Omlet cube and run

at Amazon in size large in black at £10. Did post it on my Preparing for Winter thread but thought it worth a thread of it's own. Linky

Thanks for this. I've noticed the nights drawing in so it won't be long....

I slipped on a piece of ice a few years ago & have been phobic about walking in snow ever since (nothing broken but had concussion & still suffer with my neck & back because of it); I nearly lost my job as I refused to go into work because of it last year! These will be a godsend, thank you!

I have 2 huge hills and a route that no buses travel along to get to work (if the trains on the south coast line aren't brought to a standstill) so I'll be getting some of these to go with my new walking boots I bought in the sale yesterday (£23!) but the ones they have in my size are the same price as buying them direct from the yaktrax site so I'll just go with whichever one is cheapest on shipping.

I'm just the same - nearly 9 years now since I badly dislocated my knee joint after slipping on ice........Yaktrax are brilliant on packed snow but I still won't go out when it is ice without snow.

 

Thanks for the link - I bought some for my Dad last year and now my stepfather has moved back to the Midlands from right on the Anglesey coast I'll get some for him as well, he'll have forgotten what snow is!!

I hope to get some of these in preparation for winter but my shoe size falls between XS and S. Would I be better to go smaller or larger? Just wondering as I have not bought anything similar before

They look to be rubbery stretchy things, so I would go with XS if it is still within the XS range stated.

I am a size 2.5 and have size 3 muck boots. I found the small ones to be fine.

I can be anything from 3.5(sandals) to 5 (in trainers) but that sounds like the small ones will be ok. Thanks. I was a bit worried if I got them too big they would ping off injuring those in the vicinity!

[The Dogmother]

They don't ping off provided you fit them properly, good instructions on the Yaktrax site

Ok,thanks. I will need to keep a look out for a good offer on the small size

[abwsco]

Just been reading a long term weather forecast (predicted the last four winters correctly) and he says it's going to be as bad again this year or even worse

[Sam]

I love the snow, especially when it's all snowy outside and you're sat inside next to the fire

It wasn't too bad here last year.

[The Dogmother]

I usually like a bit of snow bit it hung around for far too long in January

 

Still, I have enough wombled wood to see me through about 2 winters
