this is a great shoe. clean, simple, lightweight design. I've shoed on the fluffy stuff, the crunchy stuff, and everything in between. this shoe is easily to position correctly on the foot and has never come close to falling off. the rubber hook & eye straps make mittened hands a non-issue. no more knotty laces!
the ascent heel lever is useful on steep inclines, but i haven't found it necessary on moderate hills. i do, however, like the fact that it is there, just in case. would i recommend this feature? absolutely.
the added bonus: attachable flotation tails for fresh powder. you just don't get that option on models by other companies.
to me, this shoe is all about options and flexibility. it is completely practical and i've yet to be disappointed by it.
