Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Crescent Moon made the Women's Gold 13 Performance Snowshoe lighter than a man's snowshoe and adapted its shape to match a lady's stride. Because altering the way you walk gets really really old after a few miles in the snow--we promise."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Crescent Moon was the first snowshoe manufacturer to design a women's specific model and series of shoes to accommodate the differences of a woman's stride. The Gold 13 features a frame which has been bent with a very steep nose and tapered tail to allow the shoes to pass by each other without your changing the way you normally walk. With each step, the shoes will clear away from each other within the distance of your own natural stride. With the new 08/09 changes to the traction system and decking materials you'll should expect an even greater snowshoe experience than ever before."

From EMS:
"Get ready quickly and stay comfortable when you are playing hard with Crescent Moon's Gold Series 13 snowshoes. The single-pull binding and teardrop shape deliver user ease and comfort while the TIG-welded frame and stainless steel crampons are tough enough to go anywhere you choose. Molded polyurethane foot-glove binding with an SPL (single pull loop) system optimizes comfort and support. Toe claw provides purchase on steep frozen snow and ice. Hypalon straps will not freeze or expand, staying tight all day long. Exaggerated teardrop shape works better for a woman's naturally shorter stride, increasing maneuverability. Ratchet strap snugs your heel into place. TIG-welded, aircraft-grade 6063 aluminum frame for greater strength and long-lasting performance. Proprietary TGS (the good stuff) decking material is stable and durable in all snow conditions. Stainless steel three-claw traction; unique toe claw gives you added balance and climbing ability. Six different rivet locations secure the binding strap to the frame, providing redundant durability. Made in the USA using wind-powered energy; waste materials recycled. Made without PVC."

From REI:
"Crescent Moon Gold 13 snowshoes are responsive, performance oriented and incredibly easy to maneuver and use. Steep noses and exaggerated tear-drop-shaped tails allow feet to pass by one another within the distance of a normal stride. It's as if you have no snowshoes on at all! Single-Pull-Loop bindings, made from a pliable polymer gel, integrate the footplates and harnesses into anatomically shaped wraps. The wraps create an equal-tension harnessing system that secures the feet in all directions for support and comfort. Hypalon® straps will not freeze, stretch or come out of adjustment. Shoes are balanced to distribute body weight across the entire shoe, optimizing flotation and maneuverability. Their shape also makes it easy to pull out of the snow, so you don't have to work as hard. Three crampons dig in at the heels, balls and toes of the feet for complete control on any terrain. Features brilliantly colored, highly protective, powdercoated aluminum frames, clear. polyurethane-coated nylon front deck and nonplastic rear decking. Snowshoes are made entirely without PVC."
