Review on ICETrekkers Shoe Chains - Enhance Winter Traction (1 Pair) by Black Croom

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for building in the north.

I'm wearing XL over a set of Columbia Bugaboot winter boots, size 44. I work on a construction site in Boston so I always walk on ice, mud, then concrete, then Rubble then bulldozers etc. I've always used yaktrac in the past which work fine but you can't walk on them. Debris in them or rubber on the floor will cut and tear instantly. There are no problems with these. The grip is better than the Yaktrac and they last a million times longer. Pros: You are amazing. The rubber tread of my boot still touches the ground a bit so it doesn't slip or skid on hard surfaces. And the grip on ice is fantastic. And I find no complaints with them on the trunk. The chains are placed correctly so the gait isn't weird at all. Cons: Difficult to put on. I take off my shoes to put them on and leave them on all day. I use them on boots larger than recommended, but I've tried them on another pair of smaller sizes and it's the same. If you want to take them with you and take pictures often, get Yaktrac.

Pros
  • nice item
Cons
  • can't remember but there was something
