Yaktrax are nice I have about a dozen pair all different sizes for ice fishing clients of all ages and sizes. They are a great fairly inexpensive add on that provide decent traction when there is no snow to fill the springs. For the money they are a great buy. I myself would go through at least three pair on my feet per season as I do a lot of walking and not so much atv/snowmobile. So I decided to try Kahtoola micro spikes. They are twice the price initially, but I have had the same pair starting into the 3rd season of use this season. Much more aggressive traction, much better made with heavier rubber bindings, and better resistant to snow build up. I really like both yaktrax and kahtoola and own both, but kahtoola is what stays on my ice boots. I wish you a safe and exciting ice season!
