Yesterday, I reviewed the SCC radial chains I bought for my car. Today I’ll discuss traction for your feet.
My wife bought us each a pair of Yaktrax Pro Traction Cleats and we had a couple of opportunities to test them out after some snow on Saturday night and again Monday morning.
They are really easy to put on over boots and equally easy to take off. I was extremely impressed with the traction provided yesterday when I was shoveling snow out from around the mailbox. I did not slip at all.
When my wife and I tried them in wet snow on Sunday, we both experienced some caking of snow on the bottoms of our feet. However, the Yaktrax Pro packaging says they are designed for ice and packed snow, not wet snow.
The Yaktrax Pro Traction Cleats are a reasonably priced product that works as designed, providing excellent traction on packed snow and ice.
