Enjoy better traction, confidence, and safety while hiking on packed snow or ice with this set of Yaktrax Pro traction cleats. Boasting a patented spikeless coil design, the Yaktrax Pro cleats let you move about naturally with the same solid grip you're accustomed to on dry surfaces. As a result, you can walk or run as you normally would, giving you stability on ice and snow like you've never felt before. The cleats are made of high-strength, abrasion-resistant 1.4 mm steel coils and heavy-duty natural rubber. This helps the cleats easily conform to the shape of your boot or shoe. The SkidLock coils also provide 360 degrees of traction on cold surfaces, so you'll feel stable in all directions. And because the Yaktrax Pro cleats are safe in temperatures as low as -41 degrees Fahrenheit, you'll be able to wear the cleats in a variety of environments, from Wisconsin winter streets to the icy slopes of Mount Rainier. The Yaktrax Pro cleats are available in small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes.

Excellent! Improve your SAFETY during winter walks December 21, 2005
Kim Voss (Waupaca, WI United States)

bought 2 pairs for my walking partner and self. They are awesome! We tried cheaper versions last winter and spent most of the time trying to keep them on our shoes. The YAKTRAX pro has a strap over the toes helps keep them in place. We walk on ice, snow, shoveled walks, streets and they keep you from slipping. Be careful on tile or flooring in your house - then they are slippery. One of us had shoes with an opening in the sole that created a pocket for snow build up - once the shoes were changed to a flatter bottom - no more build up. I love them and considering the cost of an injury without them think they are well worth the money.
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.
Yaktrax pro January 26, 2008

I run 3 to 6 miles several times a week year around in Michigan. I bought a pair of yaktrax pro 3 years ago and use them whenever there is ice and/or snow on the trails on which I run. They have been great! They are easy to slip on over my running shoes, they stay on, and I'm barely aware of them when I run, other than that I no longer slip and slide on ice and snow. The original pair that I bought 3 years ago finally broke in one spot last week so I need to replace them. Even the break was not a big deal. One of the pieces of rubber on the bottom tore. I went ahead and ran on it anyway and it still did OK. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants to stay active year around in a snowy/icy climate.
Sure Footing Once Again January 27, 2009

One of my relatives got me a pair of Yaktrax Pro cleats for Christmas and I just put it aside and thought it looked strange. It snowed pretty good this week and it has been icy and I have slipped more than once going to and from my car at the office. I thought that since it was -6°F this morning, I would try them out. I was able to slip them on over my boots while in my car and then walked to the office from the parking lot and had sure footing once again. It was like I was walking on dry ground. I am going to wear them every day while there is snow and ice on the ground. I definitely recommend them.
Don't be a statistic March 17, 2009

Late winter can be a treacherous time in Maine. The seasonal warmth of the sun melts snow and puddles it up in contained areas, such as driveways edged with packed snowbanks. After the night-time freeze, Zamboni-smooth sheets of ice make walking dangerous.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that over one million Americans suffer a slip, trip, and fall injury and over 17,000 people die in the U.S. annually because of these injuries. Slip, trip and fall injuries make up 15 percent of all job related injuries. They are so common that, as you see from these statistics, they have their own named category: "slip, trip and fall injuries."
Since the average direct cost for one disabling workplace injury is estimated at $34,000, with indirect costs estimated at two to five times the direct cost, no employer wants to see employees slipping, tripping and falling. To help us all get to work upright and undamaged, my employer negotiated a deal for the Yaktrax Pro, Shoe Traction Device so we could get them at a great price. They're terrific! A stretchy rubber frame to snap around the sole of your shoe, with criss-crossed wire coils that bite into slippery snow and ice for secure footing. This YakTrax Pro model comes with removable Velcro straps to secure the tops, and while I've used the straps for walking on trails, they haven't been necessary for going to work.
The YakTrax website contains the following information: "With its patented SkidLock coil design, the Yaktrax Pro provides 360 degrees of traction on packed snow and ice and can be worn in temperatures as low as -41° Fahrenheit." The lowest temperature I noticed at my house this winter was -33° Fahrenheit and my YakTrax got me down the driveway and across the parking lot at work without a slip, trip or fall. This is a great product that can keep you out of the CDC statistics. Many thanks to my employer! Highly recommended.
