Not for everyday use! 
2008-05-09
I bought a pair of Yaktrax Walkers last winter for walking on snow and ice-covered backroads here in Vermont. They initially worked really well even though one would occasionally fall off my foot. They really do improve traction, even on glare ice -But they won't make you invincible and you can still slip if you're not careful!
Unfortunately, they only lasted me about three weeks before they started to self-destruct. The rubber bands that hold the steel traction coils get pinched between the coils and the ground and eventually break leaving the Yaktraks unusable. If you don't walk very much these may be right for you. But if you do, you'll go through several pairs of these a season because they wear out fairly quickly. I ended up getting Stabilicers. Those have lasted much longer although they're less comfortable to wear and more expensive.
Safety First!

My husband and I are an avid snowshowers/hikers. When the snow starts to melt, we hit the lower elevation trails and hike. This year there has been so much snow that even the low-lying trails are still covered near the top elevation gain which makes the last bit of the hike slick and treacherous. Now, instead of slipping and sliding all over the trail, we slip on our Yaktrax Walkers and feel secure that we won't be slipping and falling. They work GREAT! They're easy on, easy off, and improve stability on ice/packed snow. I highly recommend Yaktrax Walkers...so much so that we have purchased them for our elderly parents who live in snowy/cold climates. I feel better knowing that they have a better chance of not falling down in the ice now.
love my yaktrax 2008-04-06
I really appreciate my yaktrax - the sidewalks around here have seldom been clear of snow and ice this winter, and the yaktrax have meant that I have been able to continue my daily walks.
Helps keep you upright on the ice

I bought 2 pairs of these, one for myself and one for my husband, after we made a trip to our house in Maine in February and found we could barely stand up in the driveway, which was a sheet of ice. The 'small' fits easily over my size 8 women's shoe, and the medium fits his men's size 10 without a problem. The Yaktrax provided a good grip on the ice, and we felt much more secure. They are extremely lightweight and easy to deal with. My only concern is their long-term prospects: the gripping parts are made of spring-like coils (rather like what holds a spring binder together) and ultimately they will need to be pinched back into shape with pliers, after having been flattened by use, according to the instructions.. but after such a brief time, this has not become a problem, so we are pleased with the purchase. I managed not to fall down this time. If you are planning heavy use, I believe there is a 'pro' version, which is probably more appropriate, but these are fine for just getting around on the ice.
Security on Ice 2008-03-22
My Yaktrax provide me with safe walking on an icy driveway at my Maine home. However they are a little hard to put on. If you want to take them off and on frequently, I would recommend buying a size a little larger than normal. The shoes or boots that you will be using may have bigger, thicker soles.

Yak Trax Rock! 2008-02-15
Here in the Pacific NW, we have been bombared with snow & ice, Yak Trax
have been the answer for getting in daily walks, they are good on ice, but absolutely great on snow. They are easy to get on & off, and really
do the job. Great product!
Yak Tracks Work! 2008-02-10
When I tried the Yak tracks I didn't think they really worked, but when I changed shoes and walked on the same ice; it was very slippery. They do work.
A Great Product! Like Tire Chains for your feet! 2008-02-09
Yaktrax are wonderful. I've never even slipped while wearing these. I bought pairs for my Mom, my sister and my best friend. My elderly Mom keeps a set of Yaktrax on a pair of shoes by the door so she's always ready to go.
Good device for ice and packed snow 2008-01-23
We use our yaktrax all the time when our sidewalks are icy. They are easy to put on and take off. They're not for driving!
