There are many different types of snow chains. Do you have to have typical snow chains or can you get ones that just strap on at a couple of places just for show that you have something.
When I was a kid we would tie burlap bags over our boots when things where icy. Now I have a box to store socks that turn religious. If I think will need to walk on ice or packed snow I pull them over shoes so under ball of foot. Both help with traction when walking.
I have seen what they call socks that fit over tires. Might not help as much as chains, but less likely to do the damage chains can.
