Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These are for family snowshoeing on a flat frozen lake, you can't take these into backcountry or bushwhacking in a mountainous region. I took them out for a 7 mile out and back up a mountain in the Catskills and broke them in 30 minutes. The bindings and materials are too cheap to stand up to any abuse at all. If you're just doing some family fun snowshoeing on an easy trail or frozen lake, these would be fine, but don't head out into an area where you may depend on them holding up in Alpine hiking or you may be screwed. I'll upload some photos when I get some time. UPDATE I added some photos, it's clear that the footbed is breaking into pieces down to the screws that hold everything together from very little usage, I had to double-back and pick up all the broken plastic so I didn't leave it in the park. I did a 7 mile hike and used these for maybe 1 mile. The material for a significant portion of this shoe is just cheap grade hard plastic, not a higher quality rubber or urethane you'll find on a better pair. If you're like me and hike a lot in harsh conditions, and thought you could just get something cheap and they'll perform how you need don't bother with these, they can leave you in a bind. If you're walking from a parking lot to snowshoe on a frozen lake go for it.
