Very steep slope

[Lawnboy18]

I have a very steep portion of my lawn, I have slipped several times going down hill. I really need better traction with my shoes. Are there any other shoes than golf shoes that will give me the traction I need. Problem is I do not golf. I probably need to go to some kind of a boot. Just looking for suggestions. Here is a video of the hill side and my mowing techniques. Going at an angle is much easier. I have a dura-force lawn boy that does much better with the slope than the M-series in this video.

Go the other way. It is also safer. If you slip, the handle will smack you in the face or knock your theeth off.

The manuals tell you to start at the bottom of the slope and mow across the slope moving or turning up the slope for the next pass. Never mow up and down a slope because you can lose control.
