What will happen if I wear the Yaktrax on other surfaces such as concrete, gravel, sand, carpet etc..?
It is very dangerous to wear Yaktrax on polished or shiny indoor surfaces such as vinyl, linoleum, tiles, marble, or polished wooden floors. You are likely to slip badly if wearing Yaktrax on those kinds of surfaces. Soft surfaces may also be scratched by the Yaktrax. Carpets with loo[ed pile and coils do not mix on safety grounds because there is a risk that the end of a coil, or a coil itself, could get caught in the loops. Gravel can easily get caught up in the coils causing damage to the Yaktrax. Walking on hard concrete, tarmac or other surface will cause the coils to bite into the supporting matrix and will also cause damage to the Yaktrax. Yaktrax are designed only to be worn on ice or packed snow.
