I had been renting MSR's all last winter, so I purchased the MSR Women's 22" Lightning Ascent Snowshoes toward the end of the season. Long story short, they both are for the left foot, not left and right. That's why I got such a good price. I love the fit, the traction, and even how easy they slip on and off. My questions is: Is there a way to get just the bindings for the right foot if I should want to do so in the future? Or, is there a way to just get one right snowshoe instead of the pair? Thanks!

Dee, Interesting situation. Technically speaking, the snowshoes are not left or right specific, but MSR does recommend wearing them such that the tension buckle on the heel is on the inside of the foot. Retail stores will sell snowshoes in a pair, so if you're looking for a single shoe or a binding change-out, I would suggest contacting MSR. They may have other suggestions as well. The store that you bought them from may be able to do something for you as well if you complain that they sold you a mismatched pair. Good luck!
