Ranked #589 - Snowshoes
May 14, 2007
I had never snowshoed before, and I got the idea to start snowshoeing last winter. My husband was reluctant. I decided that if I was going to talk him into snowshoeing, that I'd better get us high-quality, lightweight snowshoes to make it as fun and easy as possible. My husband said he would try snowshoeing once, and that if he didn't like it, I could sell his snowshoes. Well guess what, these snowshoes paid off! He loved it! We had so much fun, and the heel lifters made it so easy to walk up the steepest hills. Now we're hooked on snowshoeing and can't wait until next winter. If you're considering these snowshoes, go for it. You will not regret it.
