I am amazed that they are still selling. My experience with Yaktrax is exactly the opposite of the above commenters’ — in my opinion, they are almost completely useless.

Crampons, which these look like, albeit a smaller version, have their place, but for everyday use in the winter Yaktrax can't be beat. I especially think older folks who have to venture outside would benefit from them. I use them everyday in the winter walking my mutt.

I've used Yaktrax, which are less aggressive, but also lighter and cheaper (~$20) and they are amazing: you can jog across a sheet of ice with complete confidence. Those look snazzy.

They look like they do the same job, pretty much. The microspikes look a bit more flexible though.
