Yaktrax Winter Traverse Traction Pull-Ons (For Men and Women)

I've had several pair. Would definitely recommend for hard pack snow and icy conditions.

This a wonderful help in icy conditions. I am extremely clumsy and these Yaktrax enable me to walk across an icy parking lot with ease; no falls!

We have a cabin in South Lake Tahoe,CA and have used YakTrax for 8+ years. They were a gift to us. We feel very safe walking up and down our sloped driveway with snow and/or icey conditions. I purchase extra yaks when they are on sale, just to have for other guests at our cabin. This last pair I purchesed for a family member in an area that doesn't get snow often and was worried about the slippery sidewalks. They loved them. I have told numerous friends and family about them.

A good idea to use in icy and snowy weather especially for the elderly and for those with special needs.

this is the best winter product going. I have used them for years to hike and walk around town for hours in snow and ice. This year I bought them for all 31 employees.... no more falls.

makes walking on icy trail much easyer

Yaktrax are a basic must around town for that southern ice storm, but are also good in the northern mountains for a quick light trip where you don't want to carry all that technical gear, but have a little bit of compact snow or ice you need to cross / ascend. Don't get caught on the ice without one.

I was famililar with this product because a friend loaned some to me and my wife about a year ago. It was very important for my wife because she already had a broken leg from slipping on ice. There was wet sleety ice when we arrived for a visit, and the product was invaluable. When I spotted them in the catalog, I bought a pair for every member of my family. I'm glad that I paid attention to sizing because putting on a too small pair would probably be difficult. When they arrived, they are neatly folded, one inside the other. I've got pretty strong hands, but I found undoing this to be a challenge. Fortunately one only has to do this once. I also found that it was not easy to figure out which part goes in the front. Note: the rectangular tab goes by the heel. A little line drawing would have been nice. By coincidence, I got to test mine the day after they arrived. Once I figured out the problems I mentioned, I went out into the ice storm with confidence. They worked great. I wish my wife would have had some before she broke her leg. She felt secure with the loaners even while she was recouperating. That sold me.

These are the best ice grippers I have found, and I have had a few living in New England. Very easy to put on and THEY STAY PUT. Fit is good, sole is well covered and unlike the spiked pair I had last I dont feel the traction apparatus through my shoe/sneaker. Bought some for my spouse to run in and they work well. Even got a pair for my mother-in-law who likes them...now thats saying something.

Great product to keep in your pack just in case. Light weight and can handle some mixed conditions but be warned that they will not hold up to extended hikes on rock.
