Yaktrax Pro Traction Cleats for Walking, Jogging, or Hiking on Snow and Ice, Small

I used these for years when I jogged over snow in the winter and they worked very well. Eventually, the rubber or coils broke. I switched to a heavier duty cleat for walking on icy roads but prefer the comfort of the YakTrax on slippery snow. I especially appreciate that they are not bulky and that they fit evenly over my foot.

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.

Used these in the Grand Canyon Bright Angel Trail a couple of weeks ago. They worked great in snowy and icy trails, we didn’t even realize how well they worked until we saw others without them moving at a snails pace! Felt very secure even on inclines. They did need to be occasionally adjusted but it was not a big deal, maybe once every hour-ish. They are easy to take off and put on if the terrain switches, and lightweight to carry and clip onto your pack without issues. Highly recommend.
