Are these that much better than the regular (walking) YakTrax? I have run in those and they seem to work. Maybe these are are more stable?

The Run Traction Yaktrax have studs imbedded in the under-sole pads....I find the Run Traction to be quite amazing for running on icy trails (in the woods) uphill or down. The walkers are fine for flat surfaces but my trails can be quite treacherous when they ice over and these things are just simply amazing! I only wish I had discovered the Runners years ago.

Well, you lucked out. The Ice Trekkers (diamond grip) are MUCH more durable than YakTrax. For really steep icy conditions, I use my Khatoolahs, but that's maybe 5% of the time.

I haven't tried them for trail running. I fish a lot from shore and tried them on slippery rocks, they worked fine but didn't hold the abuse. the chain broke away from the rubber holes. I don't recommend them if you're going to put them under a lot of stress. they might work just fine to walk from house to car or from parking lot to store.

I use them for jogging, but I am not doing anything longer than 6-7 miles. I use them on fairly structured trail running shoes (goretex) so that the upper rubber band that holds the metal chain part does not collapse the shoe or put pressure on my foot. I can, over some miles start to feel the pressure against the sole, but that would be true of any traction device. I broke my ankle running on ice two years ago, and I am not taking any chances.

I use them for jogging all the time. They are more stable than the ear bud earphones I had. They may feel a little heavy and sweaty after you run for some time, but otherwise they're fine. I just ran a half marathon with these on my ears and had no issues whatsoever.

That's hard to say for each person may be different. They do come with different sizing buds to make customizing them easier. I know when I got them and used the ones that were already on them, they felt good but when I ran on a treadmill with them, they would slide out after awhile. I played around with the different sizes until I found the combination that works for me.

I went jogging a few times with them and they seem to stay put... I wear glasses too. Hope my experience helps you. Thanks.

I don't know if these are good for running. If you do get these make sure to use high socks because the material of the ankle weights may remove some skin, lol. It's a little coarse. But I have the 10 lb weights even when I walk with them on I can feel it wanting to scrape my skin. Maybe another one with a wider Velcro strap that can hold it more secure. Be careful with running with ankle weights as it may not be good for your knees. Hope this helps, good luck

I mainly use them on an elliptical. I also use them while lifting. I've yet to have any issues of movement. They stay in place very well.

Sorry I missed this earlier. I hope I'm not too late. I would believe so. I exercise in mine regularly. Though I am not a runner. They hold in place quite well.

Pretty sure they make a different version for running/ walking/climbing in snow that are more rugged,with cleats. Check out their website for more info."

I think they would be excellent for running. The silicone grippers do a great job of keeping them in place.

I would suggest a size Medium. Remember Yaktrax are for walking ONLY on snow or icey surfaces. YAKTRAX NEED TO BE REMOVED BEFORE WALKING ON TILE OR OTHER SIMILAR SURFACES.

Marc, Yes, and my husband put them on for me as a gift. I wanted them because I was too "chicken" to use the clips...I love them...did 22 miles today and my speed improved. Perhaps because my foot wasn't sliding around.~from Andrew's wife!

We only use these on a computer, so I'm not sure how they'll function with movement. I can see them maybe working on a brisk walk, but they might be shaky for a run.

they do not fall off when running. I John several times a week and they don't move it all

Yes, they definetly do, you can run and jump, and they won't fall out. I looked them so much I got two pairs.
