It’s not just the jolly colours of the Nordic Grip Wets that make them great winter footwear in the garden or out and about, it’s the patented IceLock non-slip technology that was originally developed by the South Korean military to ensure they stayed on their feet in icy conditions. Apparently the rubber compound sole contains micro-glass filaments that are electrostatically aligned to give grip and traction. They also happen to be waterproof, fleece lined, and very easy to put on and take off. They are also incredibly comfortable, so much so that when my pair arrived I wore them round the house for an entire afternoon until persuaded that it did look slightly eccentric. Nordic Grips are available in 5 colours for £44.95 from www.cuckooland.com
