I HATE ICE! I'm an all-weather runner/walker but I don't do ice without YakTrax or spikes.
My YakTrax work GREAT on ice, snow or slush, but like a few others have said, the problem comes when you run or walk on bare pavement with them. Erica - One of my running friends swears by her ice bugs Swedish running shoes. She did an icy trail half marathon in them about three weeks ago. They are sold out in my size but once they're back in, I'm splurging on them. EDITED TO ADD A BETTER LINK TO THE ICE BUGS: https://icebug.com/p/new-run-w-bugrip-blackpoison

Thank you! Those look really nice, but they are very expensive. That's impressive that your friend actually ran a half marathon distance in icy conditions with them, though. Something to consider for sure... I used to run with yak trax, but the coils kept breaking from using them on the area with no snow/ice coverage and I gave up. They worked really well on snow/ice, though. Erica |

No way. Especially here where you rarely have a sidewalk. So you'd be basically sharing the road with a driver who could hit ice. No, thanks!
