Are these that much better than the regular (walking) YakTrax? I have run in those and they seem to work. Maybe these are are more stable?

The Run Traction Yaktrax have studs imbedded in the under-sole pads....I find the Run Traction to be quite amazing for running on icy trails (in the woods) uphill or down. The walkers are fine for flat surfaces but my trails can be quite treacherous when they ice over and these things are just simply amazing! I only wish I had discovered the Runners years ago.

I'm sorry, I haven't used the Happy Trails, but FWIW I can offer some details on the Sportster. I find the three wheels to be effective and a little easier to control over curbs and grass. The larger-sized wheels (compared to the smaller Pet Gear model pictured) are very stable. You do experience vibration in the front wheel if you are walking quickly, however it's intended for jogging and with a simple snap of a button at the front axle the wheel locks and eliminates the problem. At the same time, when walking at a leisurely pace you would prefer the wheel to be unlocked and spin freely for more responsive control over those uneven surfaces. It DID fall over once (because of the three wheel configuration), but it was totally my fault- I walked away from it after knowingly perching it on a very uneven surface, balancing it between a level sidewalk and a grassy hill. Had I even set the brake, which works very easily, it wouldn't have happened, but ultimately it comes back to the fact that one has to pay attention. Personally, I couldn't be happier and will undoubtedly stay with the Sportster. it folds easily and is light enough for my wife to toss it in the trunk.

You'll be fine running with them. I haven't had a problem with them yet. Really can't recommend these enough.

I order a pair of Teeter cobra XL. I found it to be more stronger and give better support than the Blue teeter gravity. I work out 5 days a we and my Buddy just happen to have own the blue teeter gravity boots. I feel for 247 lb man hanging from them, they feel like it going to break on me. I love the cobra & my feel the same he jusst order a pair too.

Not too sure about this. They provide good traction, but maybe too good for running. Because they dig in so much, you really have to concentrate on picking your feet up. I would consult with a running expert.

Using the Yaktrax should be fine. Ive used it last winter on my icy driveway which is inclined.

No. They are ICEtrekkers brand and are much more durable than the Yaktrax my wife and I have used previously.

I use the optional attachments that help secure the buds within the outer ear, and I've never had a problem with them falling off. I use them trail running and, though I don't make sudden movements, I do look all around me and not just straight ahead.

Pretty sure they make a different version for running/ walking/climbing in snow that are more rugged,with cleats. Check out their website for more info."

Better. I ran a 50k in the socks and my VFFs. I also wear both on runs over half-marathon distances. I found my legs feel much better over the course of a run, and I have no issues when wearing them with VFFs. In fact, I'd say I prefer their texture over regular Injinjis while wearing my VFFs.

I haven't tried them out running, but for walking, they're fine so long as you keep the device within the specified range which is on an arm band. Hope this helps.

The yakgrips I have on my paddle are good ones. Not sure if they are model 200 or not. I would buy these again. In fact I have three pairs for my wife, myself and a friend to use when we kayak on the Willamette River in Oregon.

The person who told me about them is a runner. I love them and/but they occasionally slip off/need to be adjusted if very sticky ice/snow so they're highly recommended AND be cautious!

I have a pair of PMX70s and I too wanted an upgrade. I made the mistake of getting the PMX680s which sound like crap--don't waste your money on the 680s! At this point, I'm going to try the PMX90s which are probably not the best for sweaty runners, but for $22 shipped I don't mind giving them a shot. Plus I have an extra set of non-foam pads from my HD25-1 IIs which I will retrofit onto the PMX90 drivers.

Personally I think it is too squishy for running in place. I've tried jump roping and jumping jacks with it and I feel like it makes me too unstable so I use a thinner mat for stuff like that. Hope that helps :)

I have no problem with movement with these braces. I could run with the brace, although I prefer to use stability pants and use these between runs if I feel the need for additional support. You could easily run with these on and they would stay in place.

I don't know if these are good for running. If you do get these make sure to use high socks because the material of the ankle weights may remove some skin, lol. It's a little coarse. But I have the 10 lb weights even when I walk with them on I can feel it wanting to scrape my skin. Maybe another one with a wider Velcro strap that can hold it more secure. Be careful with running with ankle weights as it may not be good for your knees. Hope this helps, good luck
