Fantastic Shoes

By Backcountry.com Employee February 19, 2004

These shoes are fantastic. I've used them on everything from icy packed down trails (crampons worked stunningly well) to fluffy windblown powder, and in all conditions they have behaved wonderfully. The binding system is absolutly the best invention ever. It's super easy to get on, and the switchlocks on the straps are easy to operate in gloves, and have very few moving parts so snow and gunk doesn't seem to affect them. The binding itself covers and holds your foot in place solidly, but the best part of this shoe is the articulation. Ten minutes out you'll forget you're even in snowshoes. My previous shoes were like a pair of slippery trampolines that flopped around as I walked. The Atlas's don't have the problem.

Bottom Line - Believe the hype. These are the best shoes I've ever owned.
