These micro crampons are quick to attach and provide added grip on snow and ice while hiking on well-trodden paths in winter.
Yaktrax says:
Yaktrax Pro traction cleats instantly provide better traction, confidence and safety for walking, jogging, or hiking on packed snow or ice. The Pro's low-profile, patented coil design provides 360 degrees of traction on slippery ice and snow, giving stability in all directions and allowing users to move about naturally as they would normally have on dry surfaces. Made of high-strength, abrasion and rust-resistant 1.4 mm steel coils and heavy-duty natural rubber, the Pros are durable and easily conform to the shape of any boot or shoe. For oversized shoes or boots, Yaktrax recommends purchasing one size larger than your normal shoe size.
Our Verdict
Designed for winter treks on well-trodden paths with ice and snow, these micro crampons are quick and easy to attach to any shoe. They arewere a game-changer, providing added grip on snow and preventing slips on ice. These are not a substitute for "real" crampons on technical mountaineering routes. However, I recommend using hiking poles in any conditions that require the Pro Footwear Traction, especially on descents.
