Yakety Trax

[rich_jacko]

I tried out my new Yaktrax this morning on the walk into work. They're brilliant! After a while I started deliberately walking on the slippiest-looking patches of ice I could find - No problem! How have I not discovered these things before?

Sadly I didn't need them for my walk home. Is there much snow left up Crookes / Walkley way? It's all looking rather melted down here in the valley. :o(

If there is, I have one question for tomorrow:

"Do you wanna build a snowman Hideous Zippleback?" ;o)

Which ones do you have? The genuine Yaktrax I looked at seemed like they would wear out really quickly on non-icy pavement, I have a generic rubber and chain arrangement and they work really well but they do need sturdy footwear as you end up with quite a bit of heel to toe compression going on

I have the genuine Yaktrax. I'll see how long they last!
