And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My Lovely Melis wears these for winter walks, though I still can't understand why someone would be wearing a tennis or running type shoe in the winter while out for a stroll.
Work well until you forget to take them off before stepping inside on hard surfaced flooring. And I can report from experience the rubber doesn’t like -30 or colder.
Do yourself a favor and get the upgraded version with the chains. Work better and will last a lot longer especially if you get off the sidewalk. Use them all winter in SE Alaska when it is icy.
I went through 3 sets of YakTrax in as many years. The rubber breaks in the cold. Then I upgraded to StabilIcers and have used the same pair for 5 years.

ReplyDeleteWorth more than their weight in gold if you have to go out and walk on ice!
ReplyDeleteagreed! falling really hurts more now and it's a lot harder to get up.

ReplyDeleteI dunno, I think I'll continue to spend my winters here in Phoenix. When it gets cold, I'll put on socks.
