I've just bought a set for my Sister. They appear to be very well made, and closer to a climbing boot sole, than the original Cat Track type rubber or plastic ones.
They have a bolt adjustment for BSL (Boot Sole Length), with a slight stretch to hold them onto the boot. I guess the main issue will be finding somewhere to store them while you ski, unless you have a access to a ski locker or wear a backpack.
They haven't been used on snow yet, but they will be next week.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I carry a back pack, looking at them for my other half. Also wonder what they might be like for Austrian apres ie on tables

Aside from the main tread, they also have much harder 'pins', to provide additional grip. I'm not sure if these are metal, or just a very hard plastic. If they are plastic I expect these pins will wear away quiet quickly on any paved surface.
I can't comment on the coefficient of friction on beer soaked tables though

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@PowderAdict, how are the ski tractions working out?

Working perfectly, they provide much higher grip levels than ski boots, and are easy to put on and take off. Highly recommended, if you have somewhere to store them, or use a back pack.
You’ll need access to a large screwdriver or similar to adjust them, so don’t wait until the first ski day to fit them.
I can also recommend the Sidas Walk Traction, which fit walking boots, and provide mini crampon like grip for walking boots.

Do they perform equally well at resort level ie on pavements as they do on snow?
