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.

It comes 2 to a package. I will say they're great on ice and snow but, they don't last very long. I went through one pair in a month.. A friend of mine suggested stabilicers, i got a pair at the end of last winter season but i haven't tried them out yet, they do look like they're last longer though.

I used mine for both car and city skating today. Also use it for jogging and XC skiing.

I got the QG 2828, which is for more icy roads than snowy roads. It has "tits " on each link and would not advise running these on just snow! To answer your question, when you login to Amazon, serch the tire chains, and it should have a link somewhere on it so you can ciew tire sizes. If you live where the roads are icy, then yes, the QG2828 would be your ticket. Regular chains for the front. Cause 30MPH is the fastest you will be able to go with any chains. Any more questions, feel free to ask! Enjoy

not sure what they are intended for but I use them for running just fine. The reali diamond trekkers that have cylinders in them, not chains

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

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.

they are cheap....check out this link; http://www.rei.com/product/838205/atlas-elektra-923-snowshoes-womens no poles but better shoes... and if the brake REI will replace them.... you can get old ski poles at A garage sale or crags list.....

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

I saw a brief video (perhaps @ the vendor's site?) which had a nice demo. Near the end of the "run" just do a little "fling" up. I find it works great with dry or wet snow. Just did a search - this demo looks good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9GgYKtBE9Q. PS: I also got the gravel attachment. Hope this is helpful. All the best. Pat

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 would suggest a size Medium. Remember Yaktrax are for walking ONLY on snow or icey surfaces. YAKTRAX NEED TO BE REMOVED BEFORE WALKING ON TILE OR OTHER SIMILAR SURFACES.

Probably OKill for those. Depends so much on what you want them for. If hiking with them pick a pod based on weight is my advice.

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.

I bought them as a gift for my sister law who runs and leads jazzersize. She likes them and uses them. Hope that helps.

about to find out in a couple weeks :)i don't have high hopes for them, offroad tires aren't usually that great for snow. i prefer to use actual winter tires, like my bridgestone blizzaks. i bought these Nittos as a summer set.

If you don't mind sinking into the snow a little it should be fine and you can buy the snap-on additions, which are really hard to get on and off, and they seem to help. I think so much depends on the conditions you will be trekking in ... really light powder these are not the best choice but in the north east where the snow is often deep but heavier and sometimes crusty these are awesome and any kind of hard-pak or ice these are the absolute best ... I absolutely love mine! Have fun -
