Summary: They are for shoes like chains are for tires!
Comment: I love these YakTrax! You still need to be cautious when you're out walking in the winter, but you're a lot more sure of NOT falling down unless you are just on sheer ice. I bought five pair for Christmas gifts, and have gotten very grateful responses, as we have been having a very snowy, icy winter here.

Summary: Yaktrax a must have for slippery surfaces
Comment: I bought a pair of these years ago after just about slipping off the edge of a cliff on a winter hike. I was so impressed with their ease of use and performance that I bought this pair for my fiancee. She's just as impressed with them as I am. If you need some extra grip on an icy surface, Yaktrax will not disappoint.

Summary: Great for getting around on ice!!!
Comment: This was a gift for my 73 year old Mother and she was blown away on how well they work. She likes to keep in shape in the winter and walks outside so the YakTrax were the ideal gift for her so she feels more stable walking on ice and snow. Now I want to get a pair.
Great product and would suggest it to anyone.

Summary: almost perfect, but not quite.
Comment: I bought these yaktrax last winter on sale after all the snow had fallen. this year, I was excited to try them out. I tried these out in packed snow, fluffy snow, nearly 'dry' slush, wet slush & uphill on flat ice. first, do not bother with these on new, fresh, fluffy snow. I didn't think these cleats could be clogged with the wide diamond design, but they can & will to the point where you feel you have minimal or no traction. this is also true of dry slush/driven snow, but not quite as bad. walking though wet slush may clog your cleats insignificantly but some stability may still be lost here. depending on the size of your shoe & placement of the coils, you may feel as if your walking across an uneven surface. walking on ice will still be tricky but I do feel the metal coils dug in or at least scratched into the surface to provide me with SOME traction. I found the icy uphill walk to be slightly less difficult then the same walk without the yaktrax. on packed snow, like what you might see on your front steps, these this will work at their best.
over all, if your mindful of where your going and what's out there, these will HELP you get there without slipping. they will not prevent you from slipping.
if you typically wear nike shox, you may want to wear these with a different sneaker. I feel your stability in wet slush & in general would be improved with a wider heel. I wore my yaktrax mostly in a pair of nike shox... so your review may differ slightly from mine.
I gave the yaktrax cleat 4 stars based mostly on it's performance in packed snow and on ice. when it comes to ice, I'll gladly take all the grip I can get.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Doesn't live up to claims for very cold smooth ice
Comment: I'm giving this product a poor rating because the claims they make about no slipping on ice hasn't proved true for me. I live in the far north, and there is no concrete or asphalt visible from November until late March, even on plowed roads. As we're getting older and bones can break, I bought a pair of these for myself, my spouse and an elderly neighbor last year. All three of us fell on the slick driveway, more than once. To be fair, the device does help some with catching yourself. But the claims that you can run on the ice are simply not true, at least not on all types of ice with all types of hardness. So, after sixty dollars plus for three pairs, I have an unusable product to clutter my home. I think businesses really need to be more responsible with the claims they make on a product. People are trying to be careful with money. Spending this amount and still falling is really disappointing because I needed to spend the money on something to keep us from getting injured.

Sport the Same Yaktrax Worn By Olympic Bobsledding Teams, and walk Safely on Slick Ice and Snow. Named after the sure-footed Tibetan Yak. Yaktrax stretch over everything from winter boots to your jogging shoes. Once in place a grid of skidlock steel coils give you traction of the famed mountain sheep on hard packed snow and glare ice.
