I wanted to purchase them to run in, I'm training for a 1/2 marathon &amp; yaktrax all sold out. Are icetrekkers intended for running, or only walking/hiking?

You can very much run in these!! We had them tested for both running/walking together.

I'm not sure of the answer, but if you go to their website and do the contact us link, they responded to my email question within 48 business hours and were very thorough. I definitely think they will be sturdier than yaktrax.

They would work excellent. They come with a sticky set of feet that screw on and are very durable. My wife specifically used these for snowy, icy days this last winterand they provided excellent stability. They are very durable.

I think they would be excellent for running. The silicone grippers do a great job of keeping them in place.

I bought bontrager Rxxxl carbon shoes.bontragers top of the line shoes! I was able to find these in my size on almost half price sale in Asheville where I live. 320 dollars retail I paid 180...these are my first shoes and like them. But they are my first pair so... they work well with the pedals but I would recomend getting carbon sole shoes but you don't need three hundred dollar shoes with these pedals! ...

I use mine for walking but I think they would be just fine for running. You can get the low padding ones to avoid bulk.

No, They are just for sledding on a sloped hill... the go fast and maneuver really easy for little kids... my grand daughter who is 3 does fantastic on steering it... comes with a tow rope that attaches to the front ski so it can be pulled by a regular gas driven snowmobile too... They are GReat !

I use them for caving and they work great. I haven't run in them, but they are fairly large and probably would impede running.

They have good tread but I've never used them in snow or on ice. I think the design would be as good as any i've seen for those conditions.

I would get either a pair of Solomon's that have very good traction or get a pair of the rubber cleats with the small metal spikes, but only if you absolutely have to run on ice.

They work extremely well in snow. In ice, you'll need to fit them with chains and maybe load them......

Sorry i just walk my dogs - no running. I would have thought they would be ok, but depending on the thickness of the soles of the shoes you are using you might feel the studs so it might not be very comfortable after a while. They are very stable though so you wouldn't slip!

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."

Sorry...I am not an ice fisher. In fact, I am a 76 yr old woman who has had both hips replaced. Fell four years ago on black ice while walking my dog & broke my wrist. Thus, my fear of falling. Not fearful any longer a long as I'm wearing these trekkers. Still have a dog ( my third retired racing greyhound) that I walk 4-5 times each day. I live in a Chicago suburb & we've had a "powerful" winter...still, no problems.

i do nor use them for ice fishing. i walk on an icey road 1/2 mile roundtrip for the mail 6 days a week and they are great in any ice.

I have used them on ice/mud/gravel mix and they should be fine for mud/gravel only. You can also try shoes that have a Five Ten Stealth (sticky) Rubber sole. I have used some from the Five Ten company that are great on stream crossings, mix of snow/rain/mud/gravel while hiking.
