Yaktrax Walker Traction Device

I've only had the chance to use these a couple of times recently following a short spell of frost and ice. I wasn't sure if they would be suitable for use on pavements with just a thin covering of frost and ice instead of proper snow, but I found them to be great. I suffered a bad fall a few years ago due to black ice on the pavement so I have a real fear of slipping and falling again. I felt much more confident when walking with these on my boots as I could really feel the difference, as they definitely give you better grip and traction when walking in frosty, icy or snowy conditions. It was a work colleague that recommended them to me and I would most definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for something to use in wintry conditions,

I bought these when it was snowing as I had fallen over twice in one day, and couldn't just stay in the house, as I have dogs to walk. I didn't find them difficult to fit, but they fit nice and securely and feel good on the snow/ice. I've not walked about indoors with them on, as I have wooden floors in my house, and don't go inside anywhere when I'm walking with my dogs, so can't comment on how dangerous they are to walk indoors with on, but there are various warnings about doing that on the box. I would recommend them as a great way to stay upright in the snow/ice - I just want there to be some more now, so I can wear them again!

These tracks are the ones where you choose a size rather than the universal size ones. I have now had both and the universal ones are to tight to fit larger size shoes meaning thay are difficult to get on. These are easier to fit however they do not come with a valcro overshoe strap (like the universal ones) and can easily slip of as they did onmy first use. In fact I had to backtrack a mile to try and find it. Fortunately I have some straps from some old broken universal traxs which I have been able to use. They should come with this strap as standard.

Brilliant, I feel safe walking on snow and ice

To put it mildly, I'm a little unsteady on snow and ice. I bought a pair of these after skidding and falling during the first snow in 2010 and getting taxis to go places and they really make a difference. I can walk confidently on surfaces I'd have been skidding on without them. I have walked on ice-free pavements wearing them and even in some shops but on a hard shiny floor grip is not good. You can easily take them off and put them back on again. Just remember to carry a small plastic bag to hold them while you are indoors in as they can be wet and dirty after walking in snow and ice. Ended up buying seven more pairs for family and friends.

In the current snowy spell, my wife was struggling to keep her footing around our village. As we are both in our early 60s, we realise that slipping and breaking something is actually quite serious. So I looked at some reviews here, and decided on these. My wife's shoe size is 4, and we went for the small size. Ordered early Thursday afternoon, paid extra for express delivery, and they arrived morning post Friday! My wife tried them out straight away. They fit on easily. However it is easy to get a bit sloppy here, you do need to ensure that they are on properly, the plastic bits fully up the sides on both sides. If not, they can slip off. Now she knows this, no problem. An amusing episode was when she and our 27 year old daughter were out together. My daughter was clutching onto to her Yaktrax shod mother as that was the only way she could make progress! I shall be buying a pair for myself.

These are really good. Very easy to get on and off any shoes or boots and so good to walk in on snow and ice. I walk to work every day and live in a hilly area and these really gave me confidence to stride out in all the snow and ice we had before Christmas. They are also good when walking on bits of path without snow. The only place I found not to wear them is going into shops that have polished floors as they are then slippy. I would certainly recommend them

These definitely work well. Here's the problem: I put boot heel into the device then stretch the device to my boot toe. All is well for ten minutes or so but then the front rides up over onto the top of my boot. These are large size on a size 10 boot. I'm not sure that a smaller size is the answer as then it would be difficult to stretch them to get them on. I'm not the only reviewer who's noticed this problem.

Great value item that worked really well. Easy to slip on / off and avoided all that slipping around on icy paths. Tested on a trip to Norway, probably won’t get much use in Australia 🤣

Highly recommended

super schnelle Lieferung; leichte Handhabung; lässt sich gut tragen;

Saved us when the ICE storm rolled through TN two weeks ago... literally ordered them a couple days before and they arrived the Friday before the storm! So thankful!!! My husband had slipped on the deck stairs as it LOOKED like water/rain NOT ICE but it was ICE! Just 3 steps but he went down. Thankfully not hurt. These arrived for both of us and he was saying WOW...these are GREAT!!! My Nephew in VA had told me about these and I forgot to order them...literally popped back into my mind of things to do, like 2 days before the storm and i was grateful they arrived the day before it hit us! We could NOT walk outside our house it was so icy EVERYWHERE...front walkway, outside garage doors, outside both back doors... crazy! OK... specs: we ordered according our shoe size. I wear an 8 got the size in the chart that would best fit. Right out of the box, they are easy to figure out...toe in first, then heel and I even walked gently on our real wood floors without any issues, no marks, nothing. I wore these when we went out to dinner and on areas without any ice/snow and it didn't hurt them. They are light weight and easy to put on and take off. Ease of walking is great along with traction and gripping ice well. Didn't seem to show any signs of rust when left to dry. There's instructions stating that if they tend to come loose, to just pinch the connecting points together on the bottom. I haven't noticed any issues so far. Now that are made of some type of rubber, so will they rot and fall apart eventually...possibly but for the price, you can't beat these. I chose these because of what my Nephew had said...although there are other versions or types/brands out there, like ones with circular spikes. Those would probably suit the purpose too but i like that these aren't sharp. HIghly suggest this product! Here's a pic and video of how easy they are to put on and still fit really tight. I never had an issue with them coming off. Here, this video shows me putting one on with one hand!

Ich bin begeistert. Ich hab die Yaktrax Walk bestellt, mit denen ich aber auch gelaufen bin. Das hat toll funktioniert, man spürt sie kaum, man hat sogar ein ganz leicht federndes Gefühl und sie geben guten Grip. Fürs Wandern und Laufen auf vereisten und glatten Flächen total gut, jedenfalls in der Ebene. Die Handhabung ist sehr einfach (unterschnallen fertig) und die sitzen bei mir auch fest ohne beim Laufen zu verrutschen. Lieferung war auch prompt. Guter Kauf!
