Is It Easy to Walk with Yaktrax?

Is There Anything I Should Check Before Using Yaktrax?
Always check you Yaktrax are on correctly before you set off. Make extra sure 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).
- There is a circular knob visible on the Yaktrax webbing covering your sole.
Which Size Is Right for Me?
The Yaktrax Walks 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.
