Redfeather Pace Snowshoes - 25" (For Women)

I'm a first time snow-shoer so can't really compare to other products other than observations of my friends snow-shoes while we were trekking. These were a bit more narrow than unisex shoes, putting my feet closer together on stride, which I was happy for. They were light and comfortable on. The bindings seems slightly more tedious than my friends who had the Redfeather Rainier Ultras. Even so, I was happy with my choice. I snowshoed in the Swiss Alps, mixed terrain, including icy patches and steep pitches, and these performed GREAT!

Used on a hut trip to McNamara Hut near Aspen CO. The details were 5 miles 2000 vertical on packed trail with deep snow 5' off trail. The hut was located at 10,300'. We carried overnight packs and pulled a 70-80# sled. The trail wasn't perticularly steep but had significant amount of fresh on the descent.

I snowshoe 5 to 10K daily on trails I have packed myself. Conditions have varied from 3 feet of powder to thick wet snow and ice, with terrain over flats, hills and steeps. The snowshoes have exceeded my expectations. They worked well to pack trail, have great traction on steep slopes both up and down, and since they are so light I can actually jog on the packed trail. I've used friends snowshoes and felt like a waddling duck, but this snowshoe is narrow enough to let me have a natural stride. That's the best! I have only one concern; the heel plate is fixed and may not work with a large shoe size. I wear a 7.5 and fit OK. They are really quick to put on, very easy to adjust to different shoes/boots. I've used running shoes, hiking boots, x-c ski boots and the bindings accommodate all.

I bought these for my son's girlfriend and she loves them. She said they've been on icy rocks, deep snow and pretty much everywhere and they've worked well. She said the bindings work well and are easy enough to get on and off. She's about 5'7 or so, medium build.

Purchased for my wife, never on snowshoes. Flicked snow up her back at first, until she adjusted her stride. Now she's walks along as if she been using for years. Used on ice,in the woods,and up and down hills.

I love walking in the woods with the snow-covered trees surrounding me

I ordered these for my Special Olympic athletes for their winter sports competition. They love them. Since they race in them, most of them run in them and they work great for that since they are light and compact.

Nice magenta color Perfect for women and designed that way

Haven't gotten a chance to use these yet as we've had no snow, so I've just slipped them on and off in the house to get used to the bindings. These are pretty straightforward, although some of the laces dangle too much, but we'll see what happens! They seem really well made. My mom has some cheaper ones and it's pretty clear that these are made better. Plus, they're made in Wisconsin!

These snowshoes are well-made (in the US!) and work wonderfully. I'm 5'3" and weigh 135, so I was a little worried that the 25s might be too long. But the extra length is more than manageable because of the excellent design, and it gives me wiggle room to carry a large pack. The heel joint feature is great -- keeps you from getting fatigue, the traction is fantastic, and the buckles, etc work well to hold them snuggly to my feet. If you're worried about the 'pink' color -- it's really more of an electric reddish pink and its pretty good lookin'. They work well even on steeper slopes, and I was even comfortable running in them. Great shoes at a great price!
