YaktraxRun Winter Traction Device

I purchased these as I was headed up to the Trossachs over the New Year period, expecting heavy snow and crazily wanted to be able to keep up with my daily running. These were absolutely excellent in thick snow, compacted ice, slush and everything in between. I did not find them difficult to put on (make sure you get the correct size!) and once on, they felt very secure. It takes a few minutes to adjust to the different feel of running with them on, but once you get going it was fine. Everybody else was doing a great job of impersonating bambi skating on ice, and I was cruising on past :)One word of warning though, if you're running in variable snow where there might be patches of tarmac without any snow/ice (e.g. while it is raining and some has cleared but heavier snow areas haven't) then the little pegs on the front can get twisted in their sockets and might need twisting back again to the right orientation. I ended up going without as soon as the majority of the snow had lifted, as I didn't really need them by that point. Also, as stated on the info, do not wear indoors!!!!Thanks Yaxtrax!

Fit well and brilliant. They do what it says on the tin....well the box. Ice, snow...no problem

I bought these to replace my previous Yaktrax Pros where the rubber had split. I should point out that I'm a walker and not a runner so I haven't been giving the "Run" devices the stress they may get with someone who is a little more nimble. On ice and packed snow they are brilliant. You get great traction. On powdered snow or on deep snow there is still the tendency to pick up clumps of snow beneath the coils which manifests itself in a "heel" you don't remember you had. It can feel very strange and it can have a significant imp[act on balance.My bigger concern is longevity. My devices have been used twice now and already the fixing mechanism for the orange plate that holds the spikes is giving way so the spikes will not be held as firmly. The rubber has already stretched with at least one of the holes being split. I just can't see them lasting more than a few more trips.

Brilliant.

The design ensures that the front cannot slip from the toe of the boot. So far the back hasn't worked loose either. Happy customer.
