An adequate snowshoe for the price. By Snowbound in AK from Southeast AK on 04/27/2009 Pros: Good Traction, Lightweight Cons: Difficult Entry & Exit, Fall Off Easily Best Uses: Flat Terrain, Icy Conditions, Rolling Terrain Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The binding system could be improved. They are slow to put on and take off and the straps are WAY too long. I had to cut off 6 inches of extra strap. The straps sometimes work themselves loose and fall off. They are decent snowshoes for the price and for light hiking, but if you are doing long hikes on varied terrain, these probably aren’t the right shoes.
By Sweetness from Flagstaff, AZ on 03/06/2009 Pros: Attach Securely, Easy Entry & Exit, Good Traction, Lightweight, Stable Best Uses: All Terrain, Deep Snow, Flat Terrain, Icy Conditions, Off Trail, Rolling Terrain, Steep Pitches Describe Yourself: Getting Started Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These shoes work just as expected, I don’t think they can get any better for the price. I have not has any problems with mine, I have about 16 hours on them so far (got them in Jan) and they are working perfectly fine. The only complaint I have is that on the longer hikes the webbing gets a little sloppy and loose. Otherwise great, I would totally recommend them.
Good snowshoe if you like getting wet By Denmaster from Oconto, WI on 03/01/2009 Pros: Attach Securely, Compact Design, Easy Entry & Exit, Good Traction, Lightweight, Stable Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The only thing I did not like about the snowshoe was the live response hinge. While it may lift the tail for greater speed and mobility, each lift throws snow on the back of your legs. Even gaiters won't keep you dry. I'm an off trail user so these don't work for me. I returned the showshoes and replaced them with a rotating hinge style snowshoe which let the tail drop as you walk, allowing snow to shed off the back. The rotating hinge style work perfect for me.
Great Value for Beginners By New showshoer from Nevada on 01/18/2009 Pros: Attach Securely, Easy Entry & Exit, Good Traction, Lightweight, Stable Best Uses: Flat Terrain, Icy Conditions, Off Trail, Rolling Terrain, Steep Pitches Describe Yourself: Getting Started Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: We bought three pair to take to Yosemite in December while many of the trails were closed because of snow. These snowshoes worked great. I probably could have gotten away with a 22 instead of the 25 because I didn't have much extra weight in my backpack and I weigh 110. Still, they were lightweight enough to do the job for beginners like us.
I would buy this product again. By Mrs. Athletic from La Motte, IA on 01/14/2009 Pros: Attach Securely, Compact Design, Good Traction, Lightweight, Stable Best Uses: All Terrain, Deep Snow, Flat Terrain, Icy Conditions, Off Trail, Rolling Terrain, Steep Pitches Describe Yourself: Getting Started Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These snowshoes were gifted to my dad, who's retired. The bindings aren't difficult to get on, but do require a little time to secure properly. Dad had a great time snowshoeing with us and didn't seem to have any difficulty manovering with these. In fact, we were lucky to keep up with him! I've already recommended these to other family members and friends! Enjoy!
Great value for the price!

By Searching for winter fun from Framingham, MA on 12/31/2008 Pros: Attach Securely, Good Traction, Lightweight Cons: Difficult Entry & Exit Best Uses: Deep Snow, Off Trail Describe Yourself: Getting Started Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: My first time out I found the bindings a bit of a challenge. It was very cold and the straps couldn't be adjusted with gloves on. The second time I didn't have to make as many adjustments so getting in was easier. The shoes worked fine and were a good value. I had a great time and no problems once I got past the bindings.
Returned day after Christmas By Snowshoer from Green Bay on 12/29/2008 Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Our 15-year old son opened these Christmas morning. That afternoon we adjusted the straps for his boots and went out for his first and last hike with these snowshoes. Three of the rivets popped off, allowing the decking to detach from the frame. When we returned home, we noticed one of the rivets had fallen off in the living room... before we even hit the snow. They were shipped back the next day and we will never purchase this brand again.

As the boys grow into the next size, we pass them along and buy new Redfeathers as needed. Redfeather was great about replacing worn bottom grips.
