Slip-Proof Switchable Soles

Yaktrax Run Converts Regular Runners into Snow-Treading Kicks

Yaktrax, one of the leading companies in producing traction products in the world, has released a sturdy, yet compact product to combat snow called Yaktrax Run.

Yaktrax Run makes this feat a lot easier by simplifying the design to a simple net-looking add-on. By slipping on the net on top of runners, the shoes are immediately converted into stable slip-proof kicks that can walk on ice or tread through snow. It even comes with removable cleats. Once released, the products were immediately snagged by leading sports retailers who knew this item would be surefire hit. There's no need to contemplate sizes here as Yaktrax has designed this product to be one-size-fits-all.
