Product Description
Yaktrax Run Traction Cleats were designed by runners to allow users to continue running and training in winter. Run Traction Cleats attach over running shoes with a high-strength rubber foot frame that includes straps over the toe as well as over the top of the foot for additional security; the heal and side straps of the frame feature reflective material for safety. Yaktrax Run Cleats offer superior traction thanks to replaceable, 3mm carbide-steel spikes combined with a shaped-edge coil design of 1.4mm rust-resistant stainless steel coils so users can run with confidence on packed snow or ice. Multiple coil angles provide 360 degrees of traction on cold surfaces for stability in all directions. Yaktrax Run Traction Cleats have been tested in temperatures as low as -41 degrees Fahrenheit so they can be used in a variety of extreme environments. Yaktrax Run Traction Cleats come in four sizes to fit most shoes: Small (fits shoe size W6.5-10, M5-8.5); Medium (fits shoe size W10.5-12.5, M9-11); Large (fits shoe size W13-15, M11.5-13.5); X-Larger (fits shoe size W15.5+, M 14+). For oversized shoes or boots, Yaktrax recommends purchasing one size larger than your normal shoe size.

So they worked very well. My running gate with them on was normal and easy. I even forgot I was wearing them after the first few minutes. I would say that 90% of my run was on bare concrete and asphalt, because it turned out the sun had cleaned up most of the snow before folks had packed it down. So I really gave the little spikes a hard workout.
First, the YakTrax overlays did not fall off. Hooking up the toe strap and securing the velcro strap did the trick. Second, the carbide steel spikes show relatively little wear after ten miles of brutal running on the hard stuff. I imagine that if the conditions had been the other way around and I ran on 90% ice and 10% hard surface, there would be no visible wear on the spikes whatsoever. The wire coils on the rear look great too, although I am not a heel striker.
I look forward to wearing the YakTrax again the next time I want to go out for a run and I'm looking at icy conditions. They have earned my confidence on ice.
There were only two drawbacks. First, about nine miles into my run, I began to notice my left little toe rubbing on the inside of my Hoka AT Challenger 5s. I was initially concerned that my shoes were too small, but that didn't make sense since I've worn these for more than a year! Then I remembered I was wearing the YakTrax. Recall that even the extra large are tight on my size 13 foot. So I stopped and took off the YakTrax and the pain went away. So the next time I wear them, and I'm looking at a run of more than 8 miles, I will see if I can adjust the fit so that there is less impact to the soft sidewalls on the outside of my Hokas. Recommendation to the manufacturer: Please offer an XX Large. I'd probably buy that for my size 13, which would be sizing up TWO LEVELS vs. the size chart.
Second, as I said, the carbon steel spikes were stellar, and very little wear after my run. But one tiny spike, on the left Yaktrak was smashed over on its side within it's plastic support base. The metal didn't give way, but the plastic disc supporting the spike gave way, and the metal did a "leaning tower of Pisa" slanting over to one side. I weigh 195 lbs, so I probably gave that spike a massive lateral force while running on raw concrete/asphalt. Even in its bent over position, the spike is still giving me anti-slip capability, so at the moment I'm not worried.
So, overall, I had a good experience.
These do provide traction on these icy trails. The carbide spikes cut into the ice and grab on. The coils alone would be inadequate.
On the downside, the carbide studs will break off when hitting pavement or stone., and it didn't take long for some spikes to lean over in the plastic plate, some to snap out of the plates, and I even managed to lose a whole plate.
Fortunately, replacement plates ARE available, if you search hard enough, and cost around $15 shipped. Search "Yaktrax spike plate". Without replacement plates, these are not worth the $45 considering how long they lasted for me. With replacement plates, perhaps they are worth it.
For comparison, Icebug Pythos outperform these by a good measure, but are 4x the price. And the icebugs lose their spikes as well.

These are not mountain climbing spikes, so think about what kind of depth you will be working with. For winter running in typical conditions, these are fabulous.
As far as the feel as I run, I do not notice I am wearing Yaktrax unless I have to run on clear road. Then I can slightly feel something is on my shoe (Asics Gel Nimbus 15). But through snow or ice, I feel nothing and do not even remember I am wearing them.
I did not experience much difficulty putting the Yaktrax on my shoes. I have a couple pairs of running shoes, so I plan to just leave them on one pair for the winter and use a different pair of shoes for the dreadmill or clear road runs. I have removed the Yaktrax a couple times and put them back on my shoes without much difficulty. The fit on shoes is tight, but I imagine it should be so it doesn't come up mid-run.
My only concern at this point is one spike on each shoe. The spikes have shifted sideways so I am running on the side of the spike rather than the point. This happened on the same place on each shoe. I am unsure if it is my foot strike or an issue with the product, but I hope to look into fixing it. Honestly, even with the spike issue, I am still thrilled with this purchase. Otherwise, I have no complaints at all. Any product that helps keep me upright while running during the winter and is only $30 is well worth 5 stars to me!

Despite the steep price, it is simply the best option for safe winter running in Japan.
On the other hand, the Yarktrax RUN is very slippy on indoor/dry and flat surface. It is recommended to take them off before going indoor.
わざわざ本家サイトのサイズ表を参考にしてSサイズを選んだが、結果、装着途中で一旦は諦めかけたくらいにキツキツだった(最後は意地でなんとか装着)。自分のランニングシューズサイズは26cmで、たぶんMサイズを選択するが正解と思う。雪上・氷上のグリップは効きそうだが、耐久性自体はこの冬の実使用にて評価予定。
