Steel Chain Shoe Straps

The YakTrax Summit Straps Put Additional Grips onto Any Shoe

— July 5, 2017 — Fashion
Having the right footwear to tackle whatever task you're endeavoring to do is key to ensuring success, so the YakTrax Summit straps are intended to help turn any shoe into the optimal one for climbing. Securely strapping to the bottom of your shoes, the straps work by incorporating a series of steel chairs and sawtooth spikes that work to ensure you can get through whatever terrain you encounter with ease.

The YakTrax Summit straps are ideal for use on uneven terrain and will also provide premium traction on snow and ice to make them perfect for avid hikers or climbers. The traps are the design work of the BOLTGROUP in collaboration with Kurt Rampton and can be purchased in several size options to suit your shoe perfectly.
