ヤクトラックス・プロ スノー&アイスウォーカー M [並行輸入品]

I find the Yak Trax product to be the best of all that are available. Easy to install, light and very durable. What with the salt used on the sidewalks today the rubber will eventually breakdown but mine lasted five years before this happened. Although I bought another pair I was able to repair the old ones with some bicycle tire tubing and Shoo Goo. A bit more expensive than some but what are your bones worth?

Per uso leggero sono per me, che ho problemi neuropatici, una manna. E, molto importante, non disturbano nella guida. Attenzione sulle piastrelle a non scivolare.

Trouble free transaction. Grips look OK and have good reviews but we wont get to try out for a month or two.

My first winter in a state where snow exists, I tried to walk around with running shoes, and about faceplanted four or five times. After that, I did some research and Yaktrax constantly came up as a solution. After an entire winter of walking to work and being oblivious to traction requirements (along with one instance of winter hiking), I would heartily recommend these. Unless you're stepping on sheer ice, you can walk anywhere with near impunity. They slip a little when your toe comes off the ground and you move forward to transfer weight to your other foot, but it's immaterial because that foot isn't supporting weight at that point. They are fantastic for walking in snow/ice. I would caution against using them for jogging/running, for the very reason above. They have no serious tip of the toe traction, so they will often slip on that motion. Not a problem when walking (other foot has got you covered) but when running you spend some time in the air not supported by either foot, and a slip there can cause a drastic loss of balance. Yaktrax does make running specific ones, but I cannot vouch for their efficacy. If you use them regularly, these will last slightly less than a season. The metal coils wear down surprisingly quickly, but this is somewhat true of any product that you put your full weight on all the time. By the end of winter I was crimping and bending the busted coils with pliers to make them last until spring/summer. If you live in a perpetually snowbound area, they may not even make it through half of winter... so get two pairs. The irony of Yaktrax is that while they increase your traction on many surfaces (concrete, snow, ice, etc.) they drastically reduce it on several indoor surfaces. On tile I have had to brace myself on one or two walls to prevent crashing to the ground. Works well enough on carpet, but after wear hits the coils, they will snag and stick in the carpet, making it even worse to walk on. Bring another pair of shoes to use for indoor use, or be prepared to take the Yaktrax off and on repeatedly. They are not easy to quickly remove or add to shoes (unless you are more nimble than me and that is a very low bar). The short version is: Do you live in a place where winter occurs in short intervals? These will work well. Do you live in a place where Winter is a constant fact of life? You probably already have a solution. Either way, if you can afford the expense (and they're not that pricey), you can stroll around during Winter with impunity.

At first I was concerned because people have mentioned these types of devices have a tendancy to roll to the side making them less effective. The addition of the strap to go over the shoe appears to address this issue. The few kilometres I've walked in them while walking my dog work wonderfully. The coils instead of spikes makes me feel more comfortable knowing if I accidentally clip a paw by stepping on it it will not cause additional trama. The sound is a little crunchier than I expected, however they are doing a great job preventing me from slipping on uneven icy surfaces on our sidewalks and streets.
