Why We Love This Deal
It’s been a tough winter, and people are preparing for more snow in different ways. If you know you’re going to be out, your prep has likely included warm snow boots. But if local conditions are extra slippery, or even icy, boots alone may not provide enough traction. And that’s where this pair of bestselling winter cleats that Amazon is selling for as much as 30% off comes in handy.
The Yaktrax Walk Traction Cleats were marked down heavily in recent coupon deals. Sizes that have the deal will have a checkmark to redeem the offer, which is not reflected in the regular price. These cleats were already on Men’s Journal’s radar when they were full price, as they were still Amazon’s No. 1 bestselling ice and snow grips despite being slightly more costly than the comparison, a common indicator of a high-quality product that the stats have backed up. Now that the coupon has been applied, they’ve become an appealing buy if you need more traction.
Yaktrax Walk Traction Cleats, From $15 (was $22) on Amazon
What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes Available: From XS to large
- Materials: Zinc-coated coils over a thermoplastic sling
- Material Resistances: Cold temperatures, corrosion, abrasion
- Best Use Case: Added footwear traction in snow and icy conditions.
Yaktrax’s cleats provide extra friction along your outsole for walking in the snow and ice. Its thermoplastic sling fits around the heel and toe of your select shoe, meaning it won’t degrade or crack in icy temperatures. This puts bands with zinc coils around your outsole, which dig and grip into snow and ice more effectively than typical rubber outsoles can.
Sizing will depend upon your regular shoe size. The medium, which currently has the best coupon deal (just $15), covers men’s shoe sizes from 9 to 11, making it the right fit for most people. A full size chart is available on the page.

What Shoppers Are Saying
One user said “These Yaktrax traction cleats provide solid grip on icy sidewalks and packed snow.” They also mentioned that the cleats are easy to put on your shoes and stay securely attached to your shoe without any issue.
Another common theme among Yaktrax wearers was a feeling of increased sure-footedness as they walked. A Wisconsinite, facing icy roads and sidewalks at just 8 degrees, recently said, “I feel very confident walking with these on.” A mother (the cleats are unisex) also mentioned that she felt more confident walking with her newborn while the cleats were on.
The Yaktrax Walk Traction Cleats can be yours from $15 while this deal lasts, but even if it’s not available, the regular price (which hovers between $22 and $25, depending on size) is also considered an attractive price for these cleats.
