These are excellent for hard pack snow and even ice (with care). An excellent design feature is that they still allow decent foot traction when on non snow covered surfaces. I have a pair off LL Bean "stabilicer" cleats which are very poor when you encounter a non snow or ice covered surface.

I would buy these again, in fact I already have since I misplaced one on my first pair!

This is the second time I have purchased the Yaktrax. I don't know how anyone could possibly snow blow their driveway without them. When walking down a slippery driveway the Yaktrax are a must! Absolutely NO SLIPPING when you are wearing these in snow and on ice. They are wonderful -- but do not wear them on ceramic tile. You will fall.

I love them, They do what I thought they would do when I got them. They keep you from falling
on the ice and snow. I have no problem walking on either one without falling.

Yaktrax Pro Traction Cleats give great traction on both packed snow and ice, the two most hazardous surfaces to walk on in the winter. They are easy to put on and take off, so they can be carried in a pocket or in the car and used as needed. As a senior citizen who is not always sure of his footing, I will not leave the house in the winter without my Yaktraxs...they are great, and give me confidence and security on difficult surfaces.

This is our second pair of Yaktrax. We had to attach small bungee cords to our old pair as occasionally we would lose them in deep snow. We were thrilled these new ones have the velcro strap. One still has to be careful on black ice--very slippery--same as walking on a tile floor.
