Safer Winter Walking With Yaktrax The Yaktrax Pro improves on the original Yaktrax Walker in a few.Alicia MacLeay TRAILSPACE STAFF TOP 10 REVIEWER +2,572 March 5, 2008 I’ve had my Yaktrax Pro traction devices for two winters now and was relatively happy with them for winter trail running, despite some limitations, until I got a pair of Kahtoola MICROspikes to test this winter (see my review.The Yaktrax Pro Traction Cleats (Small) fit fairly well on my size 8 Saloman Quest 4D 2 GTX hiking boots. My first use for them was to shovel and salt my driveway, which was on an incline, after a snowfall.
They functioned as I had imagined and I did not slip while shoveling. At some point, the left cleat had broke and I was disappointed.i’ve had unusually icy and incliment weather this winter so i’m now qualified to leave a review for this item. when i bought yaktrax they were almost thirty bucks (i think) and i’m very pleased. the rubber is very sturdy but even if that would break, i would buy another pair. they ARE that good. i’m visually impaired (legally blind) and can never tell for sure if something is icy, wet, or just dark pavement. this.
They are easy to clip on and provide excellent grip on ice and compacted snow. The Medium size fits over a pair of heavy duty Karrimor leather walking boots with chunky Vibram soles and a pair of Karrimor Supa III low-rise hiking trainers, both size 8 UK (42 EU). There was no slack whatsoever and no noticeable ‘squeezing’ of my feet when walking.Gear Review Yaktrax Pro Ice Grips for Shoes. With the cold winter weather on its way, I felt it would be a good idea to review the ice grips I bought last year to help me safely walk along roads and footpaths without slipping over on the ice..
The past couple of winters have been really dangerous as councils keep cutting back on the amount of grit they spread on the roads and pavements.The Yaktrax Pro come from the rubber ring with metal underfoot school of traction devices, but with some significant differences. First, the Yaktrax were – by far – the lightest traction devices I tested. To be more precise, at 169 grams for the pair they were half the weight of the next lightest traction device, the Kako Ice Trekkers Ultra.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.The Yaktrax Pro is one of the most unusual devices we tested.

You’re the shit Pastor Darrell! Thanks for the in depth video and quality production!
He’s running with hands in his pockets without a lid? Hmmm I think he fell at least once already
STABILicers MAXX or the 32north Toe Stabilicers are best for on ice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOAPZZRvbZ8 They’re not $34 anymore though…a little pricey for $70 now on Amazon…BUT they are the best by a mile.
Are they good on solid ice? It looked like you were afraid of slipping on the ice. Thanks for the review.
Good tip on lacing the back. ��. Ice cleats are a must when walking on ice and snow. I have several different kinds of them. My favorite is the Stabilicers Hike Macro.
very beautiful area for sure, it’s so good to hear your opinion on these spikes. I need a real good pair like that, I only have Yak Traks. I love the first ones you showed here. The cramp ons look interesting too, never tried anything like that but would need that for mountains, like you said. The snowshoes are awesome, CO hiking is good with snow shoes for sure or any area with huge amounts of snow. Thank you so much for sharing!
These things work really well. I used to work at a horse farm and walking got difficult at times. Just slip them on and they are a game changer.
hello my friend.
Today also nice video.these looks so much better than the ones I have.Have a nice weekend.
Keep from slipping on ice this winter while running, hiking, and or walking! Under $20 and worth every penny! NOTE: we recommend ordering a size larger than what Amazon recommends. Check them out here: https://amzn.to/3a4N4lQ
I have some of these. We don’t get a lot of ice here but I wouldn’t be without them for sure!! Great product.
Because i get survival when i fell so hard on my back head haaaa
these would be great if we ever actually got winter here in NC… lol! we love our snow down here(if we ever get it)
I’ve been suspicious of YakTrax for years. It looks like the metal coils don’t have the ability to penetrate ice, and can make a sliding surface against ice. I suspect the design is more suitable for use on snow without ice.
Hi! Great footage. Sub+ Big lk 21. Let be a friends and pls sub me back.
Have a nice day! Happy New Year!
I now understand why this report has so many likes.

It was blunt and to the point.
New friends here hope we can connect, thanks for sharing, we don’t usually get that much ice during the winter but those would be great. Thanks for sharing, Blessings
Not sure what the brand is that I use here in Maine. Yje sure will get a work out according to the weather forecast. Thanks for sharing. Many blessings.
Looks like a great product. We get a lot of ice and snow here in West Virginia
Those work well! We might be getting an ice storm on Sunday morning, those would come in handy!
