Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Atlas designed the Women's E10 Series Elektra Snowshoe for a gal's stride. These snowshoes provide floatation, traction, comfort, and natural foot articulation. The ergonomic bindings support your arch, cradle your foot, and are amazingly easy to get in and out of. Strategically integrated padding insulates your foot and increases your blood flow, keeping you warm and comfortable. Atlas' patented Spring-Loaded Suspension maintains your natural ankle articulation and eliminates heel rotation so you use less energy and maintain a stable, secure stride over difficult terrain. Stainless-steel All-Trac toe and heel crampons and Traverse Trac side rails offer reliable traction over varied terrain."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"Exploration shouldn't stop when trails are blanketed with snow. The Elektra 10 Series is the snowshoe of choice for hikers who want to stay active in winter. Comfortable to walk on with its dedicated women's frame geometry, the Elektra 10 floats over soft snow and hikes confidently on firm slopes with Traverse Trac rails. Spring-Loaded Suspension moves freely with your foot's natural articulation. The padded Wrapp Plus binding adds an extra layer of warmth to the instep of the foot, and it is molded around a women's last for excellent arch support. The adjustable heel strap locks in place with SureClick buckles, so you can spend time enjoying the day instead of worrying about your gear.

"I was really disappointed in these shoes unfortunately. . . The problem I encountered was that with every step I took, the shoes would fling snow down my back, down my neck and even over my head! By the time I finished my 1 hour trek my entire back was covered."

"After many years of poor snow conditions for cross country skiing in our area, three years ago I bought two pairs of these snowshoes - the 1025 for me and the 1030 for my husband. They rank as one of the best purchases I've ever made. We have used these snowshoes many times each winter."
