Ideal for daily winter walks, work, and outdoor adventures, they provide reliable grip without bulk, ensuring safety and confidence in every step. ## Description Yaktrax Traction Chains for Walking on Ice and Snow provide durable, yet comfortable, traction for prolonged use on icy, snowy surfaces. TIG welded steel links ensure durability of the chains, even in the most rugged conditions. Each case-hardened, square-shaped steel link has 90-degree edges that bit into ice, ensuring slip-free walks. The low-profile ladder pattern design provides enhanced heel-to-toe traction, without a lot of bulk, and the natural rubber sling remains elastic and secure, even in sub-zero temperatures so that they are easy to take on and off regardless of the weather. Yaktrax Traction Chains are ideal for daily use, work, and safety applications. Available in four sizes to fit most shoes and boots, including insulated footwear (Yaktrax recommends adding one shoe size for regular boots and two shoe sizes for insulated boots): Small (fits shoe size W5-7, M5-6); Medium (fits shoe size W7.5-10, M6.5-9); Large (fits shoe size W10.5+, M9.5-12.5); X-Large (fits shoe size M 13+). Sold as a pair. Review: I believe I am one of the *most* qualified people to review these chains. Why? Because I'm Australian. Ice is not my natural predator. I don't understand it, I don't expect it, and I have fallen on it many many times in the past. I need all the help I can get, and if a product is no good, I WILL end up on my butt. Wore these chains around the icy towns and tourist locations of Norway and Iceland. I was also with a senior (late 70s) who has never experienced these conditions before. Neither of us ever slipped, while people around us not wearing chains slipped and fell. We both felt that these did an excellent job for the basic conditions we were in (pavement, iced over paths in national parks, etc). I felt sure on my feet and they provided good traction. They were also easier and more comfortable to walk on normal pavement with than the crampons that have actual spikes on them, and didn't feel like they were damaging the path. THEY DO RUN SMALL. The size guide says my boots should fit into an S. I had to return an S, and an M, before finally fitting into an L. Review: They do not slip off your shoe at all they stay put and give pretty good grip on ice and snow . the worst thing about most of these things is when you have to walk on bare cement . well these are pretty good on the sidewalk they do are not to noticable at all feel pretty good on bare cement as well . I have bought two pair also have the pair rubber with the metal studs they also stay on the shoes . But man on cement the studs flex feels a little unstable i got used to them but out of the two pair like these better for snow ice cement not sure if they will stand up only wore them twice so far ## Features - Durable, low profile traction cleats fit over shoes and boots to provide superior traction during prolonged use on icy, snowy surfaces - TIG welded steel links ensure durability in the most rugged conditions; square-shaped links have 90-degree edges that bit into ice - Low-profile ladder pattern design provides enhanced heel-to-toe traction, without a lot of bulk, ensuring slip-free walks - Natural rubber sling remains elastic and secure even in sub-zero temperatures; easy to put on and take off - Available in S, M, L, and XL to fit most shoes and boots, add one shoe size for regular boots and two sizes for insulated boots; sold as a pair ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01IB76EUS | | Brand Name | Yaktrax | | Color | Black | | Coverage | Ice/Snow | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,235) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00096506085214 | | Included Components | Chains ice trekkers | | Item Type Name | Yaktrax Chains Ice Trekkers, Medium, Black | | Item Weight | 0.66 Pounds | | Manufacturer | DryGuy | | Manufacturer Part Number | 8521 | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | 8521 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Size | M | | Sport Type | Walking | | Style Name | Medium | | UPC | 096506130716 096506085214 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Yaktrax - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Size:** M - **Sport:** Walking - **Style:** Medium ## Images ![Traction Chains for Walking on Ice and Snow (1 Pair) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pEWA6EznL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by W***E on 19 January 2025* I believe I am one of the *most* qualified people to review these chains.
