Crescent Moon Gold 10 Backcountry Snowshoe
More Than Just a Pretty Pair of Shoes
By Anonymous
Ranked #707 - Backcountry Snowboarding
December 7, 2007
These Crescent Moon shoes blew me away! The binding system is absolutely brilliant -- they fit snug on my boots, are super easy to get on and off, and are perfectly integrated with the rest of the shoe.
The Gold 10's crampon system is amazing too. But you won't notice the stainless steel teeth underfoot until the going gets tough. Sheer rock and tree roots are no match for these rugged claws.
CM's Gold 10 is probably overkill for the casual hiker looking to log a few miles. However, they are the ultimate backcountry tool -- where lightweight and foolproof equipment is absolutely critical.
These snowshoes truly earn all five stars in my book!
