Product Description

Yaktrax Walk Traction Cleats are lightweight, affordable, and easy to put on and take off, making them a simple solution for reducing the risk of falls when walking on snow and ice to work, school, or even to the mailbox. A highly elastic outer band and a tab on the heel help the cleats slip easily on and off of shoes, making Walk Traction Cleats perfect for pedestrians, professionals and the elderly. Traction is provided by abrasion-resistant 1.2 mm steel coils that are coated with zinc to help prevent rust. The shaped edge of the coils provide 360 degrees of traction on cold surfaces for all-direction stability. Yaktrax Walk Traction Cleats are tested safe from breakage in temperatures as low as -41 degrees F. They are available in four sizes to fit most shoes: Extra-small for petite sizes (fits shoe size W2.5-6/M1-4.5); Small (fits shoe size W6.5-10, M5-8.5); Medium (fits shoe size W10.5-12.5, M9-11); Large (fits shoe size W13-15, M11.5-13.5). For oversized shoes or boots, Yaktrax recommends purchasing one size larger than your normal shoe size.

Amazing Product !
I walk 2 Rowdy Westie's and have taken a tumble or two...So when I ordered YakTrax I was a bit skeptical.But I am here to say that without this productI would not have been able to walk the icy streets of our recent snowfall.The grip and safety of this product is over whelming.I went and bought 3 more pairs to give to my fellow dog walkers.Needless to say we are on our way to feeling secure and safe in any snowy or icy conditions.Run to your computer and order immediately...Not a second to waste :)

I bought these traction cleats to be able to navigate after an ice storm that made walking and driving treacherous for several days. They provided great security in conditions in which deeply lugged hiking shoes and boots were useless. They slip on and off easily but do not slip off during walking.
My only caveat would be: Don't inadvertently wear these indoors on any form of carpeted floor. The wire coils can catch on rug fibers and be pulled loose or broken. If you put them on and remove them at the door, they work great for their intended purpose.

I have anxiety about falling down due to slipping on ice (because I broke my arm just walking down the street, when I slipped). These are the absolute best deterrent! Of course, one should still be careful! They fit easily over my shoes and boots and won’t scratch up floors, but best not to wear them indoors. I’m completely satisfied with this product, I’ve had one pair for over a year, which is still in great shape. I purchased this set to keep in my car, just in case! Great value for peace of mind.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great alterative to expensive/sharp cramp-ons, but don't last long
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2024
Style: 1 PairSize: MediumVerified Purchase
We recently traveled to Iceland during the winter and these were absolutely invaluable -- from hiking to just walking around town, our Yaktrax kept us stable and upright. We both fell down at different times when we weren't wearing them. As long as we had these on our feet, we were both as stable and comfortable as could be.

The only issue we both faced was longevity. Toward the end of our week-long trip, both our pairs of Yaktrax started to break apart. My wife's completely disappeared on a return hike from a glacier overlook, and mine broke apart and wrapped around my ankles during a hike to a hotsprings. We were able to find a local store that carried them for quick replacements for the last day of our trip, but it was disappointing they didn't last and failed so suddenly and catastrophically.

These are a great alternative to heavier spike cramp-ons. They are easier and safer to pack and carry; and easier to put on and take off. However, the trade-off appears to be longevity. If you are going to rely on these for a trip, bring a backup pair!

Yaktrax have been a staple in my car/bag during with the winter months. I have used them for years. They are easy to slip on over shoes, providing a secure fit that stays put. The traction they offer is great, giving confidence to walk across an icy parking lot without fear of slipping. My only minor complaints are that they can be a bit cumbersome after I reach my car and try to remove sitting in the driver seat and they wear out the second winter I use them, eventually breaking and requiring replacement. Overall, a highly recommended investment for anyone seeking enhanced traction and safety in icy conditions.

Style: 1 PairSize: MediumVerified Purchase
I've been a user of this product for decades. My old pair finally wore out (after 10+ years) and instead of looking at the new stuff, I went right back for the original.

Great price, they work great, and since this is a specialty product, getting them on Amazon in a day (thank you Prime) saved me from driving to an outdoors store.

Highly recommend this as they are easy to put on and take off your shoes, and they've offered me unparalleled traction over the years.

Huge fan of Yaktrax!

User note: do not wear these indoors, especially on tile. They are very slippery if they can't bite. It's great that they are so easy to put on and take off. When you get indoors, stop on your door mat and take them off.

3.0 out of 5 stars really great item
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2024
Style: 1 PairSize: SmallVerified Purchase
The reason I only give these three stars is that they broke after about walking ten times in then . The rubber and spring popped . Now I live at 8850 Ft but then again these are made for snow and ice.
When they where whole they where so wonderful . They give you so much stability am amazed that I had not tried them earlier. Been here for 40 years.
Even worked in several sport shops and sold them , just never tried them.
So I really loved these but think they should last at least a season.
Can't really afford to buy a new pair after ten walks. I walk my dogs every day sometimes twice. So they need to hold up.

Walks are so much easier now that I have these. They fit over my boots so nicely and work perfectly. The first wear it was hard to put them on but after a couple of uses they stretch out a bit and make it easier to put them on. I love that I can walk with confidence now on icy days. These seem very durable like they will last many years. I'm on my second winter with them now! They'd make a good gift too.
