When I put Yak Trax on my wish list for my family’s Christmas gift exchange, they thought I had lost my mind, but I absolutely love them.  It’s been very cold and snowy here in Cincinnati for the past couple of weeks, so my choices are to run inside, on a treadmill (which I clearly hate), or get out and run (which I love).  Yak Trax let me run, yet I’m not constantly worried about slipping.  Once you put them over your running shoes, you can barely tell they’re there.
