Yaktrax Pro 8005 M SkidLock Overshoe Walker High Strength Steel Coil/Natural Rubber Webbing Black

I wear these hiking on ice and snow up and down hills in the woods. They pretty much do the job but I still need to be careful on ice going down hill. That is why I only gave them 4 stars.

These traction control shoe addons were bought to replace a pair my mother has worn for a few years. One of the rubber straps on the old pair had given out. Mom was happy with the old pair, the new ones are fine. Mother lives a quarter mile off the road, the driveway gets pretty slick in the winter. She wares these on her winter boots everyday for her trek to the mailbox. This is a good, well made product, it preforms as advertised.

My husband and I received our Yaktrax for Christmas and because our weather held out we were able to walk almost every day at a park. We walked on snow and ice and blacktop. My husbands only lasted about a month. Mine broke soon after. So, we love them, just wish they lasted longer!

I live in the foot hills of the Adirondack Mountains and our access road is usually ice covered from mid December until late March. Two years ago, I was walking on the ice, in a rush and didn't put on my Yak Trax which resulted in a fall the resulted in a fractured rib. Not only do I wear them now, I got a pair for my wife. If you live in the North and deal with a lot of ice, they're worth every penny.

I purchased them last year for walking in the park. They work wonderful. I only issue is getting them on. Not sure, if it because I am so bundled up. I like them and have recommended them to other people.
