Solid Snowshoes

These are great all-around snowshoes, but I have a couple problems with them. As one other reviewer mentioned, I have noticed there tends to be build-up of ice and snow under the ball of your foot even if they are on correctly. This is a little annoying since you have to take them off to get the ice/snow out. They do also kick up a fair amount of snow, but all snowshoes do that to some degree. It doesn't really bother me. If either of those points are problems for you, I would look for a different pair, but for me these are great! The traction is amazing even on extremely icy hills. I have never slipped once. They also are a great shape for women so you don't have to walk a little awkwardly like in some other snowshoes.
