Default Roofing - non slip footwear?

Any recommendations for an inexpensive way to give shoes/trainers better
grip/non-slip on slate roofs.

Something to apply to older footwear would be best, temporary or

permanent.



Correct footwear is best worn when you're climbing on proper roof ladders
and frames. Your shoes should not to be relied upon when the roof itself is
slippery, wet or covered in moss.

Some roofs are not meant to be walked on, and some are far to steep to allow
you to walk on the slope. So you're so much safer to rely on a proper roof
ladder than just your footwear.
