  • How to stop slipping on ice this winter: If you live in a cold area where ice on your driveway or walkway is inevitable then you might just want to get a pair of these YakTrax Pro Cleats! They will definitely help to keep you from slipping on the ice and if you are like Kathie (two hip replacements) I am sure that means a lot! Worth every penny of the $20 they cost.
    Great for hiking, running, and walking anywhere there might be ice.
    NOTE: We recommend you order a size larger than is recommended on Amazon. The small barely fit our daughters 8.5 womens hiking book and the medium was too small for our son-in-law. We suggest a medium for most women and a large for most men. Small would be perfect for children!

      Agreed. I have waterproof light hikers and definitely needed the next size up. (Women's size 9 wide.)

    Didn't really think about it till me and my daughter were on our Colorado trip and needed some help walking on the icy trails.. We rented some spikes to fit on our shoes.. What a life saver.. Thanks for sharing.. Full View Like 25

    These things work really well. I used to work at a horse farm and walking got difficult at times. Just slip them on and they are a game changer.

    A great review of your ice cleats. I have some similar but they don't have that useful strap to put across the top of your foot. I might need them tomorrow, rain overnight changing to freezing rain tomorrow and getting colder. Thanks for sharing.

    • @CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid
      @CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      For us that strap makes all the difference in the world! I don't know if it is how we walk, but the cleats without the straps kept coming off and was really annoying. Never happened with the strapped ones! Thanks so much for watching and I hope you stay safe out there on the ice! Freeing rain can wreak havoc in so many ways!

      I choose the bottoms on these because hey work on any ground type and are also good for the spring when you here when there is a little bit of everything to step on: rocks, ice, mud, snow, etc. Thanks for watching :-)

    Man, you can play hockey on that driveway. It used to be that only old people were buying such products. Now, they are becoming popular with everyone. We’re have snow here in Canada that are more like studs that bite into the ice. Those seem to work best. Be safe on that ice.

    • @CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid
      @CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      LOL. It thaws, rains, and freezes and walla, a hockey rink in the driveway! LOL We have those stud ones too and they work just as well. Have a great day!

  • @CreativeRedundancy
    @CreativeRedundancy 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    these look very useful . I dont specifically have these but i do use/have ice cleats. A lot of falls or slips could be avoided by wearing them. These or similar ones would also aid in pushing/shoveling snow as you can push more without sliding on the snow. IMHO these should part of everyone's winter gear layout especially for places that get a lot of freeze and thaw cycles or see freezing rain. No pun intended , but there's a lot of down time when people fall( pain, sore, broken bones or sprains and learning to do normal tasks differently(off hand, on crutches) which in turn can effect one's work or school performance.

    • @CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid
      @CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ice cleats are good too. There are many different kinds, some are better for different uses, but they are all made to keep us from slipping! Great in my book! True about the down time.....and we have NO time for that! Have .a great day.

Ice -fishing- drinking, sleds/snowmobiles, dirt bikes, grilling in the shanties, etc. Lol. Was a lot of fun racing up and down the lake all day on weekends hanging out with people.
