Yaktrax Walker and Yaktrax Pro
Yaktrax, named after the Tibetan yak, are light weight ice grips worn over your regular walking shoes, winter boots, jogging or running shoes when walking on packed snow and ice in winter.
Everyone on ice treads carefully but it isn't always enough. Accidents on ice & snow are common in winter and even the best winter boots or walking shoes need extra ice gripping power. Running and jogging shoes offer little grip on ice snow but with Yaktrax Walker or Yaktrax Pro you carry on running or jogging in winter as you would the rest of the year.
Anyone who has to walk on icy pavements is at risk of slipping and falling on ice. Yaktrax are the perfect gift for the keen jogger, commuter, outdoor workers, dog owners, the elderly and indeed anyone who has to or wants or needs to walk on icy pavements as easily as they would under normal conditions. See the American Geriatrics Society article on how Yaktrax reduced the number of falls and severity of injury in a study of elderly Americans in winter conditions.
The Yaktrax range includes Yaktrax Walker and Yaktrax Pro.
Yaktrax Walker in black, orange and green. Yaktrax Pro in black only. Yaktrax Pro is similar to the Yaktrax Walker but with extra safety strap for those who do a lot of walking, running or jogging on ice and packed snow in the winter.
Yaktrax Pro is available in 3 sizes and Yaktrax Walker in 4 sizes including extra small to protect your children from accidents on pavements covered in ice or packed snow. For winter boots or chunky walking shoes you may need the next size up if the size is borderline. For running, jogging and regular walking shoes the size guide applies.
