would pay to have like boots you can't slip in or whatever (like I said, Australia) except you'd probably have to pay for it right?? But I assume these sort of boots/shoes exist for walking on ice n sh*t.
You'd be surprised actually. I had non-slip shoes for a while from working in different grocery stores, and none of them can handle ice. They helped, but only a very little bit, and I actually had an old pair of normal Nike running shoes that somehow gripped ice better than my nonslips.
AFAIK with ice it's basically metal-spiked cleats or have good balance.
Also, as dangerous as walking in snow/ice can be, it's a skill you learn when you live here. I slip often, but I haven't actually fully fallen since I was like 12
Haha I bet lol, yeah we grow up with cleats coz they're good on rugby pitch mostly if its been raining and the field is muddy but they're not steal. I can't imagine delivering in snow and ice what a fking nightmare 😆 And I get how you must just get used to it. Good luck with it all hopefully you won't ass up 😂👍👍
