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.

They work but the wear out
I used these for running on trails up a mountain in the winter. Melt runoff refreezes and forms a glaze over rocks, like an icy waterfall down the trail.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.
