Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

These really helped to prevent falls on the ice.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

These are a requirement when pushing a snowblower. Great quality, seem like they will last a long time, and value priced.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Allows me to walk more safely in snow & slush in Minn after hip surgery. I am also taking them to Alaska when I go for my nieces wedding.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I deliver newspapers 365 days a year. I have fallen on many icy driveways, walks, stairs and streets. Last winter I hit my head when I fell and was knocked unconscious. My son got me some snow traxs which helped but they kept coming off and I lost them several times. This winter I stepped on a small ball of ice in the middle of my foot where there where no metal cleats so I rolled with the ball of ice. I pulled all the ligaments in my hip which was very painful and made it impossible to even dress myself for several weeks. My sister-in-law recommended that I find Yaktrax which is what her doctor told her she was to use after she shattered her ankle. When I found these I was excited to try them. My husband has to help me stretch them to get them on my boots but that's fine since they STAY ON and they have metal on the TOES, INSTEP and HEEL for FULL protection. YEAH! I have not fallen nor lost my yaktrax since I got them. Once I didn't get the toe up over the toe of my boot enough and it slipped off under my boot but the velcro strap that goes over the toe kept it from coming all the way off and getting lost. YEAH! Thank you Gardeners for carrying such a wonderful product. I have recommended it to people at work.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

By far, the best gift I've ever given my Dad. He fell twice prior to using them. Much to his amazement, they kept him safely upright, regardless of the surface or weather condition - even 'black ice' that was not visible to the eye. Now he won't go outside without them on! Mission, accomplished! Thanks, Gardener's Supply!

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I take my dog for 1/2 -1/2 hour walks twice a day and needed something to help prevent me from falling when Illinois weather gets very icey. I went through 2 pairs of regular yak trax last winter and thought the Pro pair would be better. The size chart showed I should buy a small pair, but they are almost impossible to get on my boots, often flying off as I try to pull them on. After only one month of use, the portion of the straps that are looped through the traxs to anchor them to each trax, became frayed and I had to take them off. I just hope they last through the winter, for they do help a great deal with the walks!

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I walk my dog a couple miles each day and most people don't shovel their walks, so the yaktrax keep me from falling.
They provide purchase on ice, but are slick on tile floors.
They are difficult for an old guy like me to put on - I may need to take a yoga class.
I have arthritis in my hands, and that makes it difficult, too.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I foster and rescue dogs. I always have at least 4 dogs at a time. These are great for walking the dogs. Times when there is snow over the ice it stops me from falling.Buy them big. I bought a pair for me and my husband. Mine broke after using them all last winter and half of this. I will order another pair for me but in a larger size. They go on easier that way. I recommend them to everyone.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

My husband uses these when the driveway is icy and he has to snowblow. He thinks these are wonderful and keep him from slipping and sliding!

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I bought these for my husband when he does the snowblowing. He says they really work......no more slipping and sliding.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I used to hate walking the dog in the snow and ice in winter and now using the yaktrax I feel I can enjoy our winter walks onthe trails again.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

These are good when walking the dog in the snow. It has helped to keep my husband from slipping on the ice.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

We had snow and ice on Christmas Day. My husband received these as a Christmas present. He put them on to shovel our steep driveway. They broke within a half an hour.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Very disapointed in the product. Was suppose to be for heavy duty use and found them to be no better than others of their kind that I have purchased before. They came off and the snow blower ran over one. Was not even aware it came off. Feel I have waisted my $.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I live in central Ohio and we get LOTS of snow. Last winter I fell 3 different times while outside doing my chores. We've already had several snows so I've gotten to put these to good test and I love them. I have not slid once while wearing them. I was so impressed, we bought a pair for my father-in-law for Christmas .

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Slick ice makes it hard to disperse ice melt, use the snow blower, etc on our 1/4 mile, inclined driveway. These worked perfectly!

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Forgot to put them on one winter day, and I immediately slid on the ice. That taught me a lesson. NEVER forget your yak-traks!

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Yaktrax have been a lifesaver for me several times and kept me from serious falls on early morning walks. Wouldn't go out on icy, slick mornings without them.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

These have saved my life walking on our icy streets! I am comfortable and feel absolutely safe on all the ice on our property. I recommend them to everyone!

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I walk with my dogs every day in large fields and wooded areas. These have enabled me to walk in icy areas without fear of falling.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I have arthritis so it is quite hard to get on my shoes, but probably not for most people. I use them for taking the dogs for walks and the dog park during the winter. I broke my hip 5 months ago, so this definitely builds my confidence walking on ice and packed snow.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Great for dog walking, I feel more stable on my
feet when she pulls alittle11

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

do best with a layer of snow on the road but if there is just black ice will help from slipping too much. They fit most shoes well but would need a larger size if I was to wear them on a boot.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

These are great when walking the dog. Now its like I have four feet too.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

couldn't believe how well they grab into the ice. Don't slip side to side and keep me totally stable. One of the most useful Christmas presents I've received in a long time.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

