Pros:
Attach Securely, Lightweight, Stable
Best Uses:
All Terrain, Icy Conditions, Off Trail, Steep Pitches
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I loved these snowshoes. They are fairly easy to put on. I didn't get to try them out in deep snow, but they worked well on a light layer of powder over crusty old snow. It was very easy to walk straight up a steep slope with the snowshoe's crampons. It was a little more scary to walk down a steep slope, but I am inexperienced. I don't have especially small feet for a woman, but had to cinch the toe straps all the way down -- couldn't go any tighter. The other straps were easy to cinch down and held my boot in place well.
Red Feather snow shoes need bindings!

Cons:
Fall Off Easily, Not Effective
Describe Yourself:
Competitive Athlete
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Bindings need replacing. They do not stay tight, they slip around on the boot, and the shoe slides sideways from beneath the foot. I had to readjust the bindings three times walking less than a mile on flat ground.
Great except for the bindings
By perennial pat from Bemidji, MN on 3/10/2008
Pros:
Sturdy construction
Cons:
Binding not convenient, Difficult Entry & Exit
Best Uses:
All Terrain, Have not tried deep snow, Icy Conditions, Rolling Terrain
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Hike trails in Itasca State Park in No. MN - trails are rolling terrain and the cleats are great for going up and down hills. I used to use the old wooden kind; these are easier to walk in. The bindings are not as convenient to get into/out of as bindings on other brands I've seen (since I bought these). Snow kicks up and coats back of my legs but that could be a result of my novice technique. Great exercise!!! Overall, I'm happy with them.

Cons:
Difficult Entry & Exit
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: My only negative comment about these snowshoes is in reference to the strapping. The straps have tendance to work loose while walking. There is no way to set the adjustments permanetely for a single user. These are still great shoes and I would abosolutely buy them again!

Comments: My wife used them on new snow over frozen snow. Worked great. They are so much better than our old wooden snowshoes. Have not tried them in deep snow since our current conditions are new snow over old frozen snow. We hiked back into a river bottom where there were wet areas where the snow had covered the ground before freezing. Our previous hike there without snowshoes saw us up to our knees in water when we hit a soft spot in the snow. No such problems with the new snowshoes. Easy on and off and walking with them was like wearing regular hiking boots. One of our best buys from Sierra Trading Post.
