I have a few pairs of poles, which are kept at home, but wanted a compact pair to have in my car as a backup, These are very nice. They are collapsible (compact), very reasonably priced and light and will be good in snow as well.

Unfortunately within the first 20

Mine never stayed in the lock position and the clip to

Also his snow shoes didn’t fit. We needed a set of small and xsmall straps that were missing to firmly lock his sneakers into place

These running snowshoes are built strong and sturdy but are simple and lightweight. Not clunky or flimsy! I also love that they are made in VT. I'm Maine and wanted to purchase as local as possible. VT is amazing!

So far I have no issues with this set of poles.Easy to set up.seem to be sturdy enough.good grip. light weight enough for me to run with. For the few times I have used them, I like them
