Half my journey to work is on ice and snow. The other half is on cleared, concrete sidewalks. Are they slippery on sidewalks that have been cleared.

Yaktraxs are great they work on ice and snow. I have worn them on the drive way with out slipping at all, i am sure it the same on concrete.OF course they will wear out quicker on concrete. They are easy to put on and take off so it may be better if you take them off.

They are fine on cleared concrete and brick, but be careful on any slate or ceramic tiles, as those can be slippery.

That was how my commute to work was. Half was in ice and snow and the other on sidewalks. These were perfect for that. I took them for an intense hiking trip around a bunch of frozen waterfalls - not good for that at all.

No. The YakTrax are ok on dry pavement, you will just shorten their life. I always get an extra pair.

My experience with the cleats has been great traction on ice and snow. I did not notice any slippage on cleared asphalt or concrete. However inside they are very slippery on hardwood and laminate floors so I recommend taking them off as soon as you enter a building.

They dig right into the ice on the blacktop. I don't put them on until I'm ready to step outside. They could be very damaging to floors

My Parents both use them for walking up and down snowy and icy steep blacktop and have told me that it is the best product they have used and that they feel stable on their feet. The heavy duty ones are a little more stable but these seem to do the job too.

not really sure they have been on my car for about a year and faced snow and ice and are not pitted or damaged in any way. Only challenge I have experienced with these is getting them synced with the vehicle system (GM). Local installer was not able to get the working.

Not so great in snow or ice. Snow tends to gather in the bottom treads, and that takes away any traction.

I can just tell you that so far in my short experience using the safe way traction slip stair treads on my outside concrete steps i am completely satisfied. I have a bad hip and have a hard time with stairs. Since putting these treads on the steps i use the steps with much more confidence. They have lasted thru days of rain and i have kept me steady on my feet. I hope that helps. Be safe.

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.

Mine was the same as the picture shows. Not slippery at all with barefoot or with shoes.

I have these on a 2wd truck and we only get snow 2 or 3 days a year where I live. I was at work once when it started to snow and using cable chains on the back I was able to get home by the time it was 1" deep. On my trip I stopped at the grocery store (which wasn't out of the way at all) and bought milk and bread and some canned items (the canned items were in case the power went out). I was able to get into and out of the grocery store parking lot with minimal trouble even though it has a slight hill. My next truck will be four wheel drive.

Hello Lisa: I have an 85lb Samoyed who slips on wood and tile floors and he will not step on them without his boots on. As you know Florida does not have much snow...so I do not know if this will transfer from floors to snow. But he and I are well satisfied with the boots.Have a great and Blessed day.Kreutzer

FRANK, also make sure you use some/all of the grip sand with the clear, or when wet / snow etc. it will be like GLAIR ICE / very slipply / if that will be an issue for you. PAUL K.

The stabilizers do a great job on ice and snow. When you wear them in on a hard floor you might keep in mind that you can slip.

My sidewalk has some uneven cracks. I push down on the handle to get over them. Don't know about grass but it might be OK if you lowered the skids all the way down.

The only experience with uneven ground included rough sidewalks. I had to pay particular attention to bumps where one wheel stopped. I would think this would be the case for all knee walkers. I normally limited my use to paved surfaces or floors in buildings. Still love the unit though. This is my second one (I sold the first thinking I wouldn't need it again). This one I'm keeping. Hope this helps.

not super well, the wheels can slip a little bit, however, I simply put some grip tape that you can buy here on Amazon or at a local hardware store and it solved the problem. It works great outdoors on the sidewalks though without the tape

The bars themselves are smooth powder coated. The step areas have holes similar to a cheese grater to provide traction and a solid footing in rain, snow, slush, and ice. Have them on my '11 4Runner, love them. Only annoyance, is the step area does get a lot of snow and slush stuck on it while driving in the snow. But a little stomp with your foot will clear them off.

They are kind of a hard rubber but pliant. I've seen them slip on polished concrete. Be aware of surface differences.
