Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Yaktrax on hiking to Camp Muir at Mt Rainier Comment: I bought these spring based traction enhancers to help us hike to Camp Muir at Mt. Rainier. While these are not for serious climbers like those with deep spikes, my wife and I found them quite helpful. While it is possible to slip somewhat, the slide was constrained. This turned out to be of great benefit when coming down the mountain. Yaktrax are more for urban use on icy sidewalks. One great benefit is these fold up very small for packing. We are glad we bought them. I have never used a set of deep spiked clampons but found these adequate for non technical hiking. Customer Rating: Summary: Great outdoors, hazardous indoors Comment: I bought these for my mother. She wore out one set of the less expensive model, and lost one of the second set. The less expensive models don't stay on the shoes as well, so we bought these to compare.
These certainly stay on. In fact, they stay on so well that it creates a problem. These work very well on snow and ice, but they're dangerously slippery indoors, especially on linoleum.
Since they're so hard to remove, my mother has decided that they're part of the shoe, and she carries an extra pair of slippers that she changes to as soon as she steps through the door. With the previous ones, she'd slip them off the shoe and put them in her jacket pocket.
These are much better suited to heavy and consistent use rather than occaisional emergencies. Customer Rating: Summary: A dog walker's winter dream Comment: This is my second pair of Yaktrax. I love the Pro style. The velcro strap keeps them on your boots. I lost one of the regular Yaktrax and didn't even know it until it was too late. The Yaktrax are essential on icy walks to keep you from slip slidin' away--especially it you're being towed along by a dog or two. Customer Rating: Summary: Such a great invention! Comment: These YakTrax make a HUGE difference when walking in snow and ice. I'm on crutches after hip surgery and have been able to trust my recovery to them when I am out crutching about on all the snow & ice this winter! Customer Rating: Summary: yaktrax Pro Comment: Yaktrax Pro work better on ice, and snow covered ice, than anything else I have tried. They don't slip on snow covered ice like spikes do. They are easy to put on and take off. They stay securely in place while in use.
A great product at a fair price!
