I purchased a pair of the Ice Traction Aids to replace my Yak Traks. So far, they feel secure while walking on slippery sidewalks. The jury is out on how long they will last as I'm wondering how long it will take for the spikes to dull down and no longer be effective. Easy to pull on over my hiking boots and looks like they won't slip off like Yak Traks tend to do.

HIghly recommend them. I live in an area wth weekly snows, which then melt and turn to ice on our walkways & roads. So I keep these on my boots for great traction. --> Order a size larger than your shoe size to make it easier to put them on. For ex, I wear a women's 7 1/2 boot, & bought the medium. If you order too small, they more difficult to 'install'. The small is best for women's size 6 1/2 and below.

Mea Culpa; When I purchased my all purpose traction aids (Due North) from the Warming Store, I did not register, so probably no verified purchase will show. But the WS keeps sending me eMail ads. My FIRST Sure Foot (Due North) traction aids it was on late night shopping trip to the flagship store of LLB in Freeport Maine. They cost about $9, and the large size fit over my size 9 LLB Maine Guide (rubber bottomed) leather boots. I used those every year except '97 when recovering from bypass surgery. I used the snow blower on our difficult steep driveway in NH virtually every storm, sometimes several times. I Never slipped, and they never came off. Several years after retiring I stopped using the shovel & blower. First Norm, then Warren took good care of the driveway. I still used the Sure Foot cleats for getting around, out to the store(s) and daily trip to the PO. After 'bout 10 years I replaced a couple of the carbide individual spikes. I had the original two replacements that came with the produce. Just bought another set of 6 for about $3. I still have those original Sure Foot cleats and will use them again next year, after they went missing for 3 years after our move to here in OH. No rips, tears, and all the spike holes still hold the replacement spikes tightly in place.. The originals were made in the USA, the two sets of all purpose that I bought in the last 4 years are from China. The rubber compound feels the same, and they have performed as well. Down here we have a lot less snow, but still have ice covering the sidewalks and drives. This 74 y/o does not want a FX Hip.

this is my second pair they great.

I had my first pair for 5yrs, after landing flat on my back stepping out of the car on to a sheet of black ice. I never even think about falling with these, their great, and at 60 I don't want to fall like that ever.

Have not used the ice aid yet but they seem well made.

I run in the winter , these are my second pair.i never feel unsure of my footing with these!! Highly recommend , they will not throw off your gait like some others .

This is the second time that I have purchased these ice spikes. The first time that I purchased them, I bought 3 pair (myself, husband, daughter) and they worked great! They're easy to put on and they grip the ice when your walking and they prevent you from slipping and falling. They make you feel secure when your walking on ice. My girlfriend has osteoporosis and takes the train to work and whenever we have ice storms her fear of falling is intensified because the train stations are never shoveled well or salted. I had loaned my ice spikes to her and she liked them so much, she kept "forgetting" to give them back. She actually ordered a different brand for herself, didn't like them and continued to use mine. When I asked her for mine back, she gave them to me and then made mention that she had some, didn't like them, and I asked me if I wanted to switch. Hence, I just told her to keep mine and that I would order another pair. Upon the receiving the "new" pair, I gave them to her and got my old ones back. lol Who would give someone a "used" gift?

Have had several different brands of these type cleats. This is the best by far in staying on your shoes or boots because they come up over the toe & heel. I'm probably on my 3rd pair. I usually get about one & a half winters out of a pair. I don't always remove them & they wear out from walking on pavement.
