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.

yes, they are still. that's because that have to support your weight. but they do not restrict your movement. great things. I work walking 12 miles a day delivery the mail house to house. hope that helps.

I have not experienced any issues when I go out walking or jogging, but that is the extent of my exercising. I do not do much weightlifting, although I wear these things all day long and haven't had issues with them falling off. During work I only hang one side since my headphone for work uses the other ear. :)

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.

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

I use them for running. I ran a trail 1/2 marathon in them last year in icy conditions and they worked great. Very good on ice and hardpack snow. In deep, soft snow they don't help much.

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.

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

I have not used them very much in the moving style. I got them to use on myself and for that purpose they work beautifully. I do move them some with no issues.

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

I find they are very adjustable and don't leave much wiggle room for them to fall off at least when I go jogging. I don't think you'll have a problem getting them to stay on when biking. Less vertical shake than when jogging usually. -Andrew Y

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!

I'd say no. 1. These won't stay on the way you want. (Especially if you're doing kicking drills etc.) They slip and you'll spend more time being annoyed and adjusting than training. 2. The material is cheap. I kept having to come up with new fixes for these. Now they just sit in my closet. Actually I might as well throw them out. 3. They're actually not that heavy. I've worn combat boots that were heavier.

They are excellent for running. They do not move at all. But if you lift weights on a bench the behind the head style may not work. Oh yes they sound excellent.

Hmm. That's odd... the old version kind of "floated" behind the neck. I was worried that they would bump into my neck, or that they'd fall down, but they floated very well, and worked like a dream unless I was running on real ground. Maybe you could try a different position? But, if I'm hearing you right, there is no loss of reception (sound cutting in and out) when you're running outdoors and constantly moving? --if so, where did you position your music player?)

Which new ones are you referring to? I have the gripper ones and they're pretty good, they do provide extra grip but if you don't get them loose enough, they start to dig into the webbing between your thumb and palm. But then if you don't get them tight enough, they could fall off. They're pretty good but I can only speak for the gripper ones
