My parents and I are still using yaktrax from over a decade ago. We only use them when really needed. They walk their dog four times a day for about ten miles total no matter the weather, so these have seen some mileage, but not true daily wear. I got the ones with the velcro over the top and they usually just stay on an older pair of boots used only on inclement days.
As I am worried about not chewing up my deck too much or sliding when I get to where ever I am going on the days I am worried about sliding, I just ordered boots with Vibram® Arctic Grip for most of the family. For things like getting to the car or across an icy parking lot and then into the office they seemed like a good option. Supposedly they only keep that level of grip for 250 miles, but given how most non-resolable shoes wear I guess that is manageable. Of course I am still wearing Hightec boots I bought 25 years ago as the goodyear welt construction has allowed me to have them resoled.
