I've used YakTrax Pro for a few years. They work ok, but don't last long. The rubber straps on the bottom break and then the springs used for traction get all distorted. But they were comfortable while they lasted and worked well for my purposes (not doing any climbing or major rock scrambling).



I got a set of Kako ICEtrekkers this year, but we haven't had any real snow since our freak October 31'st storm, and the ground water hasn't even frozen over. So no reports on how well they work, but I hope that using chains on the bottom instead of rubber straps will last longer.
