The lugs on my leather work boot soles had worn down to smooth. The leather was fine and was Snowseal treated so I didn't want to toss them. I siped the bottoms of the soles on the table saw with a thin kerf blade. I cut shallow kerfs about every 1/2".
I do a lot of brisk walking in the winter and for the past week we've had unseasonably icy snowy conditions here. The siping really works. I didn't even have to put on my Yaktrax cleats at all!
Before siping on wet floors they slipped like ice skates. Now they really grip:)
