abwsco Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 What's the proper name for those rubbery spiky things that you can put over boots and shoes. As it's been boiling hot here today I feel like being organised for winter this year and getting some now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 There's a brand called Yak Traks, or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Dav Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Amazon sells a variety of snow grips - out of stock of the yak ones though...... obviously the yaks are preparing for winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 http://www.yaktrax.co.uk/yaktrax-shop.php Egluntyne has some and found them invaluable in the last freeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I bought some last year . The snow melted just as they arrived . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 They are brilliant. Tiny word of caution though, take them off when you walk over smooth internal floor, they become lethal then. I'd order them now and have them ready for the next freeze, as they sold out very quickly last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I bought my Yaktrax a few years ago and then didn't need them until last winter - they were brilliant when I did get round to using them! I tried to buy some for my Dad but as soon as the snow arrived thewy were all sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
