BE WARNED!!!! I bought two pairs (one large and one small) of these based on the excellent review and I was initially very happy with the Yaktrax.  Sadly, one month in and my wife let me know the velcro straps on hers broke at the stitched seam that holds the stainless steel buckle ring in place.  I inspected my pair of large had have noted significant wear in the same location, and it will break soon.  Looks like a bad manufacturing run.
