Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"Regain your confidence when walking on packed snow and ice with the updated, simple-to-use Yaxtrax Pro traction devices. For walkers, runners, hikers and other winter athletes, these strap easily to the bottom of your shoes, reducing the chance of falls. Abrasion-resistant, hand-wound stainless-steel coils cover the bottom of your shoes to bite into packed snow and ice; increased spacing between coils prevents binding. Yaxtrax Pros offer ten times the gripping points as any spike-based traction device. Natural rubber is used to hold the devices together, giving them durability and strength. Removable performance straps cross over insteps to help keep them in place during use. Updated heel tabs and strands, outer bands and toe bridges work to provide a comfortable, secure fit; impact nubs improve durability in high-wear areas. Easy to use, even in extreme cold—just hook over your shoe's toe and stretch over the sole."

From Ramsey Outdoor:
"The Pro is ideal for the person needing increased durability while working, running or enjoying outdoor activities during the winter months. The Pro still has a simple design and effectiveness as the Walker with the unique 360 degrees of traction with every step you take."

From GearX.com:
"Made of a natural rubber blend, the Pro is great for the more active winter enthusiast."

From EMS:
"Easy to pull on, this sturdier version of the Yaktrax Walker boasts a steel-coil system that digs into ice, preventing wipeouts on glazed driveways. Just hook over shoe toe and stretch over heel to secure in place. Works on both shoes and boots. Remove Yaktrax before walking on smooth indoor surfaces. S: Men's 5-8.5; Women's 6.5-10. M: Men's 9-11; Women's 10.5-12.5. L: Men's 11.5 - 13.5, Women's 13 - 15. XL: Men's 14+, Women's 15.5+."

"I’ve had my Yaktrax Pro traction devices for two winters now and was relatively happy with them for winter trail running, despite some limitations, until I got a pair of Kahtoola MICROspikes to test this winter (see my review of those). Now I’ll rarely, if ever, go back to my Yaktrax Pros."
