 LIKE A BANANA PEEL ON HARD SURFACES! January 22, 2008

these work ok on snow and on most ice, BUT on hard surfaces like concrete they are VERY slippery. if they went on and off easily like some of the traction devices for shoes, this wouldn't be too bad. however, they are inconvenient to put back on once they are off (you probably are going to want to sit down to do it). you'll be tempted to leave them on in places you shouldn't, like your garage floor or into a tiled store. the "wrapped wire" design of the grippers act like ball bearings on these surfaces, and you risk a fall.
a redesign is warranted, which would include some rubber to contact the road and eliminate the slip.
Not what you'd expect... January 24, 2008

As someone else said already, on surfaces such as tiled floors, you must be very very careful, they are EXTREMELY slippery. Over the years I have owned three different pairs of these products. They are a wonderful idea. I live in a town that isn't too horribly big, so, I walk most of the time instead of wasting money on gas. It's better for the environment and better for my physical health. The first time I bought these we had a nasty winter, many feet of snow and below freezing temperatures which means tons and tons of thick ice. I can honestly say, that first year, they didn't last even two months before they broke. That first year, I thought maybe I had been too "hard" on them. The next time I bought them, as they were all I could find here in town, I realized it wasn't me at all. They had frozen and snapped. Now, they do work really well on ice and snow, out of all the times I've used them to walk around, I've barely slipped at all, IF at all. Only once this year. The problem is, this being the third year I've tried these things out, they snapped on me once again. They do fit over your shoes or boots rather well, they stay quite snug, but, the rubber bottoms are just too thin and the cold doesn't do them any justice. I would recommend them only if they are the only thing you can find, such as happened with me time and again. As I said, they do work REALLY well on snow and ice, but, they just don't hold up to prolonged exposure. I have since tried a new product by a company called duenorth. These are a large rubber outersole for your shoe or boot with individual spikes on the bottom. There are four located toward the front and two at the back. They even come with two extra spikes in case they break or fall out. So far, I've found that these hold up much better and do just as well if not better in the conditions I've been talking about. They are much more bulky in appearance than the YakTrax, but, if that's all you're worried about, you shouldn't be out roughing it in frozen conditions anyway lest you should fall and embarrass yourself.

I run 3 to 6 miles several times a week year around in Michigan. I bought a pair of yaktrax pro 3 years ago and use them whenever there is ice and/or snow on the trails on which I run. They have been great! They are easy to slip on over my running shoes, they stay on, and I'm barely aware of them when I run, other than that I no longer slip and slide on ice and snow. The original pair that I bought 3 years ago finally broke in one spot last week so I need to replace them. Even the break was not a big deal. One of the pieces of rubber on the bottom tore. I went ahead and ran on it anyway and it still did OK. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants to stay active year around in a snowy/icy climate.

Every day I walk for an hour or two in the woods along uneven mountain bike/hiking trails. Wouldn't want to be without them. These things really work in the snow and ice. Also help tons on my black top drive when it's icy. Lots of snow & ice this winter. I've used them almost daily for two months. No sign of wear. They are slippery on hard slick indoor surfaces. Instructions say not to, but if your careful you can walk a few feet on tile.

I regularly walk my dog in the woods on snowmobile trails that can get hard packed and icy. With my new Yaktrax I feel sure footed and much safer!
