I wish i had more to say about my new snowshoes. I've had an ankle issue, so haven't been able to get out in the woods with them the way I had hoped to.

I was so overwhelmed with snowshoe options and different "10 Best" rankings that I turned to a friend that is a very high level athlete (Eco challenge Fiji, 100 mile snowshoe from Silver city NV to Last Chance CA), and she swore by these. She is a powerful woman and was carrying a 45 lb backpack while using these snowshoes. Did the 100 miles in five days. She recommended Dion's and that sold me. I have only used them three times, but I find them very easy to get into and easy to walk. I am surprised that Dion's never appear in any write-ups that I have seen, but they should be. Good product and excellent customer service. Thanks Dion.
