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.
By big don from harlowton, montana on 03/02/2009 Pros: Attach Securely, Compact Design, Good Traction, Lightweight, Stable Cons: Difficult Entry & Exit Best Uses: All Terrain, Icy Conditions, Off Trail, Rolling Terrain, Steep Pitches Describe Yourself: Advanced Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: i added "stops" or "buttons" on the ends of the straps because otherwise the straps slip out of the buckles. otherwise exellent. i worked in the woods for many years for the u.s. forest service. i used snowshoes in my work, and these would do well for that use. i now use the "shoes" recreationally. they work well as a compromise between hi-flotation and light maneuverability. i weigh 250#, so great soft-snow flotation is NOT practical. the claws give great grip on ice and steep snow.
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 snowshoe for the price! By Adirondack peak snowshoer from New Paltz, NY on 02/26/2009 Pros: Attach Securely, Easy Entry & Exit, Good Traction, Stable Best Uses: All Terrain, Flat Terrain, Icy Conditions, Off Trail, Rolling Terrain, Steep Pitches Describe Yourself: Advanced Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: A great pair of snowshoes for the close-out price! Nice bindings and very good crampons for steeper pitches and side slopes. These snowshoes are somewhat heavier than other snowshoes I've used but not enough to be a big negative, just note that lighter-duty snowshoes for "recreational use" tend to also be lighter weight. I like the powder-coating on the crampons which should help avoid ice buildup underfoot but haven't been in conditions yet to see how well that works.
By Steve the Snowshoein' Rabbit Hunter from Kalamazoo, Mi. on 02/25/2009 Pros: Attach Securely, Compact Design, 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: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: A friend recommended Redfeather snowshoes to me. He told me that Sierra Trading Post was having a great sale on them. When I checked online and discovered not only a great price but that I received an additional 20% off for being a first time buyer I just had to order them.
I live in Southern Michigan and we've had lots of snow this winter. I enjoy rabbit hunting and the only way to get around is with snowshoes. I go off trail in dense cover and the compact design is great! Plus they never come loose!
I am 100% satisfied with my Redfeather Alpine snowshoes.

They didn't throw up as much snow as the other brand we have. Good price.

By Yooper from Calumet,Mi. on 02/24/2009 Pros: Attach Securely, Compact Design, Good Traction, Lightweight, Stable Best Uses: All Terrain, Flat Terrain, Icy Conditions, Off Trail, Rolling Terrain, Steep Pitches Describe Yourself: Advanced Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: STP had great deals on these snowshoes.Rating snow shoes for differant conditions with temperatures,humidity,altitude and a large host of other variables is a roll of the dice at best.Add to that various different human variables like height,weight,fitness level,expectations,experience and other things too numerous and varied to list.
The Inuit (Arctic Native People) have something like 75 words for snow that describe different types of snow that they encounter.
That being said,it's hard to figure out what conditions someone else will be using them under and the human variables.
I've had these 2 weeks and have used them 11 days.I'm retired and live in Upper Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula and we have 250 inches of snow so far this year[that's a normal year].I've used them on rolling and wooded terrain,on trails and off and my wife and I climbed Mt.Houghton last week.That was pure backwoods bushwacking with few trails and some steep-40 deg. sections.Snow conditions were powder that had a short thaw a week earlier so it had some crust.I found that the bindings held well and the crampons were great.The climb was about 850 feet vertical with a longer approach-total time 4 hrs. Yes they do kick up snow onto the backs of your legs,not much of a problem with gaiters or nylon hiking pants.
Buy them and try them on at home and get used to the bindings before you go outdoors and use good sense and you should enjoy them at STP good prices.
By Out in the Snow from WYOMING Rocky Mtns. on 02/24/2009 Pros: Attach Securely, Easy Entry & Exit, Good Traction, Lightweight, Stable Best Uses: All Terrain, Icy Conditions, Off Trail, Rolling Terrain, Steep Pitches Describe Yourself: Advanced Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These are great. If in doubt go with the bigger size.(they are fairly narrow, & easy to get around in) Figure in your weight plus what you will be with gear on. (not what you hope to weigh after your diet.) I like to have more performance then I need then needing more when I'm at that point of need.Great value for the buck! I put on the music and go for it, a lot better than watching a TV at the health club pretending to be getting in shape, WAY better work out and getting out into nature is unreal. Oh Yea , after you set the front straps you just slip your foot in and ratchet the back up snug, Grab some poles (a great plus) and go have fun!!!
