Hi, I have just bought a spare pair of shoe snow chains from: http://www.autow.co.uk/snow_chains/shoe_chains_prices_253.html These are chains rather than the stud type on the yak ones from qvc. I can say they are excellent, comfortable to wear and they do the job. the cost was 21 quid inc p & P plus vat and they use paypal as well.
