YaktraxWalker Traction Cleats for Snow and Ice, Black, Small

I fell on the ice 5 years ago and really hurt my knee. After that I was very scared of ice. I saw these and decided to give them a try. I had the same pair for 3 years and they were awesome. They are great for walking in snow and ice. The only thing that bothers me about them is I have to carry an extra pair of shoes around with me if i am planning to go inside anywhere. These are super slick on hard indoor floors, but seem to do fine on concrete outdoors. They aren't really easy to take on and off so i have adjusted to carrying slip on shoes with me throughout the winter.Last winter i noticed one of the rubber bands that holds the coils broke. It didn't seem to make a huge difference and it was at the end of winter so i decided to go ahead and wear them and just get new ones for the following winter. That was a mistake. I ended up catching the broken rubber weird when i was stepping off the pourch and I fell. 5 months later i finally healed from the completely torn ligaments in my ankle that fall caused.Moral of the story: GREAT PRODUCT. I don't fear walking outside at all, Don't try to walk on hard flooring, and if they break buy a new pair they aren't that expensive. Don't be stupid like me and try and use them when they are broken and end up with another injury.I did get a new pair for this winter and they are still great. I love them. I expect them to last me around 3 winters like the last pair did. I'm a huge spokesperson for them and are always telling people i work with and my family about them.If you are somewhat clumsy or if you just want extra help walking on the ice or in the snow get these. You won't regret it.

A few years ago I bought a set of the studded type from Walmart and they were like ice skates on hard wet concrete, didn't do much on packed snow and were liking cocking a crossbow trying to get them on.Based on reviews I bought 5 pairs of these for stocking stuffers and don't regret it one bit. Not everyone has used them, but those that have love them.My driveway is a hill and since we own a Jeep Wrangler I don't always shovel it, so the packed tracks become extremely slick, but with these I can carry the recycle bin / trash bags down without falling and busting my. . . coccyx.Based on the other reviews I ordered a medium for myself, even though I only wear a Mens 7 1/2 W and I don't have to struggle to put them on and they've never fallen off.

They work great, but they do slip off some shoes easily. I'm still glad I bought them. I have no traction for ice otherwise.

I bought these trackers because I'd been "borrowing" my husband's Yaktrax to wear on my boots when I walked the dog in heavy snow and ice, and they worked but were too large for me. Now I've got my own pair, and am very happy that they fit perfectly and give me a sense of security walking on snow and ice. They are very easy to put on and take off, and pack up compactly when not in use.

I fall...a lot... these are the most amazing cleats, easy to put on and take off, can walk on all kinds of ice and snow (from the midwest, I know snow!) and inexpensive. Two cautions: Take them off when you get inside, they are slippery on shiny linoleum, and take off when you drive, they can catch on the edge of the gas pedal. I recommend them to all my friends!
