YAKTRAX® allows Athletes To Stay Active Outdoors During Winter Months

When winter weather sets in, many athletes struggle to try and find ways to stay active outside due to the challenges snow and ice present. What more and more of those athletes are learning is that YAKTRAX, a unique winter traction device from below the ankle accessories leader Implus Footcare is ideal for avoiding slips and spills on snow and ice.

Named after the sure-footed Tibetan Yak, YAKTRAX stretches over everything from winter boots to jogging shoes. Once in place, a grid of skidlock steel coils give users the traction of the famed mountain sheep on hard-pack snow and ice.

As you walk or jog, hundreds of edges bite into snow and ice, providing stability and grip in all directions. Users can take their normal stride without fear of falling or risking injury with short choppy strides that can shorten leg muscles and tighten hamstrings.

They are the most user friendly ice traction devices for shoes I’ve ever used.”
