Yaktrax 8001 provide excellent traction for walking in town hiking on trails. The heel coil allows for brief walking on surfaces (wood, tile) without damage to thise surfaces. If it is very icy then you have to walk more carefully too, but this is sti... Read More

Easy to put on, easy to take off and fit like a glove. They fit my boot well. Easy to remove and easy to put back on. Great for those with arthritic hands. Available in sizes 10-16. Available www. Footwear.

Cons

In principle it has great traction on ice, but it should last much longer. May need to find something with rubber grippers instead of steel.

Might have been prevented if cleaned after each use as salt was probably the cause. It is for this reason i cannot recommend this product.

Sizing is wrong. Tried a small going by the sizing chart. Boot soles are thick and too small a size is very hard to stretch on and curls up front of boot. Without strap this model flips off my boots.

Quality

Easy to put on and very effective even on solid sheet ice conditions in early spring melt freeze cycle.

They are great, easy to use and work well :)

You must take them off before walking on tile, it is too slippery and you can fall.

I have purchased 2 pairs as my first pair broke after a month of continual use.

Competitiveness

I would however recommend the more expensive model as it has a strap to help keep the yaktrax on in snowy weather.

Have tried many different brands but kept loosing one.
