Can I get some kind of cover or something for the soles of walking boots so I don't slip on icy pavements?

Yes. You should be able to get them in shoe shops or sports shops. There are different types, here are some examples: http://www.sportogfiske.no/subcategory/6553/6634.html
I am very bad at walking on ice, so I use them a lot.

Take baby steps. That's the best way to stay upright on ice.

Otherwise:

Mountaineering crampons seem a little excessive for the pavement. 🙂 As for baby steps, that's good advice, but if it's stormy and/or the ground is not flat, it's still difficult to keep your balance and get where you want.

These seem a little less extreme. And a lot cheaper too.

Darvlay knows some great lotions for applying on your bum. He recommended me some and I haven't look back since.

Wrap some chains around your boots, like the ones you put on your truck tires.

Be a man. If you need boots, go to a feedlot and kick two bulls in the ass, then walk away. 😠

Feed lots don't have bulls....😕

Steers maybe, but not bulls.

Good point. Kick two steers in the ass and walk away.
Or go to the Village and kick two queers...

I'm happy to say, I have no clue what a "feed lot" is.

EDIT: I'm guessing it's somewhere you take animals to feed them. Or maybe a place where you buy food for animals.

It's where they fence in and feed cattle. I thought you were a cowboy? 😕

LOL Cowboys make me angry. How do cattle hold fencing foils? It hardly seems like a fair fight.
