A game-changer sock hack helps in icy conditions – it may look silly but people claim you’ll never slip or fall over

WITH snow predicted across the UK this week, a handy hack may help you when walking on icy surfaces.

Using items that you already own, you can increase your grip on the cold mornings to come.

In her viral video, TikTok user Mel (@mels_family_life) showed her followers the DIY hack she swears by during freezing weather.

So if you’re worried about slipping and sliding on the icy ground, rest assured the solution can be found in your wardrobe.

And no, it’s not a pair of winter boots.

Mel recommends taking an old, preferably large, pair of thick socks and layering them over your shoes.

You can’t be worried about looking silly if you want this fashion trick to work.

By putting on the socks, you are creating friction between your feet and the ground.

So whether you’re walking on frost or ice, you won’t have to worry about slipping.

Mel demonstrated the simple technique with a pair of her husband’s old socks.

She described the hack as a “game changer” as she walked across her garden.

The TikToker added that the extra pair of socks were “the best hack ever.”

Mel explained that her area has already been covered in frost but the roads and paths had yet to be gritted.

This meant that her innovative trick was more needed than ever as she shared it with her audience.

TikTok users shared their own experiences with the technique in the comments section.

“I did it today but with matching socks, I didn’t slip either, thank God,” wrote one viewer.

“Perfect use for all those orphan socks, that the washing machine seems to create,” pointed out another follower.

How does thermal clothing keep you warm?

Thermal clothing keeps you warm by trapping air near your body and preventing heat loss. 

It’s made from materials like polyester, merino wool, fleece, or down that are good at insulating and wicking away moisture.

Trapping air

The fabric creates a layer of insulation by trapping air, which is a poor conductor of heat. This prevents heat from escaping through conduction, convection, and radiation. 

Wicking away moisture

Thermal clothing is breathable and absorbs sweat from your skin, which helps prevent you from getting damp and cold. 

Regulating body temperature

Thermal clothing keeps you warm in cold weather, but it’s also breathable enough to prevent overheating during physical activity. 

Design features

Some thermal clothing has panels or zones that provide extra warmth to areas like your chest, back, and knees

“OMG, thanks for this! I’m really scared of slipping after a bad fall recently. Going to try!” commented a third person.

“Yep, that’s what I was taught when I was a kid. Works like a charm,” said another TikTok user.

“Actually a stupidly fantastic idea. I nearly cracked my head open yesterday,” wrote one commenter.

“Good use for the one socks left over from the sock fairy.”

“I’m on it – I don’t care about weird looks! You’re a lifesaver as I was looking up ways just now on how not to slip as I always slip over!!!” said another person.
