"Is there a better shoe out there?" - Review of MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoe

The traction is amazing on these things. What really stands out to me though is how light and easy to walk in they are. You can walk pretty much normally and you don't have to worry about the shoes hitting each other. I am not in love with the binding system mainly because they are not as fast to get on and off as others I have used. Once locked in though they are very solid. I really don't see how other shoes stack up??? There is as much surface area to keep you on top of the snow and more grip than anything out there. I hear people complain about the price but they are not that much more and for what you get they are worth it.
