Comments about Polar-Trax Traction Device: These were good in the woods in snow not deep enough for snowshoes. They're fairly easy to get on and off. I was sent two left ones, but since I've been told I have two left feet, it worked out just fine. I had trouble crossing an icy brook; they don't seem to bite into ice well.

Comments about Polar-Trax Traction Device: After first pair broke and putting new set over my Keen Targhee hiking boots I thought maybe these were actually sized for runners and not boots which have larger footprint. So maybe the first set broke because I have them overstretched.

Best Uses
Comments about Polar-Trax Traction Device: I haven't had a chance to use these much but they seem well-suited for icy worn path and sidewalk use. The medium fits a womens size 9 boot very tightly. A large might work better but then again, it might be a little loose. Comments about Polar-Trax Traction Device: They just don't keep you from slipping on ice and hard pack snow. So what are they good for? I have no idea. Comments about Polar-Trax Traction Device: Opted for these to save a few bucks and with the hope that they would take the abuse on the trail. It wasn't so. On the first two hikes they slipped over my heel multiple times (13 size shoe, large sized traction device, the size that was reccomended). On the third hike the wire holding it all together broke on both of them. Good for the driveway, cannot hold up on the trail. Comments about Polar-Trax Traction Device: These are really good on the ice and snow! We deliver newspapers in the middle of the night and it gets really slippery. These are really good. These really lessen the chances of you slipping on the ice. Pros

Comments about Polar-Trax Traction Device: Polar Trax were very easy to mount on boots and seem like they would be extremely durable. Provided good traction on packed snow. Traction on solid hard ice is poor both on a trail or lake surface. Lateral stability is also poor since the traction beads can actually spin on their connecting wire. This makes traversing a slope very treacherous if you are on a solid surface like ice or even bare ground. Comments about Polar-Trax Traction Device: I have tried many of these type of products. The Polar Trax are great for the following reasons: Comments about Polar-Trax Traction Device: Worked great on compact snow/ice on trails up to the top if Mt.
