From REI:
"Add traction to almost any shoe with Yaktrax, an easy-to-use accessory with an updated design for greater durability, traction and comfort. Rust-resistant, hand-wound coiled steel presses into ice and snow with every step, offering a stable, sure grip and a natural walking stride. Yaktrax offer ten times the gripping points as any spike-based traction device. Lightweight, textured polyelastomer stretches to accommodate nearly any type of footwear, from running shoes to winter boots. 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 on toe and stretch over the sole; no straps or buckles. Low profile makes it easy to walk naturally while wearing Yaktrax. Not for indoor use."

"A friend and I bought these at an outdoor store. We used them on one hike where the trail was covered by ice, snow, and a few exposed rock sections. Before the day was over, the rubber in both pairs was sliced in multiple places, rendering them virtually useless."
