Review on Yaktrax Ski Boot Tracks Traction Cleats (1 Pair) - Enhance Traction and Protection for Skiing by Troy Jennings

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great to walk with, but they fall off, can get lost. The general consensus is that they break in the middle, here's the fix for that.

Good news: I love running in it. My shoe size is at the top of the range of sizes I've purchased so they are likely to run out. Buy them small if your size is "teen". In addition, clearing snow from the trunk is of great importance. The catch is that, especially if you lose one of these while out walking in the snow, you might not realize it's gone. I had to follow in my footsteps again. I found myself looking down every few minutes which was driving me insane. I riveted the strap and buckle so it will now pop open behind me when it's gone. As for the reported problems of cutting the stretchy midsection, it's obvious why this happens: Stepping on a sharp rock or curb on your instep can cause even a small cut to move. I used contact glue to tape a piece of the bike's inner tube around the center section to protect it (don't glue it to the SkiTrax, just wrap the inner tube around and glue it to itself). When folded, they are quite large. Too big for my jacket pockets. I hide them in the snow and then I find them.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Upgrades
