Great, but not for the gals.

These snow shoes are really well made, I was very happy with the quality. I actually bought these at another outfitter where their "gear expert" told me that the men's 25 would work for me since they were out of the women's 25... NOT SO! They were to wide for my stride, and I could not use the ascent feature because my foot is to small. Needless to say, I returned them and let that so-called expert know that he was quite mistaken. Nonetheless, my love was very happy with his. They were light and worked well for a 4 mile in fresh pow.
