How Do I Put Yaktrax On?
Offering convenience in addition to efficacy, the Yaktrax Pros only take a few moments to put on. Simply sit with one leg over the over, then put on your Yaktrax starting from heel to toe. Finally, secure the safety strap over the front of your shoe.
Is There Anything I Should Check Before Using Yaktrax?
The Yaktrax need to be applied correctly to prevent the risk of damage and user injury. Before setting off, 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 coils sit flat against the soles of your shoes and do not go past its edge.
- The outer band rests against the outer edge of your footprint (this should not be caught on the sole).
- The strap fasteners should sit on the outer edge of your shoe.
- There is a circular knob visible on the Yaktrax webbing covering your sole.
Which Size Is Right for Me?
The Yaktrax Pros are available in four different sizes. To find the perfect fit for your shoes measure the circumference of your shoe's footprints. Shoe sizing can also give you an indication as to which Yaktrax size will suit you best, but always take circumference into consideration first as the walking aids will fit on your shoes' exteriors.
