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.
