Not that it matters much, but there are (at least) two kinds of yak trak... regular and "pro". The regular ones are more plasticy, the pro ones have a nicer velcro strap. Go pro, daddio. It'll help you go with the flow, don't you know. Cornholio.

Whats the longest long run anyone done with the Pro version like I just bought? Does you feet feel the difference afterwords? I'm planning 10 miles for my yaks first time use so I guess I'll find out tomorrow. Running on a asphalt rail to trail flat course which of course will be totally snow covered.

started running @ age 48 [lost 70#+, quit a 30 year pack/day habit>> ran HM] Ran a few years then quit. Gained 70#+ back and smoking like before. Time to get healthy again @ 52 years over with the C25K program and beyond again. RE-start date 1-13-14

I ran 10 miles in 3 inches of snow and yaks worked great- I love them. It warmed up during winter storm and started raining so then the snow was packed solid on last the 5 miles back. No slippage at all. Then came home and ran snow blower (1/2 hr north of my run- 3x the snow- got 8"+) with the yak on- my driveway is straight up hill- again- they work great. If they last, I'll be their spokesman ( tracking mileage of use here on RA ) However, after my first snow run ever, I can tell I'll be feeling this run tomorrow

WTG, slap-man! I think my longest has been 11, since that's usually my cap on Winter runs. They are definitely worth every penny.
