" ... Hope to avoid falls this year! ... "
" ... I was concerned about getting the recommended size for regular shoes as I wear a men's size 8 (small) and I also have size 8 Columbia boots - one pair that are ankle height and one pair for deep snow. ... My small size YakTrax fit on all three pairs (see photo). ... "
