Hi Carol,
Yak tracks are I think the ones with little spikes on the
bottom of the shoe. (Available from QVC) I have used
these and although they make quite a noise once you come
off the snow, for example you go into a shop or the bank,
they make a clicking noise as if the spikes were sticking
into the floor. They are great in snow and on ice. The
snow chains which I use at the moment are small chains
crisscrossed over the bottome of the shoe these are held
in place with rubber straps which are placed onto the
shoes. They grip snow and ice to prevent slipping. They
don't make the same clicking noise as the yak ones. Very
comfortable to wear and both are easy to fit onto the
shoe.
HTH
Jim.

Mary, I've missed some of this thread.
How to Yaktrax differ from other snow chains and, if you
have seen and/or used both, do you think they're better?
