I used these all winter to walk my dog. I did occasionally go over bare pavement because our walks would have taken forever if I was stopping to take these off and put them on. Ewhile thry worked really well I had to recoil them often. Super disappointing. I purchased a pair of the chains. I like those better because they won't break/uncoil if I walk on bare pavement. I haven't had those as long but think they will hold up better
