Crampons

[Doris8]

Hi does anyone run with cleats (crampons) on bottom of trainers in the ice or snow on roads? Been snow and ice and sleet on and off today think for rest of week as well and have cleats , so could use them incase of slipping .

No, but I like the idea!

I use them for walking so can’t see any difference for jogging , probably wear down the cleats on the roads. Can only try😀🥶

I’ve just ordered yaktrax from my local outdoor shop, they are hand delivering them tomorrow. A younger runner in the village suggested them, well she actually suggested much cheaper ones but rightly said they’re difficult to get just now, and the next day our outdoor shop advertised these with home delivery so it seemed a no brainer, support local and get them immediately. They will do for walking too. Happy running 🤗

Think mines are a bit like that make an awful noise on concrete like tackety boots 😂

Does yours have coils and studs on them mines only got metal cleats. ?

I've been using Yaktrax for some years, I can't say I need them often but when it is really slippery and icy they are brillant.
