Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Yaktrax's are the best
Yaktrax's are unbeatable. They give the greatest traction in all icy conditions. I run a high mountain camp and have tried many ice traction devises. In icy conditions, CAUTION, is always the most important factor, no matter what the devise. In walking indoors all devises can be hazardous, it depends on the care you use while walking. My staff and I have used Yaktrax's for years. For inside staff, regular Yaktrax's are the best. They put them on to walk from their cabin or car to the office and pop them off once inside. For my outside staff, the Yaktrax Pro's can't be beat. They are rugged and don't ware out. The strap over the front of the boot keeps them in place in most situations. When coming inside it is best and easiest to slip the boots off and to step into indoor shoes. For long Life - take a little time - when putting "Trax's" on, make sure they slip into the grooves in the soles of the boots and if the end of a spring starts to catch, use a pair of pliers to squeeze it back into place. The Yaktrax Pro's I have on now have lasted me for three years and counting.



Customer Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great item, will buy again!
These are great! What I like best is that they are not sharp to the touch and they are not heavy to wear. Some types are sharp and I worry about hurting myself when taking them off, but these are great. I did notice a few times one would come off one foot, but I easily put them back on. I do agree that they should not be worn inside on a tile or slippery floor, you could fall down. The pros far outweigh the cons and it sure beats slipping and falling on your bum on the ice like I did before the Yaktrax!



Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Beats Falling on the Ice
This wonderful invention allows me to live in a cold climate and stay upright, mostly a problem on ice... and some types of snow. I have lived in warm climates my whole life and was very unfamiliar with freezing tempatures. I put these on and mostly defy ice/snowy conditions. My pair has lasted me three seasons and show no sign of wear. I have recommended these to dozens of people and will continue to do so. Under no circumstances can you or should you wear them inside on almost any type of indoor flooring. You will likely fall (nothing for them to grip onto) if you ignore this advice, trust me, I did while entering a Safeway. Also, they will scratch wood & laminate flooring (probably others as well). I love this product and encourage you to give them a try.



Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - yaktrax are great
I wear my yaktrax when walking or running in the early morning. I've been able to get out more often since purchasing them because I'm no longer afraid of slipping on the ice and snow. I'll be healthier thanks to my yaktrax purchase.

On paper, the Mio DigiWalker P550 looks to be an attractive gadget for the mobile professional, combining the capabilities of a PDA and GPS into one device. However, its poor battery life and subpar navigation skills tell a different story.

Though it won't appeal to the masses quite yet, the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is a nice, portable device for on-the-go Web browsing, and it has some worthy upgrades.

Though it has a few design and performance glitches, the Sony Ericsson W300i is a quality, basic MP3 cell phone.

Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.

But now, thanks to the oft-reported combo of newly-raised CAFE standards, not-so-newly-raised gas prices, and the 50-state diesel engine, GM, Ford, and Chrysler are about to dip more than a hesitant toe into the diesel game. Chrysler offers a diesel in the Grand Cherokee, but soon all three automakers will offer diesels in their best-selling lineups of light trucks -- the Dodge Ram 1500 is expected to offer a 50-state diesel after 2009. Light trucks are being used to lead the charge since those buyers stand to gain the most with the least amount of (perceived) sacrifice.

Diesels currently have 3.2-percent of the American market. Some estimates put them at 15-percent by 2015. That's a huge leap, and diesel still has plenty of hurdles. Diesels will come with a cost premium over gasoline-engined cars. That should be easy enough to conquer -- incentives and some quick cost and longevity calculations should convince people of the benefit. The real hurdle is the nagging issue of perception. The plan will probably be to attack that with a price that makes the proposition unbeatable. Said Chrysler's director of environmental affairs, "If it's priced right, we can sell diesel here. Diesel can give you an immediate poke in fuel economy -- 20 to 40 percent. Not many technologies can deliver that today."
