MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoe - Men's
sticks to anything

While not as light as the Evo or as packable (but then again, what shoe is), these are fantastic. I have put uncountable miles on these in many boots and they fit them all. The heel lifter and aggressive edges make going up the steeps as easy as can be and the HUGE well allows a great natural movement of the boot at any angle. When the snow is to deep or steep for skins and too soft for crampons or you are just trying to hike it out to the falls for an ice climbing day, this shoe is more then you could ever ask for and will never let you down.
