My son bought some Yaktrax and liked them so much he bought some for me
and my wife. They are great. They really grip the ice and they are very
comfortable to walk on. You are hardly aware that they are there.

They aren't that hard to put on and off. My wife leaves hers on because
she has trouble putting them on, but I take mine off all the time and
just slip then back on only when I need then,

Be careful with the sizing. There is a chart on the side of the box. I
think there are only three sizes, small, medium and large. I was
surprised that my wife, who wears Womens size 10 uses small Yaktrax. I
don't know what would fit for women with smaller feet than that.


I highly recommnend these things.
