YakTrax Reviews
Product looks awesome and fits great, waiting for the slippery stuff so I can try 'em out. Shipping was outstanding! Best Customer Service on Earth, why buy anywhere else?
YakTrax defeat cabin fever! These are the only traction products I've ever used that truly deliver. Note, the package says not for indoor use and they mean it. Make sure you remove them as soon as you are indoors. YakTrax rule the winter.
Received in a very timely manner. Love this product! So much snow this year and haven't had a problem. I feel so much safer walking with my YakTrax! Thank you!
These work very well for occasional traipsing across streets, sidewalks, and parking lots that are covered in ice and snow.
I live in S.W. Norway, where we get snow, then rain, which converts the snowy ways to glaciers. I swear by YakTrax...they keep me upright even in the most difficult conditions. I recommend them highly to everyone. They could save Americans thousands of dollars in medical bills!
YakTrax are essential if you live in a cold weather place. They're a purchase you don't even need to think about. Just get 'em!
bought these as a gift for my husband, who decided he wanted to continue running in the winter, despite snowy/icy conditions. He loves these. They stay securely on his shoes, provide great security/grip, and since they are not spikes, he does not need to worry about damaging the cement if he runs over a bare patch, or a shoveled sidewalk.
These work best on packed and light snow. They can come off your boot in deep snow. They slide a bit on ice unless you short step. They roll a bit on concrete spots. The springs eventually rust and break. I strongly advise in more adverse conditions to go with the more expensive Kahtoola Microspikes!
I purchased the YakTrax last year for my daughter to wear in Colorado. I should have known a 24-year-old probably wouldn’t use them. But... I am! I had a knee replaced last summer and used the YakTrax on my boots a few weeks ago. I have never felt so secure on ice (or snow). And while I am always careful, I finally felt able to cross the street without fear of sliding (which gave me part of my knee problems to begin with). While you can remove them pretty easily, I prefer to keep them on an older pair of boots permanently to go to the mailbox or on the driveway. I wear a size 9 boot, but ordered the Medium YakTrax. With arthritis it’s difficult to stretch them onto the boot. There was no slippage on the boots.
While these gave great traction for as long as they stayed on, I only had them for a few weeks before I lost them somewhere on my route home. Next time I’ll spring for the deluxe model with the toe strap.
This product was purchased for an elderly gentleman. He found the product effective on the ice and snow. However, he wore the product to the market and almost had a disaster. The market floor became a hazard due to the metal on the product attached to the shoes. If there was a warning, he was not aware of the danger of walking on a slick surface. Please make this known to your buyers. Just a suggestion, a warning of some kind would be appropriate.
The department wanted to purchase a pair of cleats that would help our Firefighters keep traction when going to car accidents or other calls when there were icy conditions. We tried a couple of different brands and checked into Yak Trax as they seemed the easiest to put on or take off of our boots. We have had them for a year now and we wear them all the time going to calls. It is amazing how these help the firefighter maintain the grip while walking. The only down fall we have seen is wearing them in the station on some of the flooring they are slippery. Otherwise a great product. We are recommending to other departments in our city government to use these products.
I fell and broke my wrist 2 years ago. I was looking for something to wear for ice and snow. I bought the Yaktrax Pro. The spirals keep breaking. So, I guess it is to cold in Wisconsin to wear these. Otherwise they work really good!
After two falls on ice over the past several Midwest winters, one resulting in a broken elbow, I found myself cautiously shuffling along and afraid. I ordered the Yaktrax Walker after reading the reviews and it has made a tremendous difference, grabbing into the snow and ice. They aren\'t handy for short trips, as they must be removed before walking indoors, but they\'re great for prolonged outdoor activity and have given me back the confidence to walk my dog without fear of wiping out. Great product!
Yay, I love these! I live in a place with snowy winters and often icy/snowpacked conditions, and I walk outside a fair amount of time. I picked my way through lumpy, icy sidewalks, but now I have the extra stability of YakTrax. These are very easy to take on and off, just don't wear them indoors as others have said. A friend of mine hurt herself while wearing these on smooth tile; they'll make your feet go right out from under you if you're wearing them on that! I've also heard that they tend to snap if you wear them in extremely cold temps, but that hasn't been a problem for me yet.
Outstanding value in every way. Worn daily during a winter on an iced in island on Georgian Bay. Went on easily over my snowboots. Strictly outdoors, damaging on indoor surfaces. Gave wonderfully safe footing on packed snow or a few inches of snow over ice. Tend to pull off in deeper snow more suited to snow shoes. Not so good on glare ice which demands studs or crampons. I found them on Zappos shortly before our Canada winter trip and they were the best buy of the season. Highly recommended.

Wonderful! One of the best purchases I've made! Provides just enough traction so I can negotiate icy walkways and my down-sloping driveway and slush on sidewalks! Living in the High Desert of Southern California, snow usually happens a few times a year, but this year's recent storm four days ago left our area with much higher accumulations of powdered snow, over a layer of ice from the storm a couple of days earlier. Now, if they'd invent "YakTrax" for car tires (no, I don't have tire chains)!

Very nice. Okay, so I'm a woman and I wear a size 11 shoe in womens. I ordered these Yaktrax and they fit fine on my boots. How are they on ice? Well, so far so good and you can barely tell I'm wearing anything. How hard is it to put on? Extremely easy, thank God. Would I recommend? Yes. Nice because as long as you don't have a big heel they should fit over most shoes and you can slip them off when you get inside. About as easy to take on and off as slippers. Hope this helps.
YakTrax Walker......Is great! Sure wish I'd have known about these before this winter. Someone mentioned YakTrax in a customer review about shoes/boots and I decided to try them. They've (literally) saved my boney bottom when needing to walk on snow-covered ice. Great idea that I wish I had invented.
A must for pedestrian commuters!I live in New England and walk to work - these are essential for icy/snowy days. I forgot them on one trip and took a nasty spill so I will not be without them again. They're surprisingly comfortable - but remember to take them off inside - linoleum is not your friend!!
