What makes YakTrax so popular?

I am a self-proclaimed klutz. Truly. This is something about myself I once hated and tried to deny, but it was to no avail. This problem only became worse when I moved to a climate with harsh, snowy winters. I had falls resulting in serious injuries two of my first three years here. Just when I was determined to stay shut in my house any time it looked like there was a possibility of snow or ice, my friend shared with me her favorite winter product: Yaktrax.

After using this incredible product, my confidence was renewed. These easy-to use traction devices fit over shoes or boots and are incredibly lightweight. I use the YakTrax Walker every time it snows. The Walker is the original version of Yaktrax and is great for pedestrians, the elderly, business people, or anyone who wants greater stability on ice ice and snow. I have a pair at home and keep another in my car so I always have a set on hand while walking to and from work, school, or even the mailbox.

The Yaktrax Walker is made of an injection molded thermo plastic elastomer designed for easy off and on and the hand-wound coils give 360 degrees of traction on ice and snow. With every step, hundreds of biting edges are in direct contact with the ice beneath my feet, providing forward and backward as well as side to side stability.

My next Yaktrax purchase will be the Yaktrax Pro from MyFashionCorner.com. Similar to the Walker, the Yaktrax Pro provides excellent stability on packed snow and ice with a Velcro strap across the top of the foot to help hold it in place.




If you haven't tried Yaktrax yet, you are missing out. They also make a great gift for your older parents.
