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.

The left foot side doesn't go as high as under the pedals, but does cover most of my foot (10 size), so there is a small amount of dirt that comes from the toe of my winter boot, but very little. Generally it's not a problem for me as I keep both my feet in the pedal area.

It's fine on ice, but is pretty difficult to push through snow. Kind of like trying to maneuver a shopping cart through slush.

I am using the mats on my cement walk, brick stairs and brick entryway landing. I have not seen any discoloration. I have not secured the mats but they are heavy and haved stayed in place without any slipping. They are very effective at melting snow!

no, they are expensive BUT I have cycled through 2 winters on these in fresh snow, frozen snow rutted from tyres then frozen to ice, and fresh snow on top of ice underneath and I can confirm that they are 100% confidence inspiring. They are heavy and very hard work on tarmac but once the snow is there they seem to transform into a smooth grippy ride. You can 'make' them skid but I only did this to see where the limit was. Riding on sheet ice is a revelation, but if it is just the odd frosty morning commute you are worried about then these are overkill. IMHO they are full on snow/solid frozen slush tyres. no, they are expensive BUT I have cycled through 2 winters on these in fresh snow, frozen snow rutted from tyres then frozen to ice, and fresh snow on top of ice underneath and I can confirm that they are 100% confidence inspiring.

Honestly, I got them in the Spring and plan to use them this Fall/Winter in Idaho and Alaska. But they look better than previously owned crampons I've owned. Their primary function is ice (and that's what I'm using them for). I suppose if the mud/gravel wasn't too deep then they would work. But these are primarily for walking on icy trails or streets. Cheers!

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 don't know if they are actually slip resistant but I wear them on a wet concrete sidewalk and in light, (up to 1/2 inch) snow to get the newspaper every morning. I am a senior citizen and feel quite safe in them.

we found them very slick on ice so I would imagine they might be slick on tile or hardwood as well.

These tiles have a textured side and a smoother side. The smooth side might get slippery if a LOT of water (or beverage) were spilled but I've not found them to ever be slippery with a little milk or juice spilled. And because the tiles are foam and give a little when you walk on them they are less likely to present a hazard even with water on them.

Our sidewalks are pretty torn up, and it's held up for me, havent even had to fix any wheels on it. So you shouldnt have any problems at all :)

The soles are not slippery, yes they have traction, I work outside, and I really appreciate having such a nice boot that is not heavy on the feet, comfortable and slips easily over my workshoes, I purchased the large size and maybe could have gone with medium, I take a size 8 1/2 women's work shoe, I have worn them in storms and working in the yard several times, and thank the dots for the boots further the price is right......

I haven't had that experience with them. I've walked on lots of concrete surfaces with no damage done at all. Hope that helps!

Hey,I hadn't heard about the indoor floor issue until you mentioned it. I guess it makes sense, as you have limited surface area for traction on stone and/or brick. However, I have used this on several different outdoor surfaces (including icy blacktop) with excellent results. I use these mostly for ice fishing, and they have yet to lose traction. Hope this helps.

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

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.
