    Hoping someone might know where is best to find these IRL

    or if anyone knows somewhere that does fast/reasonable postage online?!

    These ones the Yaktrax Pro are what I was recommended:

    Would hardware shops stock these does anyone know? Racking my brains trying to think of where else I might have seen them before. No mountaineering/outdoors shops near me.
    I have a Sports Direct not too far away, worth a try does anyone know?

    Worth a shot asking maybe, ha, thanks!

    Keep an eye out in the middle aisles of your local Lidl/Aldi, they usually have them at some stage and might magic them up before next week

    I've seen them in Dealz and Mr Price type shops, unless you are going on holidays to a icy region they'll be suitable

    Just on the off-chance someone else is looking for the same thing this week, I bought the Yaktrax Pro from Viking Marine for 22.95 plus delivery, reduced from 29.95

    WELL WORTH IT!

    The paths outside my house are very slippy anyway, but also there are a lot of slopes, and just to get the dog out for the toilet a few times a day, I'd pay twice that for the comfort of these. Not a hint of a slip or a slide

    I'd definitely size up if I was buying them again, even without boots (just chunky runners) they're a little small.

    Gonna buy some for both of my parents now, even for a week or so a year, they offer peace of mind when it comes to slips or falls
