This was actually a second set of snowshoes. I bought my first set in 2004 and these were a replacement. They have a much improved design and after the initial setup should be a snap to get on and off. LLBean's customer service was awesome in helping me with this.
Excellent, especially for the price; light weight, excellent and easy to use bindings; very worth the money! I would highly recommend these snow shoes and that everyone with a snowy climate get out and enjoy the outdoors. It's easy and great exercise.
MY HUSBAND AND I JUST PURCHASED THESE SNOW SHOES THIS YEAR. WE BOTH LIKE THEM VERY MUCH. THE BINDINGS ARE EASY TO GET ON AND OFF. I FIND THESE MUCH EASIER TO WALK IN THAN THE LAST PAIR I HAD WHICH WERE LONGER. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO MY FRIENDS IF THEY WERE GOING TO PURCHASE SNOW SHOES.
