YAKTRAX Heavy Duty Traction Hiking Cleats, Durable Rubber Strap, Provides Traction In Ice & Snow, Black

I think... So far, so good? I decked it on the ice twice in one day, a few weeks ago so decided to order these Yaktrax grips. I've only worn them on the ice once or twice and didn't slip at all but, I confess, I was walking a bit more carefully after my falls anyway! So, I think they're pretty effective (they certainly didn't make things worse). It's still fairly early days but, so far, they seem pretty robust! Other than that, they take a little effort to put on but nothing crazy - just might need to use both hands. They fit really well (I'm size 9) and, so far, haven't dislodged themselves off my feet. So, yeah. Good first impressions!

A great addition to winter foot wear. Easily fitted and gives good grip on icy paths. Wears quite well but the rubber will perish after 2 or 3 years. Along with micro spikes it is a useful item in avoiding falls on icy paths

They work great as a temporary pocketable way to avoid slipping, put these on you to slip, just walk! But they're not a long day hike type item, the plastic breaks, if you carry some string (e.g. dymeena) as a self repair you can keep going. So long as you know that and use in that context it's a brilliant bit of kit. I use mine to walk to the shops for half a mile it's bliss to have no slipping and walk fast. Does sound like you're walking over eggshells.

These are amazing! With the recent heavy snowfall in the UK which where I live partially melted then refroze, turning the paths and roads into sheets of black ice I took a punt on these. They have surpassed my expectation, even walking on solid black ice it was like I was walking on a normal surface no slippage at all amazing traction. Felt incredibly safe and secure! I will return to update in around 6 months, I’ve noticed other reviews talking about durability and the rubber breaking, I could imagine this with regular use, but it’s the nature of the beast if you want a secure fit it needs to stretch. If like me you just want these in the cupboard for the once in a blue moon with have bad snow and ice well worth it!!!!

Great, save for the fact they don't last long. Always took care fitting them to the shoes, such that any unprotected sections were placed into the recesses in the sole of the shoe. After about 40 lm walking, the rubber split apart anyway in a different location. Previously broken a set of WinterTrax and bought these as a replacement. I think they are fine for walking infrequent, short distances but for regular longer walks in snowy and icy conditions, they are not up to par.

Secure fit and really good grip on ice. They're very durable, I bought these as a replacement not because they wore or got damaged but because I lost one. They are very good value. I wore them while gritting the car park and didn't lose my footing once. Word of advice: they are very slippy on tiled floors, and they don't make walking in the snow any easier. They only work on ice and they do this very well indeed.

Bought these for winter hiking. Reasonably easy to fit, and they transform normal walking boots. Make boots extra grippy in icy conditions. Less grip on tiled floors though, so you need to be careful if you wear them in shops etc. Not too fiddly to put on, but easy to put them on the wrong way round, eg heel on toe, so read the instructions.

These were purchased for a holiday north oof the Arctic circle, Tromso, Honnigsvaag etc. They do provide extra grip in icy or snowy conditions but they really are not easy to put on and off and when your in and out of places that dont allow spikes inside, its not ideal so we ended up not wearing them all the time!

Zastosowane sprężynki nie mają dobrych właściwości ,but się nadal ślizga ,są one odczuwalne pod podeszwą buta który przechyla się podczas chodzenia na boki .

Testé sur Romeufontaine 2016 40 km : impeccable ! Très bonne acroche sur neige tassée, sur neige glacée et sur neige de quelques cm. J'avais eu peu d'avoir pris une taille trop petite (du M = 41/43 sur une pointure 44.5) mais en fait pas du tout : bien tendues, elles n'ont pas bougé d'un poil en course. On ne sent pas qu'on a cette sur-épaisseur en courant (si bien que j'ai vérifié plusieurs fois en course si je les avais toujours !!), sauf sur le bitume où ce n'est pas très pratique car ça dérape un peu. N'apporte rien dans la poudreuse... mais à part les raquettes, je ne vois pas ce qu'on pourrait inventer... ;-)

I bought these cleats for my wife. She has used them 4 times and they are already falling apart.

Exactly what I was looking for to use for an upcoming trip.

Pros: - gran agarre sobre superficie helada, ya sea hielo o nieve - alta capacidad de movimiento, prácticamente como si no llevases nada - se pone y quita de forma rápida y sencilla Contras: - no es un crampón, llegado a determinados niveles de inclinación necesitaras un crampón - dependiendo del tipo de bota la sujeción puede ser mejor o peor, para paliar este problema recomiendo coger la menor talla posible para que el ajuste sea mayor y por tanto no se descoloque al caminar. En mi caso la talla escogida fue la M para un mondo point de 270. NOTA: Personalmente estoy muy satisfecho con su rendimiento en media montaña, tanto en nieve dura como en hielo sobre roca.
