Amazon.com Product Description
Looking for an easy-to-use, lightweight traction device for your shoes? Turn to the spikeless Yaktrax Walker traction cleats, which offer 10 times the gripping points as any spike-based traction device. Ideal for pedestrians, the elderly, businesspeople, or anyone else who wants greater stability on ice and snow, the Yaktrax Walkers are terrific for walking to and from work, school, or even the mailbox down the street. (Mountain climbers should consider the Yaktrax Pro cleats, which are designed for more arduous conditions.) Each Yaktrax Walker is made out of an injection-molded thermal plastic elastomer that's lightweight yet durable. The coils are also protected against rusting, with a hand-wound design that provides 360 degrees of traction on ice and snow. Every step you take in the Yaktrax Walker places hundreds of biting edges in direct contact with the ice beneath your feet, with the high-strength horizontal coils providing forward and backward stability while the vertical coil pattern provides side-to-side stability. And thanks to the sturdy outerband--which conforms to the length and width of your boot or shoe--the cleats fit securely throughout the day but slip off in an instant. Suitable for temperatures as low as -41 degrees F, the Yaktrax Walkers have been approved and recommended by the National Health & Wellness Club and the Handyman Club of America. The Yaktrax Walkers are available in extra-small, small, medium, and large sizes.

These are Awesome.... Period! February 6, 2007
Dude (Easy St. CA)

I am a pretty tough grader on stuff like this and have nothing to lose or gain in any of my reviews. We have had a lot of snow and subsequent ice in our area over the last month. My street and drive are ice covered at least 1-2 inches thick and then it melts on top of the ice and it is impossible to stand up. I purchased the Yaktrax and let me tell you, they are worth every penny. I did not get the Pro model because I didn't know if I would like them. When I first got them I tied to go for a walk down the driveway with my regular New Balance running shoes (no Yaktrax) and could barely stand up... Kept sliding without even walking. Went back in the house and put the Yaktrax over my running shoes and went back outside. I was able to walk across the ice like it wasn't even there. I felt like I probably could run on the ice if I wanted, but didn't want to push it. I don't know how the Yaktrax will be in deep snow, but then you probably wouldn't need them there anyway. But on ice, they are super! I read some previous reviews that said they had problems with breakage. I make sure that the rubber bands are pulled high up onto the shoe and try to have the rubber bands on the bottom go between any grooves that I have on the bottom of the shoe. This is a long winded review to a low cost item but I wanted to make sure it gets the review that it deserves.
Yaktrax's are the best October 26, 2008

Yaktrax's are unbeatable. They give the greatest traction in all icy conditions. 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.

I live in the mountains in Northern California where we have ice and snow all winter. I wouldn't dream of taking my dog on her daily walks without my Yaktrax.
No-slip March 8, 2007

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.)
These are a must if you can't afford a fall on the ice. January 1, 2009

I walk with a cane, which is equipped with an ice cleat as well. I have a very bad back which causes me constant pain. Falling on the ice is something that can and has in the past required me to spend time recovering in the hospital. I had often simply stayed home-bound until ice melted because of my fear of falling until I found these shoe cleats.
They are something I simply can not live without now. I live in Indiana which is subject to frequent ice storms. The area is often covered in a uniform layer of very slick ice that is impossible to walk on for a person in good shape, let alone me.
Since finding these Yaktrax Walker Traction Cleats, I am able to check my mail, drive carefully to the store and go on and live my life normally without the constant fear of slipping and falling on the ice during the winter. They have given me back the freedom that I lost in the work accident that disabled me. If this all seems a bit much, well I guess it might be but if you had the same trouble walking that I do...
If you live in an area prone to slippery ice patches, you should have a pair of these on your shoes. They go on and are remove easily, don't mar a floor and give you a sure footing on a slippery surface. I can't imagine a better product for basic, winter outdoor safety.
