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 Tahoe Mountain Sports:
"The Yaktrax Pro is designed to be Easy On and Easy Off and allow you to walk naturally and safely | Spikeless and ultralight | Great for postal, construction, safety and highway workers | Also, great for runners, hikers, and the more active recreational winter athlete or the person needing to walk safely to the end of the driveway | Made with a rubber blend elastomer, 1.4mm stainless steel coils and hand wound to give you 360 degrees of traction | Comes with a removable performance strap to help keep the Pro in place during use | Available in Black only"

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 Vargo Outdoors:
"The Yaktrax Pro is designed to be more durable for the active person. Great for postal construction safety and highway workers. Also great for runners hikers and the more active recreational winter athlete. Made with a rubber blend elastomer and 1.4mm stainless steel coils and hand wound to give 360 degrees of traction. Comes with a removable performance strap to help keep the Pro in place during use. Weight: 5.1-5.5 oz/pair depending on size."

"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."
