The snowshoes were great. great traction, good secure fit. They did not slip off our feet even when going up hill. The only problem is that both my wife and I got blisters on the heels of our feet. I think this is due to the strap design on the back of the shoe.
i would recommend theses snowshoes to anyone starting out snowshoeing. they are very comfortabl and easy to use. great product.
