a winter runner's friend December 30, 2008
Mary M. A. Evans (Colorado Springs, Colorado United States)
I've had a pair of yax trax for a few years to walk on icy trails with the friend who recommended them, but had always been "content" to run on a treadmill or to do some other aerobic excercises when the snow and ice got slick. My new personal trainer in the form of a hyper standard poodle demands at least a few miles outside daily so the trax have now been used to run in. No slipping or sliding on the icy part of the trail, and I no longer have to settle for sweating while watching a TV or getting in no run at all.
One down side, and it may just be me. When I run more than 5 miles in the trax, I get little micro cramps in my feet after the run. They do feel a bit rolley when running and I think my feet work overtime compensating for that. The friend who recommended them has had to replace one pair but that pair was over 4 years old and has had lots of wear and tear.
Wow! December 24, 2008

Our streets and sidewalks are pretty much a solid sheet of ice right now. I went out walking my dog, and he was sliding all over the place. No slipping for me. Now if they would just make Yaktrax for dogs!
Yaktrax's are the best October 26, 2008

Yaktrax's are unbeatable. They give the greatest traction in all icy conditions. I run a high mountain camp and have tried many ice traction devises. In icy conditions, CAUTION, is always the most important factor, no matter what the devise. In walking indoors all devises can be hazardous, it depends on the care you use while walking. My staff and I have used Yaktrax's for years. For inside staff, regular Yaktrax's are the best. They put them on to walk from their cabin or car to the office and pop them off once inside. For my outside staff, the Yaktrax Pro's can't be beat. They are rugged and don't ware out. The strap over the front of the boot keeps them in place in most situations. When coming inside it is best and easiest to slip the boots off and to step into indoor shoes. For long Life - take a little time - when putting "Trax's" on, make sure they slip into the grooves in the soles of the boots and if the end of a spring starts to catch, use a pair of pliers to squeeze it back into place. The Yaktrax Pro's I have on now have lasted me for three years and counting.
