I took these out for quite a few hour or two long hikes last winter and look forward to using them this winter. They grip really well going uphill and downhill and the bindings are a cinch to use. The only catch is you do have to have a solid toed boot with which to use these otherwise you will experience the pinching mentioned by other reviewers. I now hike in the Merrell Snowbound Mid Waterproof Winter boots with these and it completely fixed that issue. The heel lift is super nice for uphill and made climbing a ridge to overlook Denali a breeze. I got these as a beginning snowshoe and I now recommend them to all of my friends as well. 5'8", 155lbs. The 22" frames worked well for me.

Great features at a near entry-level price

(Mirored my review for men's version) Located these on sale and grabbed a pair of the 22" in both men's and women's sizing. They work great as a starter pair of snowshoes! We exercised them for the first time this past weekend over the course of approximately 5 miles total up in the Tahoe/Carson Pass area and they were great. I am about 5'9" 150 lbs and the 22" was plenty of flotation for a day hike load-out. There are optional tails available for about $40 if one is worried about heavier loads, which is a nice way to keep default weight of the snowshoes down. Some people find the front straps/buckle might pull downwards a bit too much causing hotspots on softer-structured boots, but I found that I really didn't need to run the buckles so tight that it became a problem. I used a pair of Keen Neve Polar Winter boots which are not hard-sided winter boots and it was fine. My gf used a pair of Merrell Snowbound boots and didn't complain either. The inclusion of the heel lift at this price point was a welcome feature as they do make a difference when going up even rolling hilly terrain. Traction with these is great, especially due to the teeth on the outside edges. I ran a pair of Redfeather Alpine Ghost in 27" the week previous and the difference in weight is noticeable. The MSR offerings are much lighter by far, which probably will add up over a longer distance trek. The bindings on the Redfeather were also very pinchy going up and down hills. Do be aware that depending on your gait, the inside head and tail of these shoes to contact once in a while, so they get a bit dinged/scuffed in a hurry even after one use. The colored coating on the metal parts will chip off, especially around the traction bars under use. Not a big deal, imho, since these are tools, but some people might care about their stuff being shiny and new forever... TL;DR, for the price (on sale), the light weight and features of these shoes are excellent for beginners!

Bindings are less than perfect

I bought these hoping the bindings would be better than the Revo Ascents, which I had previously bought. These Explores are much faster and easier to put on, but the front binding pinches at my pinky toe area, and it's not because it's too tight. When I try to un-tighten the front ratchet, then my foot keep slipping forward and falling out of the back binding. I'll be going back to my Ascents because at least with those, I know I'll be securely and comfortably fastened in for a whole hike. With these, I was constantly stopping to fix the bindings. Easy up front, but not worth the hassle during the ACTUAL hike!

Not for me

I took these for an easy hike and the left heel binding kept slipping off, the only way for it to stay on was to jam my foot in the front binding and tighten it to death until my foot hurt, otherwise the snowshoe wouldn't stay on. So sadly these are going back. but i already have a replacement because... REI, that's why. :)

Great snow shoes

I bought these after being very frustrated with my Atlas snowshoes - they kicked snow half way up my back and i would be soaking wet. Anyway, because of the pivot point on the ball of the foot of the MSRs, i did my last snowshoe excursion without any problem .... these have become my new favorite snowshoe!
