There is no better shoe then this. I am 6'0" tall and weigh 240+ Lbs. This shoe will take me literally anywhere. I bought the shorter tail but at my height and weight there have been times when the longer tail would have been a better choice but more often than not the short tail has done well. I Bought the EVO rather than the Classic for my wife because if you watch her walk, her heels tend to angle inward a bit and the EVO's are tapered at the back. I let her try mine and she was stepping on, and clashing the tails on the Classic, which was a huge nuisance for her. I don't seem to have that issue. But if you are going to buy snowshoes, examine this issue carefully before you buy or rent them first then buy OR just buy the EVO's and you really can't go wrong although they are a bit more expensive than the Classics My wife and I were snowshoeing with another couple who had both Redfeather and Tubbs and neither were able to traverse the terrain we cut through. Especially the guy with the tubbs... he started attempting to follow us and ended up with no forward [downhill] traction ability and landed on his backside and turned around while both my wife and I hauled forward through some really tough terrain and onto a most spectacular riverside hike where literally NO one had been in an area of heavy snowshoeing. Oddly enough, after about t mile in, we picked up the tracks of another snowshoer and guess what? They were on EVO’S LOL. Your only choice for shoes that I can see is Classic’s or EVO’s, I’d personally Never Switch.
