Product Information
Full details
The Yaktrax Pro Ice Grips are for outdoor enthusiasts who want to maintain their activity on snow and ice. Their key benefit is providing 360° traction without relying on sharp spikes, allowing for safer movement. A potential caveat is that they are designed for packed snow and ice, and may not perform optimally on dry pavement or loose gravel. These grips feature a patented skid lock coil system, a durable rubber blend, and an ultra-lightweight design for comfort and secure fit.

FAQs
Are Yaktrax Pro Ice Grips suitable for running?
Yes, the Yaktrax Pro Ice Grips are designed to be lightweight and secure, making them suitable for running on packed snow and ice. The 360° traction helps maintain stability during jogging.
Can I wear Yaktrax Pro Ice Grips on dry pavement?
It is not recommended to wear Yaktrax Pro Ice Grips on dry pavement or hard surfaces. They are designed specifically for snow and ice, and using them on other surfaces can reduce traction, wear down the coils faster, and potentially damage the surface.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided. The grips are sized for different UK shoe ranges (Small: 4-6½, Medium: 6-9, Large: 9-12). Ensure the grips fit snugly over your footwear.
How long do Yaktrax Pro Ice Grips last?
The lifespan of Yaktrax Pro Ice Grips depends on usage frequency and the conditions they are used in. Proper care, including rinsing and drying after use, can help prolong their life. The abrasion-resistant coils are designed for durability on snow and ice.
Do I need to wear them with specific types of shoes?
Yaktrax Pro Ice Grips are designed to fit over most types of footwear, including winter boots, hiking shoes, and athletic shoes. The key is to ensure a snug and secure fit over your chosen shoe.
What is the difference between Yaktrax Pro and other models?
The Yaktrax Pro model features the patented skid lock coil system for 360° grip and uses an abrasion-resistant steel coil. Other models might have different traction mechanisms or be designed for different types of activity or terrain.
Troubleshooting
Grips feel loose or shift during use.
Ensure you have selected the correct size for your footwear. Use the removable performance strap to secure the grip more tightly. Make sure the grips are centered properly on your shoe or boot.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces.
Yaktrax Pro Ice Grips are optimized for packed snow and ice. Traction may be reduced on dry pavement, gravel, or extremely slick, sheer ice. For such conditions, consider removing the grips.
Grips are difficult to put on or take off.
Stretch the natural rubber material gently. Ensure the front of the grip is correctly positioned over the toe of your footwear before stretching the back over the heel. Warming the rubber slightly in cool temperatures can increase flexibility.
Coils appear to be rusting.
The steel coils are designed to be abrasion-resistant but can show surface rust if not properly cared for, especially after exposure to salt or moisture. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after use and ensure they are completely dry before storing. Surface rust does not typically affect performance.
