WinterTrax Unisex Insoles

Product Information

As you shop around for the right set of tire chains for your vehicle, you’ll notice differences in weight. Lighter chains will provide adequate traction and better fuel economy. And they’re easier to install, remove, and store. They are constructed of stretchy rubber harnesses, lightweight chains, and steel spikes on the bottom that provide mind-blowing traction. The state will be pretreating roads and bridges in anticipation of the inclement weather and officials urged residents to avoid travel if possible. Seeing as you will likely not be driving for more than a few miles at a time with chains on your tires, don’t get too worked up about fuel economy. Similarly, if you’re buying chains merely as an added winter driving precaution and don’t plan on using them often (or perhaps at all), don’t invest in the heaviest option. Regardless of your choice, safety should always be your top concern. Practice is essential! Make sure you’re dialed in on how to install chains on your vehicle so you can minimize the time you spend out in the cold, rolling around in the snow; (photo/George Wesley & Bonita D)

An automatic release can significantly decrease the amount of time you spend manually removing your chains while exposed to cold and potential hazards on the side of the road. Size Wintertrax is the cheapest version from the Yaktrax family, however this does not mean that it is a lesser quality product. On the contrary, this product succeeded in the 2011 ANWB Champion test to secure a 'good' on the test. Both its ease of use and grip are simply outstanding, however the Wintertrax product is only made in the universal shoe size standard. These Wintertrax are perfectly suited to stop you from slipping in the winter, and also have unique iron spirals beneath your shoe sole which allow you to walk comfortably. See the video below for more information about the Wintertrax.

In addition, the small Velcro band across the top of the foot makes for a worry-free, secure fit. The level of performance that you get for the price of these traction devices makes them an excellent investment. The Kahtoola product has been much more durable and effective in recent years compared to the competition. I prefer the placement of the 12 total spikes, which are 9.5mm in length and will cut deeper into ice and snow.

Commercial options for the equivalent of screw shoes include Icespike and La Sportiva AT Grip Hobnails . Unless you’re running exclusively on snow and ice throughout the winter, it’s arguably easier to have a pair of lightweight traction devices like the Yaktrax Pro to put on any pair of shoes you want to use instead of dedicating a single pair to winter running. Tire Size Affects Fuel Efficiency: Changing to an alternative tire size may change fuel economy metrics due to energy absorbed through traction effects within each wheel revolution from vehicles using different tread patterns than originally applied during production if it’s not well suited for similar surface terrain. To compile this review, we looked at the top options on the market, recording key specifications about each model. We then selected the top products for hands-on testing, which included trail running, wood splitting, shoveling, and walking on sheet ice. We made notes and recorded our findings every step of the way, getting to know each product intimately. We trekked through deep snow and walked across icy parking lots to score each product's traction. We put each product on and took them off countless times, both with bare hands and gloved hands, to score ease of use. We pulled and pushed the products around our shoes to see how securely they fit once donned. After all this testing was complete, we scored each product on how well it performed across a wide range of activities, and we searched for signs of wear and tear.