The Pros were a surprise gift for my husband and he has attached them to a pair boots, and does not take them off. My uncle died of a fall on the ice last year - he was not wearing his yaktrax that he owned - so I bought them for us. They are terrific and provide excellent traction. So if you get them, wear them.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Walking again without fear of falling is wonderful. The best Christmas gift this year.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I just received these at Christmas. I have only needed to wear them 2 or 3 times so far. I do not know how long they will last, but I absolutely love them now. I walk my dog two or three times daily, and it will be nice to not fall down on the ice this winter.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

They are for my sister who has to walk between college buildings for meetings, etc. She has bad feet and these should help on ice and snow.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Both my husband and I use the Yaktrax Pro. They stay on our shoes and provide us with the confidence to enjoy walking outside no matter how snowy or icy it is.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

This purchase replaced my previous pair of Yaktrax Pro that lasted through 2 icy New England winters of daily dog walking. My dog is very energetic and can pull me off my feet even on dry pavement, so icy walks can be scary. My Yaktrax provide extremely secure footing even on smooth patches of ice. It takes about 2 minutes to put them onto my boots or shoes - I generally leave them on my boots whenever it's icy (which is pretty much all winter in my area). If you walk in icy areas, I highly recommend this product.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I was very disappointed in this product. I have a friend who loves it, but my experience was very negative.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I LOVE these! My only problem is that, where I walk, some areas are cleared down to the sidewalks/streets. Those cleared areas must be walked on with great care. But that has not stopped me from purchasing several pairs for friends. THANK YOU!!!

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

two weeks of two miles a day in snow and ice and one trax distorted - partially slipped off shoe and now continues to deform and cut the rubber matrix. Great idea but has bugs especially when the wire wrapping catches the hem of your pants....

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I use this product all winter.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Living in the mountains poses challenges in icy conditions. This product has enabled me to navigate safely and securely in the rugged terrain around my home.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I use YakTrax to give me traction when using a snowblower. My driveway has a steep hill and I would often slip while going up or down. When using the Yaktrax, I am very stable. When the wheels start spinning, I am able to lean in and get the machine moving again. My only complaint was that the rubber along the outside broke quickly when I slipped sideways and it pressed against the pavement. I managed to fix it with some wire, and that allowed me to use them for the rest of the season. I will repair these again and keep them as a backup pair. All in all, a useful product, and not just for hiking.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

These are wonderful. I am replacing a set that I have used for the last five years and only because
the springs broke after repeated use. Was looking to
purchase another set and was glad to find them.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Our property is very hilly. These items make it possible to go from our house to the garage safely.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

During spring thaw the driveway and road become a sheet of ice. Yaktrax allows us to still go for daily walks. They are difficult to get on, especially the first time but work very well.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I live in northeast Ohio, I'm a senior citizen, and walk an akita twice a day every single day, no matter what the weather conditions. I would not have survived this winter uninjured, without my yaktrax pro! These are my second pair; my original ones that I purchased through Gardeners Supply (3 or 4 years ago)are still on my snow boots and usable, though well worn, and once repaired. I'll have my new pair to snap on next season. Thank you. vh

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

The Pro model is definitely worth the extra money as compared to the regular Yaktrax model which is less expensive. The Pro model is much more sturdy, whereas the regular model did not last very long for me. I live in Alaska and use the Pro model everyday in the winter when I walk my border collie down a snow-covered dirt road which is often icy. The velcro strap also keeps them from sliding off boots which was another problem with the regular model.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

They work. Used them in icy conditions and had no problems. Their traction felt secure and stable.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I have a big dog which I walk three miles every day (unless there's a torrential downpour, electrical storm, or the combined temp and wind chill go below zero) so need to be able to walk on whatever mother nature throws at us. (And here in Michigan, that can be a lot!)

The Yak Trax Pro are great . . lightweight, don't make my shoes feel different, and once in place are very secure--and make me feel that way, too, especially on ice. They really grip!

Only thing i have found is that they're a little bit of work to get on the shoes (although that's probably also what makes them STAY on) . . so I just leave them on the same pair of walking shoes all winter. Also, over the course of the winter season (long in Michigan), a coil occassionaly comes loose on one of them. This is my third pair (in 5 years) but I'd still recommend . . it's a small price to pay to be able to walk through anything!

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I the cold of Wi where the ice in here most of the winter these work great a great value

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I walk my dog and this is great for those icy, snowy days in Ohio

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I like the design and the great traction provided but attaching them to your shoes or boots can be a little tricky. They tend to snap back if you don't attach them to your heels securely. I just leave them on a pair of boots I only wear outside and don't worry about taking them off and on. Haven't found anything with better traction.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Excellent traction even on smooth ice. (I can tell by the tracks in the snow that my mail carrier wears a pair, too!) NOTE: They are meant to fit snugly to the shoe or boot: do not get a larger size just to make it easier to mount and remove them, or they may shift underfoot and become unstable.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Once you get these on your boots, they are fine. I had some trouble doing that; no instructions were provided. I have small feet and the bands were too powerful for my regular boots. I do have a pair of large snow boots from LL Bean, on which I finally installed these. They provide extremely good stability and traction on ice and deep snow, of which we have plenty in Wisconsin.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I wear these for walking the dog during winter, a daily task. They're helpful during snow and ice, but will not grip glare ice.
My mom is a senior citizen, aged 82. She had to have me put the YakTraks onto her boots. Then she was afraid of how the treads grabbed at the doormats: she thought they might make her fall.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Gift for my pastor after he fell running last year. He loves them! Now he can run confidently on slippery surfaces.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I have a very steep driveway and the yaktrax help me to get up without falling. The chains do come off at times,but are easily put back.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

