Yaktrax Sizing Tips

  • Yaktrax Walk and Yaktrax Pro run small.
  • If your shoe size is at the top of a size range, get the next larger size.
  • Get the next larger size if you'll wear Yaktrax over heavy boots or work shoes.
  • If you can't decide, choose the bigger size.

If you buy from me and run into a sizing problem, no one resolves it faster. I'll get the right size to you in two or three days, not two weeks or more.

Yaktrax Walk and Yaktrax Pro

I have limited sizes left. Before you order, read the next section to see whether studded ice cleats would serve you better.

Yaktrax Walk

Yaktrax Walk spikeless ice cleats

Choose Yaktrax Walk only if you:

  • walk on flat, level surfaces in moderate temperatures
  • will take them off before walking on smooth indoor floors
  • want a lightweight, easy-to-stretch ice cleat

Some seniors find Yaktrax Walk easier to stretch over their footwear than Yaktrax Pro.

Yaktrax Pro

Yaktrax Pro spikeless ice cleats

Choose Yaktrax Pro only if you:

  • want the more durable Yaktrax model
  • walk on flat, level surfaces in moderate temperatures
  • will take them off before walking on smooth indoor floors

Yaktrax Pro is more durable than Yaktrax Walk, but its stronger straps can be harder to stretch over footwear.

Consider Studded Ice Cleats Instead

Yaktrax work on ice and packed snow, but their steel coils aren't aggressive. They aren't effective in deep snow, slush, or on black ice, they lose grip on cold, dense ice, and you must take them off before walking on smooth indoor floors. Winter Walking ice cleats with tungsten carbide studs grip in all of those conditions. Compare them in Yaktrax vs. studded ice cleats.

Instead of…ConsiderWhy
Yaktrax WalkLOW-PRO®Just as easy to put on, and you can wear it on most indoor floors and while driving
Yaktrax ProHIGH-PRO®2mm tungsten carbide studs and a Heel Spike for the best grip outdoors

Winter Walking sizes are different from Yaktrax sizes. Use the size chart in each buy box below.

Winter Walking LOW-PRO® Ice Cleats JD6610

Winter Walking LOW-PRO ice cleats on boots

Choose LOW-PRO if you:

  • go in and out of buildings and vehicles all day
  • wear regular shoes, work shoes, or boots (for bulky boots, see ICE BEAST™ LOW-PRO)
  • find ice cleats hard to put on and take off, because you can leave LOW-PRO on all day

Why it beats coils:

  • Transitional Traction™ lets you wear them on most indoor floors without damaging them
  • 26 molded-in 1mm tungsten carbide studs grip ice and black ice
  • Self-cleaning tread for deep snow, slush, and mud
  • Easy on and off: patented Dual Pull Tabs™ and no left or right
  • Safe to wear while driving

Questions About Yaktrax Sizing

Do Yaktrax run small?

Yes. Both Yaktrax Walk and Yaktrax Pro run small. If your shoe size is at the top of a range, or you'll wear them over heavy boots, get the next larger size.

Do Yaktrax Walk and Yaktrax Pro use the same size chart?

Small, Medium, and Large cover the same shoe sizes in both models. Extra Small is available only in Yaktrax Walk, and Extra Large only in Yaktrax Pro. Yaktrax Walk Small and Extra Small also fit grade-school kids' sizes 5 to 8½ and 1 to 4½.

What if I'm between sizes?

Choose the bigger size. A Yaktrax that's too small is hard to stretch on and more likely to come off, especially in deep snow.

Can I exchange sizes?

Yes, as long as they haven't been worn outdoors. Call me at 610-670-2549, and I'll get the right size to you in two or three days.

Crucial Ice Cleats Sizing Advice

  1. You can go by the shoe sizes. However, the shoe or boot size can vary significantly for the same foot size. Option two below is a better way to select the correct size.
    (OR)
  2. Measure the length of your shoe or boot. Measure the bottom from the tip of the sole to the base of the heel. Measure on "the flat", don't wrap around. We want the length. Then, find the size on the sizing chart with the Footwear Length Range, which spans the length of your footwear. Measure carefully. Measure twice. Our goal is to get you the right size on the first try to make you as safe as possible as soon as possible.
Ice cleats sizes are unisex and fit men's and women's shoes and boots according to the sizing charts.
Always try your ice cleats on when you receive them for two reasons.
  1. You want to be ready for the bad weather. Be sure to find out you need a size exchange before the ice is on the ground.
  2. I can't do free size exchanges for ice cleats that you have used because I can't resell them.
FAQs

What should I do if the length of my shoe or boot is extremely close to the breakpoint of a size range? Should I choose the next larger size? For example, assume the length of your boot or shoe is just under 12½". You look at the specific size chart for ice cleats you're buying. Assume for this example the Medium has a size range of 11½" to < 12½" and a Large is 12½" to < 13" For regular shoes and work shoes, stick with the smaller of the two sizes you're considering. Choose the bigger size if you plan to use your ice cleats on heavier winter boots.

I plan to use the ice cleats on my shoes and boots. But they're different lengths. What should I do?
If the difference in length is small, order the size for the larger boots. Purchase the optional Ankle Strap to use when you use the ice cleats on your shoes. The ankle strap will make sure they stay on. If the difference in length is significant, you may need two sizes of ice cleats. That's because you want the ice cleats to be snug so they stay on your footwear and aligned.

I have a large company. There's no way I can measure everyone's footwear.
I understand. Go by shoe sizes. I'll be happy to exchange sizes later on. However, please make sure you haven't used the ice cleats outdoors.

Is the measuring technique 100% accurate?
Nope. It's accurate most of the time. Measuring is far superior to go by shoe size.
 

ICE BEAST Ice Cleats Sizing Tips

ICE BEAST Ice Cleats run large. Therefore, if you have a normal winter boot and your shoe size is close to the minimum of a size range, choose the next smaller size. If you have a large, bulky boot, stick with the size chart.
Ice cleats sizes are unisex and fit men's and women's shoes and boots according to the sizing charts.

ICEGRIPS™ Ice Cleats Sizing Advice

Here's my recommended approach to choosing the correct size.

  • First, find the ICEGRIPS™ size that corresponds to your shoe or boot size.
  • Second, measure the length of your footwear in inches and add ¼ inch. Then compare that length to the "Footwear Length in Inches" column in the size chart corresponding to the size you found in the first step.
    • If the length exceeds that size range, even by as little as ¼, select the next larger size.
    • If the length falls below that size range, again, even by as little as ¼, select the next smaller size.

Questions:

What if the measurement I get in the second step above is more than 14.25"?
I would not buy ICEGRIPS™.
Will ICEGRIPS™ fit large, bulky boots?
Yes. A "Bulky Boot" Strap Kit is available at an additional cost.
Yaktrax Walk sizes run small. If your shoe size is at the top of a size range shown below, you may be better off getting the next larger size, especially if you plan to wear them over heavy boots or shoes. If you can't decide, choose the bigger size.
