Yaktrax Walk traction cleats for shoes and boots

MobilityBudget-friendly

Safety level: Fall-safety / weight-bearing equipment. Check fit and installation; consider an OT or physio assessment.

Warning: Ice grip or cane ice tip: it adds grip on packed snow and ice only. Metal coils, studs and prongs become slippery on tile, stone, store floors and bare dry pavement, so take grips off and flip cane tips up as soon as you go inside. Check the size or shaft fit, make sure you can put it on and take it off safely (sitting down is easiest), and inspect it for wear or bent prongs before each outing. It does not replace good boots, cleared and salted paths, or handrails.

Who it helps

This may help people who feel unsteady while walking or standing.

Check before buying

Made for packed snow and ice, not bare pavement or indoor floors: take them off before you go inside, because metal coils slide on tile and stone. Fit them sitting down. Some reviewers found them hard to stretch on with weak hands and say the coils can wear or break with heavy use on bare ground, so check them before each outing.
Check the weight capacity, dimensions and installation requirements on the manufacturer's page.
Check return policies in case it doesn't suit you.

Limitations

This is safety equipment: a poor fit or installation can make things less safe, not more. An OT or physio can help you choose and set it up.
