Write your question here...Is there a recommended weight for the Denali Classic? I am 165lbs. and would like the option of adding a possible 45lb. pack. Should I be considering other options? Are the tail add ons sufficient to compensate the additional weight?Thank you.

I would highly recommend this shoe. It does take common sense to use it (unlike some of the reviews below) and the binding is actually incredibly stable and shouldn't let your foot move at all. IF USED CORRECTLY you shouldn't have any migration of your feet and large boots should fit as well. The best usage of these shoes is in rough terrain (ie. traversing, intermittent snow and rocks/dirt, etc.). Also it should be realized that the suspension system is contained in the actual flexing of the shoe, not in the pivot. This is a huge advantage.I weigh 175lbs. and often carry a 30lb pack. If I take tails, they will only be the 4 inch. The float on these shoes is more than adequate and the maneuverability is really were these shine. There is a reason why so many people dig this shoe. Of course there will be a few who don't understand it or have issues with how it's to be put on, but those who can figure it out really see the benefits.
