YaktraxDiamond Grip All-Surface Traction Cleats for Walking on Ice and Snow (1 Pair)

Cleats delivered what was promised - allowed for easy walking in the snow. Stayed put unlike others I've tried.

like most of the country we have been in a deep freeze for about a week. light snow fell for two days, and since that time the thermometer has only made it to 32 for a few hours. walking in the snow was fine until a couple days ago when we had freezing rain and then freezing fog…when taking the garbage out proved a harrowing experience, I felt it was a good time to pull out the yaktrax. even though the windchill is 2 the dogs and I have been dying to get out and walk.I returned several “copy cat” products before stepping up to the yaktrax. even though I may only wear them a couple of days a year, I could tell many would break because of poor construction or inferior materials, others where just too small for work boots. I bought a pair of XXL yaktrax to fit over my size 13, 8” insulated boots and they fit perfectly, moreover, they worked to perfection. they allowed me to go places I would never consider and had zero concern - as sure footed as a yak (I suppose). we live on a bay off a huge lake that had frozen over…even out there my traction was excellent and I had a good walk with the dogs…I also like how easy they are to put on and take off. I used to wear an old pair of metal spiked, golf shoes when it got cold…but those aren’t insulated and it’s real easy to end up with wet feet. Nor do I want to spend several hundred dollars on a special boot. this way I can wear whatever I want to and be assured of traction. I do recommend sizing up one size if you are going over hiking or work boots. the construction of yaktrax is simple but robust. I think the rubber is strong and isn’t going to snap in a year like some I looked at.lastly, yaktrax aren’t going to impair your traction on a clean surface either and that’s what has sold me on them. I highly recommend these for anyone who likes to get out irrespective of what mother nature throws at you.

Makes walking safer on the ice, was a struggle to get them on at first but once on they were no problem.

First use and very impressed with grip. Felt very safe and comfortable. Don’t know about longevity yet. Found them fairly easy to put on and I am 60, female and have some arthritis in my hands but my boots are at the smaller end of the size range so your mileage may vary.

Having an oversized snow boot (US 14) it was tricky to find cleats that would stretch over my boot, these are great as they offer a XXL for oversized boots.I would definitely go a size up when buying them!
