Stop slippy soles!

I have some boots which I love madly, but they were from a cheapy shop, and thus the soles are made of shitty plastic and slippy as all hell.
I've been trying to deal with it, but today I was walking a bit too fast, slipped again and fell over. So not only did I look a prize twat, I also connected knees and concrete and hurt myself
Sob story over, it's becoming a bit of a health and safety nightmare. Can I un-slippy my soles?

As will rubbing with sandpaper
Thanks, that seems like it could work.
Is it a DIY job, or do you need to take them to the cobblers? Do they even have cobblers anymore? God, I'm so undereducated about shoes. I've been living in trainers since I left school!
They do still have them, although it's been a while since I've heard them called that! Same place where you can generally get keys cut and women have broken heels fixed on their shoes Think it cost me £12 for last pair of shoes I had done.
He will resole any shoes and I get all my winter boots and shoes done there because they always refuse at the "high street" places, say "nowt can be done love, chuck 'em out". He's a star. Shady-looking backstreet places are the best bet... and less than half the price :thumb:
Thank you :yippe:
Nowt to stop me wandering back up, though! I shall try Mr Merrion Man if I can't locate anything suitable in the vicinity. Ta