Klaus
A great review of your ice cleats. I have some similar but they don’t have that useful strap to put across the top of your foot. I might need them tomorrow, rain overnight changing to freezing rain tomorrow and getting colder. Thanks for sharing.
Oh dang that is a lot of ice. So glad we do not get that stuff in our area very often. Wow those made a big difference in the walking ability on ice. Thanks for sharing hun
Looks like great ice spikes. Great review. Thanks for sharing!
This just names a winner for people wanting to not slip in an ice skating rink. In reality, not all ice is so flat, and I think the other products tested would do better in those conditions.
I’m sorry it didn’t occur to me that you have bigger feet then I do.
I prefer the crampons for two reasons, first and foremost with my back issues a twist or slip in the back county could be catastrophic, more so then for the average hiker. Second because I’d not heard of micro spikes when I was looking. I’d be interested to try them though.
I will say that as far as the snow shoes go, the biggest issue is they are required, and even if it appears they aren’t needed at the trail head, they may well be needed at elevation. DEC can and will issue tickets or deny you access to the back country if they don’t see them hanging from your pack.
Ha ha was just think of doing a video…I have about 4 pairs. In my packs and in the truck. Very handy..specially at my age ��
these look very useful. I dont specifically have these but i do use/have ice cleats. A lot of falls or slips could be avoided by wearing them. These or similar ones would also aid in pushing/shoveling snow as you can push more without sliding on the snow. IMHO these should part of everyone’s winter gear layout especially for places that get a lot of freeze and thaw cycles or see freezing rain. No pun intended, but there’s a lot of down time when people fall( pain, sore, broken bones or sprains and learning to do normal tasks differently(off hand, on crutches) which in turn can effect one’s work or school performance.
I bet those really come in handy on the ice. We got mud here. Great video
Weekend Sportsman, thanks for preparing this. I’ll be buying shortly… winter walks should be safer, easier, and more do-able with the help of these cleats. Your video is outstanding!
You know what they say about guys with big feet…..they need big boots.
Good advice for sure.
Meh, just shoot a buncha pop rivets through the bottoms of those Bean Boots and yer good to go. ��
What traction devices do you bring along with you on your snow and ice filled treks into the woods? Let me know below!
Yes ice crampons are great ( I have two various sizes! ) Cheers!!!
Man, you can play hockey on that driveway. It used to be that only old people were buying such products. Now, they are becoming popular with everyone. We’re have snow here in Canada that are more like studs that bite into the ice. Those seem to work best. Be safe on that ice.
We are with you on staying safe on the ice we have ice cleats too. My hubby had hip surgery and I hear you there too. New friend Ruthie
ok, but how do these things feel when you’re not on an icy patch of the sidewalk??
These were a lifesaver what I lived in Alaska. Happy New Year!! I hope you and your family had an amazing holiday season. Best wishes in 2020 ����
Just wear pantyhose over your sneakers and I promise you you will not slide or slipped on water or ice
In the mid 1990s, I had “Ice Joggers” that had 6 replaceable carbide spikes on each foot. That is 4 under the forefoot, and 2 under the heel. They worked well. One day in a home improvement store, I saw a similar product for $3 / pair. They had metal spikes, which seemed to be malleable: They quickly got mashed down, with considerable loss of ice penetrating ability.
I’ve had yaktrax for two years, and they work perfectly. I don’t see how he slid so much because I can easily run in mine. Never even close to slipping. I’d be afraid the others would scratch my floors no matter how careful I was.
I bought the Stabilicers Maxx 2 for a friend for Christmas, and bought the Stabilicers Hike XP for myself. I already own the Stabilicers Run. All of them are excellent, but the Maxx 2 have the most grip because of the extra cleats.
Just tested my Yaktrax on the frozen driveway….no slip at all, even when I tried. Tested those also on the roadway, same, no slip. Even the areas frozen smooth as glass on roadway, Yaktrax did perfectly, no slip. I’m wearing a police patrol boot called “Bates,” where the tester in this video used tennis shoes….that may have been a factor.
I’m curious as to how easy it is to walk on sidewalks or roads that don’t have ice. Sometimes spots can be clear while others icy.
Even those shitty 34.00 dollar ones are useless when the little ridge wears off the screws.
Needed when operating snow blower on snow/ice covered driveway
This video sucks ive had those yak tracks for years they arent meant for ice rinks but i have walked on frozen lakes ice on side walks and driveways is no problem when it snows i wont leave the house without them
Didn’t really think about it till me and my daughter were on our Colorado trip and needed some help walking on the icy trails.. We rented some spikes to fit on our shoes.. What a life saver.. Thanks for sharing.. Full View Like 25
