I was wondering if these were a good pick if i want to go bushwhacking in about 2-3 feet of powder; I have large size 14 shoes and weigh 190 lbs. Will these be maneuverable enough? I believe that the will float fine.. please tell me what you think. any feedback is greatly appreciated!!

I think the bindings may not accomidate a size 14. You may want to go with snowshoes that have more universal bindings like the MSR Denali series.I don't know the size of this snowshoe, but it looks too small for powder. You will need the largest snowshoe you can handle for powder. I can go through thick evergreens with 10x36. Not saying that is right for everyone, though. I can't foresee you doing much trailbreaking in powder with a 25 inch snowshoe, even if it was only a foot of powder. I would suggest 30 inch minimum, but my 30 inch snowshoes always stay at home for powder and I weigh only 165.
