A staple of slapstick humor, slipping and falling is a lot less funny when it happens to you—and the risk goes up in winter. After testing 14 different traction devices on water-slicked ice, hard-packed snow, and slippery hills on wintry city sidewalks and forested trails, we've identified the Yaktrax ICEtrekkers Diamond Grip cleats as the best for walking on a number of surfaces. You might also find this set sold as simply the Yaktrax Diamond Grip; they’re the same, so pick the one that’s cheaper.
