Pair of wooly socks over the top of your shoes works

That presents its own hazards. 🐕

I know but I'd rather step in dog poo than break a bone.  I did that once on my own drive.

I got some of these when they first came out

Wow, "ice cleats" first "came out" at the time of the vikings. 🙂

Why not put grit or salt down on the paths? Make it safer for everyone.

I've lived on steep hills all my life, Gleadless road, East bank Road and I now live up another steep hill near Hunters Bar. I always park the car at the bottom when there's any sign or warning of snow, or at least somewhere flat. Getting up and down I just ensure to have some good boots on, I go walking often and they seem to provide enough grip. If it's icy it can be tricky if there's no railings to hold on to you just have to wing it really but if you have a decent set of neighbours who grit the front of their houses you should be able to dodge the bits in between!