We have had a tough winter this year, but the 4 inches of frozen ice/sleet was the worst. I had seen these in the catalog earlier...and quickly got online and ordered 3 pair after the ice storm. The quickly arrived, and saved the day...and our necks! We live on a small farm, with sheep, horses, poultry and border collies, and chores can't wait.

The Yaktrax Pro performed beautifully! I could walk anywhere, including steep creek banks covered in ice, without slipping. Epic!

I ordered a small for myself, wearing a woman's size 8. I needed to put them over my Arctic Muck Boots, and I thought I'd never get them on. These boots have thick soles and are large in the foot, and are a size 9 so that I can wear heavy socks...I was just about to give up and wait until my husband came home to help me, but I gave it another shot and got them on. They have now stayed on those boots for many weeks without ever falling off. I am wearing them in deep snow right now, and I feel confident with my footing.

So, the very snug fit over my big winter boots is good now that they are on, but be prepared to struggle a bit...and they go on easily over regular shoes/boots.

An excellent product -- and great service from Gardners Supply!

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

These are great for getting around in the Chicago winters. Have not slipped in the ice once.

Due to my age and our recent weather conditions, this item has been a life-saver.....

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

We have race dogs, that need to be walked daily
and with our weather conditions, it's the only
way to go!!!!

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I bought them for my 85 year old father so that he can walk easier in the ice/snow. He goes out a lot and needs to bring in firewood no matter what the weather. They are a big help to him in getting around!

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I use these to get me back and forth from the horse barn. I leave them on to do all the chores. We have a steep driveway that is in the shade. It can become a glacier after a number of freeze/thaw cycles. Yaktrax are the only way I can get out of the house. The "Pro" version stays on better than the originals.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Great to give as a gift to family or friends who live or travel in wintry conditions. Safer to get from parking lots or spaces into stores in midwinter. More secure walking for long months Nov., Dec., Jan., Feb.+ in Chicago, Wisconsin, Minnesota, etc. Don't bother with non-strap type.

Cons, not difficult to put on IF you get appropriate size (co. says my size is small but medium fits my women's size 9 shoe better) then strap on. Taking them off once you've tromped through ice can be messy. Easier to keep Yaktrax Pros on a pair of winter shoes or boots and change to others when indoors, IMHO.

Not comfortable on flooring, be aware if you are walking in and out of doors repeatedly -- say, with a large load of grocery bags. Suppose trax might scratch a nice floor. Package does warn vs. walking on carpet.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I strapped these on (easily) for the recent winter storm and didn't lose my footing once. Very good product. I have never felt as sure-footed on the ice and snow.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Last year's Original Yak Trax did not make it through a Maine winter. These seem much more substantial. In order for them to fit snug, they are not the easiest to enter/exit but worth it for safety.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I work outside and have to be able to get around when it is ice. These have not let me down , haha, yet. Two of my coworkers have purchased them as well. Would recommond to people who must get out when it is ice, for recreation or for work.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

We bought the Yaktrax specifically for dealing with icy conditions -- for greater safety in walking. Unfortunately, the Yaktrax were difficult to put on shoes so we ended up not using them most of the time.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Gave these to my son for his first winter in New England. He says they were the best thing!!! He could continue to do his running, jumping, and general physical activities outdoors without difficulty. His fellow students thought so too!

We had a bad winter in Iowa last year and my Yaktracs really came in handy.

I really am glad that I got them when I did.

When I take the dog for his late evening walk in the winter, Yaktrax give me the security I need to avoid slipping on the icy driveway or street.

easy to use but would not last more than a few weeks, the rubber just fell apart

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

They seem difficult to get on. But once they are securely in place they work great. And I feel the tight fitting is needed to keep them on and stable. So be patient first fitting. They will work with your shoes.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Use the product in daily walks with the dog. Wouldn't go out without them if there is packed snow or ice on our streets.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

The Yaktrax takes the peril from the considerable trip to the mailbox in the winter.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

Purchased these for my husband who walked thru his first pair of YakTrax and broke them by the end of the season. These appear much sturdier and attach more securely. However, he has not had the opportunity to wear them as he did his first pair, so we will wait to see how they hold up.

Comments about Yaktrax® Pro, Pair:

I live in New England and walk a large, somewhat unruly dog. My Yaktrax give me a huge advantage in footing on snow and ice & have spared me several nasty falls. I HIGHLY recommend these to anyone who has to be out in the winter. I've bought them for my mother-in-law, a dedicated walker, and my husband, who starts work very early in the AM and is often walking around the city before the streets & sidewalks have been cleared.
