"My size L cleats are perfect."
"These are great for walking on the hard-packed ice that happens in New England after we have several freeze-thaw cycles and all the hiking paths become skating rinks."
"Gripped the ice well, but note, take them off before going inside of course not only to protect your floors, but while they offer traction on ice, they'll actually be very slippery on a tile floor."
"They make me feel safe and secure as I track down my icy sloped driveway here in New England and I have been able to walk my dog on icy trails without any slips or falls."
"We regularly got severe ice storms and all our roads were quite hilly, so for 10 years, all 180 of us tried every type of ice cleats we could find, from very expensive professional quality crampons designed for glacier climbing, to very low budget ones. As a result, we became very familiar with the quality and durability of the different types of rubber used in ice cleats. Unfortunately, as soon as I stretched the rubber of the Stabilicers, my heart sank because the sides were so extremely flimsy, just like all the other rubber cleats we had tried over the years."
"Caused me to walk on the outside of my foot and throws my balance off."
"I pick it up only to realize the front rubber strap snapped."

"I used these bad boys after it snowed a whopping 2 inches in Portland, Oregon the other day."
"Impus performed very well with my order of Yaktrax Walk Traction Cleats (various sizes)."
"His shoe size 13 , mine 8.5. but they work fine on my tennis shoes for just around the yard."
"It basically is a configuration of spiral notebook metal on a rubber grid, but combined with your natural body weight, digs enough into the snow/ice on the pavement to give you some extra traction."
"Amazon's price was much lower than anything I could find locally."
"One cleat broke within 30 mins on first day clearing icy driveway."
"I would happily give these a 5 star review, but - after just a couple of weeks of not very heavy use one of them broke."

As soon as the temps begin to hit freezing, we each keep a pair of shoes, with YakTrax attached, by the back door, & neither of us goes out without them. While you can switch the YakTrax to different pairs of boots/shoes/sneakers, I think it's better to have a few pair available just to make sure you don't leave home without them."
"I just went for my first run in the Yaktrax. I found that one of the hardest things about running in the snow had been the feeling of running in sand where not all your momentum propelled you forwards. Friends, it's going to be a long cold snowy slushy winter followed by an equally cold snowy slushy spring."
"However, after slipping around too many times with these on, I have decided something with microspike type bottoms is needed to get a safe level of traction in this scenario. The traction seemed good, not crampon level, but still very good."
"I ordered a medium and they were stretched so tight over my size 11 sneakers that I couldn't put my shoes on for fear of snapping the cleats. Even my dad who has smaller feet than me was unable to use them on his boots so I had to return the pair for a size large. In the past while running on snow covered streets there would be slipping and hesitation at opening my stride or picking up my speed which is a good way to get hurt."
"I threw these on over my boots, and was so pleased at how well and secure they fit over my shoes and how well they gripped the ice so that I could safely take all the garbage out to the curb, otherwise it was far too icy to walk."

"We strung our hammocks with these in a recent foray into Zion National Park ... they worked perfectly."
"I was nervous, at first, about trusting a flimsy-looking wire gate to hold 240+ pounds of man and hammock, but that concern proved to be quite unwarranted."
"I plan to purchase more of these carabiners to upgrade my children's and for other odds and ends... like my keys!"
