We were very pleased and happy in the beginning, walking was easier here in the Michigan U.P. until one of the coils worked loose, caught on my husbands other "ice grip" and tripped him, tearing that one also. We only had them a few weeks, wish they lasted longer as they did make give me more confidence walking. But after he fell flat on his face, I'm a little uneasy wearing them. 2 stars The following review received 6 helpful votes out of 6 total votes: Review Date: 2007-03-08 "No-slip" Folks that walk on hardpack snow and ice in driveways and on sidewalks need these. Just enough bite to stop slipping. Not obtrusive or clunky when walking, even on clear surfaces. ONLY slipperinesss with them ON occurs if you leave them on and walk on ceramic tile INdoors. (Duh.) 5 stars The following review received 6 helpful votes out of 6 total votes: Review Date: 2007-03-09 "One good thing" in an othewise mighty cold first year in Ohio after moving here from Calif. Snow, sleet, ice - nothing could stop me (or my wife) when we slipped the yaktrax over our admittedly wimpy warm weather shoes. Even tromping up and down our 45 degree slope driveway covered in ice at 9 degrees was slipless.

I run a high mountain camp and have tried many ice traction devises. In icy conditions, CAUTION, is always the most important factor, no matter what the devise. In walking indoors all devises can be hazardous, it depends on the care you use while walking. My staff and I have used Yaktrax's for years. For inside staff, regular Yaktrax's are the best. They put them on to walk from their cabin or car to the office and pop them off once inside. For my outside staff, the Yaktrax Pro's can't be beat. They are rugged and don't ware out. The strap over the front of the boot keeps them in place in most situations. When coming inside it is best and easiest to slip the boots off and to step into indoor shoes. For long Life - take a little time - when putting "Trax's" on, make sure they slip into the grooves in the soles of the boots and if the end of a spring starts to catch, use a pair of pliers to squeeze it back into place. The Yaktrax Pro's I have on now have lasted me for three years and counting. 5 stars The following review received 3 helpful votes out of 3 total votes: Review Date: 2007-03-17 "Excellent on ice!" I got these so that I wouldn't fall on the ice this winter. They work perfectly! They are easy to put on too. 5 stars | |
