Light and grippy
Yes , I recommend this product
My first pair of snowshoes so I have nothing to compare them to. They seem to work just fine short of deep light powder, where I sink more than I expected. Im not punching post holes. I'm 6-2 220, some extenders or a diet would probably help. The bindings work for the Oboz Bridgers I bought, size 12, but it's a tight fit. Four stars for something I didn't catch until I was on the trail. One is not like the other.

Yes , I recommend this product
I’ve been using these daily for the last month or more, the bindings are great. I’m going to use them on my lightning accents just swap them out, these are not accent shoes they are explore shoes are they are worth having.
