What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 11, 2026

The YakTrax Spiky is a traction device that stretches over the outside of your shoe, with small steel spikes that bite into ice and snow so you're less likely to slip when walking outdoors in winter. A rubber heel tab helps you pull it on and off, and there are no buckles or ties to fasten. It fits over any style of shoe and won't get in the way of driving. This is the medium size, made for shoe sizes 8 to 10. If you wear large work shoes, boots, or insulated footwear, order the next size up.
