Yaktax Shoes Provide Traction In The Winter

If you enjoy outdoor exercising, you probably know the frustration of dealing with ice and snow. They make surfaces slippery, and you have to choose between staying fit and dealing with possible falls and injury. Fortunately, you don’t have to give up your favorite activities in the winter time. Using yaktrax shoes (also called Yak brand ice creepers by some), you’ll be able to keep your footing, even in the middle of the ice and snow.

Unlike snow and ice spikes, which may catch on pants legs and other clothing, Yaktrax use coils to help you stay stable. Yaktrax shoes slip neatly over almost any type of outdoor shoe, and stay in place, even while you’re running. Use of coils instead of spikes mean that there are a lot more surfaces to bite into the packed snow and ice, preventing slipping. They give you more stability on slippery surfaces than ever, and are functional to temperatures as low as minus forty.

There are two types of Yaktrax shoe available on the market. The first is the Yaktrax Walker, which is easy to put on and take off. Made of a thermal plastic elastomer formed in an injection mold, and rust proof springs that offer three hundred and sixty degree traction, these Yak brand ice creepers come in four sizes for each gender, to get a good fit no matter who you are. Yaktrax Walkers can be purchased for around twenty dollars.

The other type of yaktrax shoe you can buy is a bit beefier, and provides even more traction. 1.4 mm steel coils resist abrasion and rust. Combined with a heavy duty natural rubber and a patented coil design, the Yaktrax Pro will keep you up and moving, no matter how bad the weather gets. Unlike the Yaktrax Walker, the Pro comes in adult sizes only, and is not available for children. Sizes range between men’s size five to larger than a fourteen, and a women’s six and a half to a fifteen and a half. This means that the Yaktrax Pro should fit just about anyone. However, if you have unusually small or extremely large feet, be sure to try one on before you buy, just to make sure it will fit. You can purchase the Yaktrax Pro for around thirty dollars.

If you’ve had to put up with inactivity during the winter months till now, the wait is over. Yaktrax shoes will provide you with the stability you need to get around in the ice and snow, no matter what you prefer to do. Whether you’re a runner or just someone who wants a little extra traction, check out Yaktrax.
