Is There Anything I Should Check Before Using Yaktrax?
Once you've put your Yaktrax on, it's a good idea to check that they have been applied correctly to prevent injury to yourself or damage to the product. Please check that:
- The word 'heel' or 'toe' on your Yaktrax are pressed against your shoe (they should not be visible or the device is inside out).
- The diamond beads sit flat against the soles of your shoes and does not go past its edge.
- The outer band rests against the outer edge of your footprint (this should not be caught on the sole).

How Do The Yaktrax Diamond Ice Grips Work?
The chains of the ice grips feature a number of diamond shaped beads, which have sharp edges that cut into snow and ice. This helps to increase the grip your shoes provide especially in areas where the beads are concentrated, like on your forefeet and heels.
Can I Walk On Pavement With the Yaktrax?
The Yaktrax Diamonds are designed to cope with bare pavement or other non-snow or ice covered terrains, you should still limit the amount you walk on them. This is because consistent use on such ground can lead to damage to the product, or discomfort for the user.
Will Snow Get Caught In the Yaktrax Ice Grips?
Each bead on the Yaktrax Diamonds swivels independent of the others, ensuring snow will never be caught in the chain. While the sharp edges of the beat dig into snow to increase traction, they won't insert themselves far enough to become stuck, so you won't have to worry about this either.
