Is There Anything I Should Check Before Using Yaktrax?
Before going anywhere with your Yaktrax, make doubly sure they are on correctly. Please check that:
- The word 'heel' or 'toe' on your Yaktrax cannot be read on the heel or toe of your shoe (this means they are inside out).
- The coils are sitting flat against the sole of your shoe and are not sticking out past its edge.
- The outer band consistently grips the outer edge of your footprint, all the way around your shoe (this should not touch the sole).
- There is a circular knob visible on the webbing of your Yaktrax covering your sole.

How Do The Yaktrax Run Snow and Ice Grips Work?
The vast majority of running shoes don't provide enough traction to allow you to travel safely over wet and slippery surfaces. The Yaktrax Run Snow and Ice Grips use a combination of criss-crossing steel coils spikes to increase this traction without slowing you down.
Can I Walk On Pavement With the Yaktrax?
The Yaktrax should not be worn on indoors or on surfaces that are not covered by snow or ice, including pavement, gravel or ground that has been salted and cleaned of snow. Instead, always try to remove them before stepping onto these types of terrain.
