With the lightweight, high-traction MSR Lightning Women's Snowshoes on your feet, you'll be floating over fields of snow. The Lightning's Total-Traction frame has a wave-like design that works wonderfully on flat and slightly rolling terrain. The serrated frame gives you 360-degree traction on hard-packed snow, and the tail's rocker design helps eliminate dreaded heel-drag. The Lightning snowshoe's aircraft-grade aluminum frame cuts down on weight, and the narrow design works well for a gal's stride. Step into the two-strap binding, tighten up, and head out into the wilderness. *Please see sizing chart for size tips.

Bottom Line: Forget about big, heavy, clompy snowshoes and strap into the MSR Lightnings.

are the bindings on the women's lightnings smaller than the ones on the men's? I just got the mens version for xmas and the binding gaps on the side of the foot. Is this normal? My foot is only a women's 6.5...

I also wear a 6.5 women's boot and truthfully the bindings on my 22" lightnings bulge on JUST ONE shoe.....the other is fine. hmmm? doesn't create any worry at all...unless you look down and aren't please with the aesthetics. Adjusting your foot position back may lessen the gap, just be sure to maintain the ball of foot position correctly centered.I wore a men's versions and the binding fit was similar although the shoe width was a tad bit more and I clumsily bang my shoes together.

Super lightweight, easy to put on, literally float on snow - it's really nice that all boots are compatible with these snowshoes. But the toe bindings for me DID budge - a lot - I almost lost a shoe! I'm definitely going to finagle some duct tape action or something to keep the toe bindings tight because I love the shoes otherwise.
