Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Crescent Moon won the '08-'09 'Winter Gear of the Year' for the Gold Series 12 Snowshoe. Crescent Moon wasn't about to rest on its laurels, though. Re-designed to be even faster and more efficient, the '09-'10 Gold Series 12 has more of what you want in a snowshoe-light weight, great floatation and an easy-to-use binding that accommodates your favorite running shoe."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Gold 12 is for the fast and fit, or those who want to be. This year's race shoe is lighter and perhaps, faster than ever with a new durable decking material and a 3 claw aluminum traction system, including the "intuitive" toe claw that makes running, climbing, and even walking much easier and more natural than any other brand. If you're a runner, the Gold 12 was picked as the 'Winter Gear of the Year' winner by Trail Runner Magazine at the beginning of the 2008 year. The Gold 12 is an athletic, responsive design with a simple and easy to use race binding which accommodates your favorite running shoe and compliments you natural stride. Its a winning combination, you and the Gold 12."

From EMS:
"Redesigned for greater performance, the Crescent Moon Gold Series 12 running snowshoes are lighter and feature a simplified binding that tightens with a single pull loop system. The signature three-claw traction system provides you with the confidence to attack any hill or trail. Lightweight react binding with SPL (single pull loop) foot-glove system adjusts quickly and will not loosen while running. Integrated foot plate, stirrup, and toe piece harness increases comfort and support. Cam locking buckle holds your heel in place. TIG-welded, aircraft-grade 6063 aluminum tubing for greater strength and long-lasting performance. Proprietary TGS (the good stuff) decking material is lightweight and durable. Exaggerated teardrop shape allows for a natural stride for running longer and faster. Lightweight aluminum three-claw crampon with a unique toe claw provides superior grip. Made in the USA using wind-powered energy; waste materials recycled. Made without PVC."

"This is a great shoe when you use it for what its made for -- running. I am an avid runner and I decided I would try out a pair of these "running snowshoes" that everyone was talking about. They were definitely worth the price. They have one of the fastest binding systems and have a very aggressive bottom."
