We have had a very rough winter here at our farm in Northeastern Kansas. Snow, ice, blizzards you name it, we have had it.

After falling a few times in the walk from the house to the barn, I purchased a pair of YakTrax pro shoe crampons.

Oh, they worked beautifully. I felt safe. I felt secure. I could walk around the farm, checking on animals, without fear of falling.

Now, I walked carefully, I was not incautious. But these worked wonderfully.

Unfortunately, after only two weeks of daily use, the curled wire broke on one of the YakTrax.

I suspect it is because under the snow, under the ice, we have a gravel driveway and a gravel road. These might work fine for you if you stay off any gravel, even though it is under a cover of snow and/or ice. But I don't think they were built for really tough use in a farm situation.

So, if you are only going to use these walking on maybe a paved, snow-covered driveway or sidewalk, or only on your snow-covered lawn, they are probably fine. But if you live out in the country and have a lot of gravel underfoot, don't buy these, as disappointment will soon follow.

My husband bought my Yaktrax for me about seven years ago when we moved to the mountains and had a very icy driveway. After just one use, I was amazed at how well they worked. We no longer live in the mountains but still have a steep driveway which can be quite treacherous during the winter months. Even when the driveway is a sheet of ice, stranding our cars in the garage, I can walk down to the mailbox without any trouble. This review is for the Yaktrax Pro only....the cheaper version has "wimpier" crampons that are not as effective, as a friend discovered after our last snow in December. As I said, my Yaktrax Pros are seven years old and still going strong...I can't imagine a winter without these nifty devices.

My wife walks our dogs through heavily wooded terrain in all kinds of weather. She was introduced to YakTrax by fellow dogwalkers who swore by them. She was cautioned not to walk on asphalt or concrete in them, as they will break in those conditions. I've bought a pair, and they saved my back on several occasions. I once went out on ice with my husky without them, and fell and was in he hospital for several days. Ice is no joke! Read the instructions, take care of them, and they will get you through a tough winter. You can't ask for much more for $27.00.

Honest reviews on YakTrax Pro Traction Cleats for Snow & Ice - YakTrax Pro for Running

Not sure what the last reviewer was smoking, but I love mine. The non-pro version has a tendency to come off, so if you do anything in deep snow or in the backcountry, get the pro version. They're worth it.

These really help on ice and packed snow. When tromping around in the wintertime and I'm not wearing snowshoes, these a pair of gaiters are standard fare.

I bought these for my husband. He wore them three times, and on his third walk with them, one of the cords running under the sole of the foot broke, making it unwearable. I thought Yak Trax were supposed to be rugged. These were not.
