Product Description
Yaktrax Pro Traction Cleats instantly provide better traction, confidence and safety for walking, jogging, or hiking on packed snow or ice. Pro Traction Cleats fit over shoes and are secured with a durable rubber strap that ensures an excellent fit. Traction is provided by a shaped-edge coil design that provides unequaled stability on ice and snow, letting users move about naturally with the same solid grip as on dry surfaces. Yaktrax Pro Traction Cleats are made of high-strength, abrasion and rust-resistant 1.4 mm steel coils and heavy-duty natural rubber to help the cleats easily conform to the shape of any boot or shoe. Multiple coil angles provide 360 degrees of traction on cold surfaces for stability in all directions. Because Yaktrax Pro Traction cleats have been tested in temperatures as low as -41 degrees Fahrenheit, they can be worn in a variety of environments, from icy Wisconsin streets to packed-snow trails in wintery woods. Yaktrax Pro Traction Cleats are available in small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes to fit most shoes: 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); X-Larger (fits shoe size W15.5+, M 14+). For oversized shoes or boots, Yaktrax recommends purchasing one size larger than your normal shoe size.

I would caution against using them for jogging/running, for the very reason above. They have no serious tip of the toe traction, so they will often slip on that motion. Not a problem when walking (other foot has got you covered) but when running you spend some time in the air not supported by either foot, and a slip there can cause a drastic loss of balance. Yaktrax does make running specific ones, but I cannot vouch for their efficacy.
If you use them regularly, these will last slightly less than a season. The metal coils wear down surprisingly quickly, but this is somewhat true of any product that you put your full weight on all the time. By the end of winter I was crimping and bending the busted coils with pliers to make them last until spring/summer. If you live in a perpetually snowbound area, they may not even make it through half of winter... so get two pairs.
The irony of Yaktrax is that while they increase your traction on many surfaces (concrete, snow, ice, etc.) they drastically reduce it on several indoor surfaces. On tile I have had to brace myself on one or two walls to prevent crashing to the ground. Works well enough on carpet, but after wear hits the coils, they will snag and stick in the carpet, making it even worse to walk on. Bring another pair of shoes to use for indoor use, or be prepared to take the Yaktrax off and on repeatedly. They are not easy to quickly remove or add to shoes (unless you are more nimble than me and that is a very low bar).
The short version is: Do you live in a place where winter occurs in short intervals? These will work well. Do you live in a place where Winter is a constant fact of life? You probably already have a solution.
Either way, if you can afford the expense (and they're not that pricey), you can stroll around during Winter with impunity.
First impressions, they were easy for my husband and I to put on our insulated Columbia boots. They are staying put but the rubber straps are quite tight. I am concerned about them breaking and noticed other reviewers mentioning to go a size up for thick boots. Wish I had seen this before because I could definitely see them snapping in their current state. I followed the sizing guidelines (size small for women’s size 8, size large for men’s size 12) and they are tight on both sets of boots. I definitely second the thought of going a size up for winter boots. I do wish the manufacturer had mentioned this. I noticed other brands of ice cleats do recommend a size up for boots, it just didn’t occur to me as I had never heard of these before buying the Yaktrax and did t think to order anything other than what the manufacturer recommends.
All that aside, they work very well. I was skeptical that these metal coils would do much of anything because I’ve lived in the north all my life and nothing has ever made walking on ice easier. But these really do!! My husband and I were so excited to get them, we strapped them on straight away and ran outside to the icy road and stomped all around. We must’ve looked ridiculous to our neighbors as each step we took without slipping elicited much joy. We tried very hard to slip and could not. These things are awesome.
As much fun as they are outdoors, they are clearly not meant for indoors. Tile floor was very slippery but we did not scratch them (even though we tried really hard). Walking on anything hard felt weird at first but we quickly adjusted. Walking on carpet didn’t feel different at all. It was important for me to test them briefly indoors because I intend to leave these on my boots for the entire winter without having to take them on and off every time I leave. I believe if I had ordered a size up for boots from the start, they’d be perfect. I really hope they add that to their sizing chart to avoid the hassle of exchanges. Other than that, we love our Yaktrax!!

The sound is a little crunchier than I expected, however they are doing a great job preventing me from slipping on uneven icy surfaces on our sidewalks and streets.
I did notice that there are more fancy and grippy options available now, compared to when I bought my first set but sometimes simple is more effective.
