As part of our “Stand Tall, Don’t Fall” campaign, we’re sharing key tips for choosing the best winter footwear to keep you safe and steady on your feet.

When selecting winter shoes, focusing on the tread is crucial for safety and stability. Look for soles with deep, multi-directional lugs that can grip slippery surfaces like snow and ice. A rubber compound that stays flexible in cold weather will help maintain traction, even in freezing temperatures. Shoes with a textured, zigzag, or wave pattern offer better footing by channeling water away from the sole, reducing the likelihood of slipping.

The right tread design can make a big difference in how securely you move through winter conditions. Together, we can make the campus safer during this rainy season by preventing slips and falls!
