YakTraxWalk Ice & Snow Grips For Walking Shoes, Elastic Rubber Strap & 1.2mm Steel Coils, Provides Traction In Ice & Snow

* PhysicalI love walking. Been exercising this way for over a decade. And I have lost a huge amount of weight with an intermittent diet. My sister noted I was frustrated with the slippy paths. And staying indoors to keep safe. She put me on ice grips. I decided to look in Amazon's databases for a good solution. I was taken aback when they arrived as I thought it was just one grip. These grips are made in France. They look and feel lightweight. They are not under-engineered. If you've bought the correct size they will fit your footwear. I have a cross of walking boots and trainers. These grips fit well and seem secure on my boots. I have taken several shorter walks to try them out, and these give great traction and inspire confidence when outside in the cold weather. You still need to walk flat-footed, shorter than your normal stride, and both slowly and carefully. I checked with my family members and my uncle texted me back and he has the same model. They have lasted him for winter weather after winter weather. There is a Pro version available on the Yaktrak store, if you are contemplating serious expeditions in the snow and ice at around £33

In the end we didn’t use these when we bought them for a recent holiday. However, was really impressed with the quality and fit of these when they arrived so decided to keep them for future use. Probably won’t need to use the regularly, but in the event we do they slip really easily over boots and shoes - therefore giving extra stability in icy conditions. Definitely a better to have it and not always need it rather than need it and not have it kind of order!!

Thankfully, the size small fits tightly under sole and over front toe and heel to rear of my size 6 walking boots. However, I'd suggest next size up for a size 7 boot. I've not worn out yet as the snow/ice has dissolved. However, I'm sure they'll secure my walks during icy weather. Hoping they are durable and last for quite a few winters as they weren't cheap.

On the ice, these are very effective at keeping you steady and giving grip and they are well worth the money. They’re surprisingly easy to get on but you might want to refer to the pictures on the packaging first to determine the front from back ends. Once on, they’re extremely comfortable to the point that you won’t even notice they’re on.The snow is a slightly different story. The snow tends to get packed in between springs and gaps to the point that your shoe feels quite heavy. Micro spikes or longer would be a better bet there.

These yaktrax are good for snow and ice but not as good as the heavy duty model but do what they do very well. I got size small witch didnt fit my shoas but oh well.

These do work to a point, but for some reason one of them kept on coming off of my footwear.

Brilliant grip on the ice, made me feel safe walking down the hill on the school run. Easy to fit to footwear. It’s easier to fit grips to shoes/boots first before putting your shoes on. Would highly recommend

Purchased 2 sets for our recent week long trip to Iceland (November). Easy to fit onto boots and easy to remove. Grip on ice and snow was fantastic for general sight seeing. Used them loads. Really serious glacier walks and hikes probably better with the chains and spike type but for everyday these are perfect.
