By the watergirl from Crestline, CA on 10/30/2009 Pros: Great Grip, Lightweight Best Uses: Alpine Routes, Heavy Snow, Mixed Routes Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Works very well even on icy surfaces. I have used my previous pair for 3 seasons now. I just joined the wire together in the areas where the rubber seems to break to make them last longer. Also, I attach the yaktrak to my boots by a tie, so they can be easily removed yet still be attached to my boots for easy transportation when large sections of the road have to snow.
Great but get the right size By C in MA from Boston MA on 10/30/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Put On And Adjust, Great Grip, Lightweight, Versatile Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sizing: Feels full size too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I inherited a size L pair and they worked great for years, but when they broke and I bought size S (which should fit my women's 10 shoes), I could not get them on my shoes. This is a super product, but the sizing is off. Way off.
Great for casual use; hard to put on By Dog walker from Spokane, WA on 10/30/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Great Grip, Lightweight, Versatile Best Uses: Snow and ice in town Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have used been using Yaktrax for two years for fitness walking, walking the dogs, and for getting from the office to my car when ice and compact snow make walking hazardous.
Yaktrax provide good traction on ice and compact snow. They do not always stay on under hard use, but they are o.k. for casual walking on sidewalks, trails, or along roads. They are great for getting around town when it is icy.
They can be difficult to put on and off, and putting them on requires sitting down and working with them for a few minutes. Stretching them over shoes or boots takes quite a bit of strength, and the shoe must be seated perfectly or they will slip off the shoe while walking. Once properly seated they are quite secure. They hold up to heavy use quite well unless a sharp rock nicks the rubber. Once the rubber webs gets even a small cut they will soon break under use.
One plus that partially compensates for difficulties putting them on (which can discourage their use) is that they are compact enough to fit in a jacket pocket, so they are likely to be readily at hand when needed. I keep a pair in each of my winter coats so they are always available when needed.
By dd from Los Angeles, CA on 10/30/2009 Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Purchased a pair for Mom & Dad in their 70s and have to deal with icy winters. Good investment for fall prevention outside. Always wanted to try these but I don't get weather here! Great purchase.
