I suppose I could have put another layer of tougher hide on the sole. They weren't so good in snow - not much grip! But they were actually warmer than I thought they would be.
You can get ground up recycled tires (crumbs) in Edmonton, tire recycling shop in west end. Mix tire crumbs with contact cement and put on the sole of your mocs. Let dry. If it wears off, just put more on. I have been using this on my Arrow Bush Boots for years, no issues in the bush. Provides traction on wet surfaces too.
MakwaMocassins on Etsy makes great, inexpensive mocs. He is out of Sudbury. Great guy!
