I just retired my last pair after almost 500 km. Some of those km were on bare asphalt in between patches of snow and ice during the fall and spring when such conditions exist. It just didn't seem worth it to remove them for a few meters of bare asphalt. I retired the Yaktrax because the coils had broken and were spiraling off the shoe. They don't work well on extremely hard and cold bare ice. Unless they are very new and sharp, they just act like skates over hard black ice. But I still think they are the best solution.

Ben Im totally with you. I lead a running club and basically our whole group uses them. I love my Spikys. I did have a cheap pair my first winter and the spikes wore down in like one run. You have to get the real deal ones, don't skimp on the knock offs. Spikys! Ben Im totally with you. I lead a running club and basically our whole group uses them. I love my Spikys.

It's called the Spiky (www.spiky.com). Its all about the quality of rubber and the quality of steele they use in the spike. That cheap stuff is disposable. Im not a rep or anything just a really big fan of thier product. These look like a super cheap version of a product I have been using for years. It’s called the Spiky (www.spiky.com).
