By Shoe-foot Shelly from Showdown, Montana on 11/05/2009 Pros: Compact Design, Lightweight Cons: Difficult Entry & Exit, Unstable Best Uses: Flat Terrain, Rolling Terrain Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: My boyfriend bought a pair of these on sale, and hates them so much it's like pulling teeth to get him to come show-shoeing with me.
First the good points: They're really not a bad shoe on relatively level terrain, and they provide decent floatation...but the bindings are awful. Once they're on, they're secure enough, but they're tough to get tightened properly, and it takes a lot of time. The crampons are smallish, but fine for gentle terrain. The snappy heel is nice for agility, and yet it doesn't fling too much snow. He might get snowballs thrown at the backs of his legs, but never up his back or over his head.
Now for the down side. These shoes are COMPLETELY lacking in lateral stability. When traversing a slope, my poor boyfriend's heels come ALL THE WAY OFF THE SHOE. Not just off the heel plate, but off the entire shoe. He's kind of duck footed (toes out) when he walks normally, and the bindings are too soft to keep the snow shoe aligned with his feet. Even on level terrain, the shoes point forward perfectly straight, but his feet point toes-out...meaning that his heels are treading on the frame, thus putting more weight on the inside of the shoe, causing it to tilt inward, and this makes his ankles hurt and his hips hurt, and because the shoes are entering the snow at an angle, he sinks in much deeper.
This is not a problem with all snow shoes. Some manufacturers make nice stiff bindings that keep the shoe aligned with your foot, no matter what your foot is doing. I'm as duck-footed as he is, but the stiffer binding on my snowshoe keeps my foot planted firmly over the heel plate, even when traversing.
In short, the bindings suck. If your feet point perfectly forward, and intend to spend most of your time on flat terrain, and you have the patience to fiddle with the bindings, then these might be the shoes for you. If you want to discourage someone from snowshoeing, put them in a pair of these and try to traverse a gentle slope. That'll teach them!

By Tom from Schreiber, Ontario, Canada on 03/16/2009 Pros: Attach Securely, Compact Design, Easy Entry & Exit, Good Traction, Lightweight, Stable Best Uses: Deep Snow, 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: I use these snowshoes for work and so far I have found them to be great. I especially like the fact that the traction on an ice surface is fantastic. I have not found anything bad to say about them.
