Walking/Hiking Answers: Slippery Boots

Got an answer to the following question?

Slippery Boots

Hi, I've just purchased some Karrimor KSB 300, Gortex boots.

They fit fantastic as I have a wide foot and unlike the Burghaus range that I tried, have a UK last and not a european one.

The only problem I've found with them is that in the 3 times I've worn them I've find they slip on wet/damp/rock.

Is this common? - or do they require some kind of scrubbing up?

They are supposed to be this special 'rubber' but I'm concerned as that sounds a bit 'French!!!' (only kidding).

Any help would be appreciated, cheers.
