Rating: 
Price Paid: CDN $100
Pros:
Lightweight.
Easy to put on.
Lots of flotation in deep snow.
Good crampons.
Quiet.
Cons:
Heel strap isn't totally secure.
Durability.
Other shoes tried.
MSR Denali
Various Atlas.
Even though they are a larger shoe more suited to deeper snow, the light weight and strap-sprung pivot make this shoe very easy to use in any condition.
The traction is more than sufficient, although there is a little float before the crampons bite in, certainly a lot more than something like the Denali which almost bites in too fast. On some steeper terrain, a toe crampon like Atlas shoes may be nice.
After 6 casual outings, my binding separated (Pop rivets) from the strap that connects them to the shoe, very disappointing indeed. Although it could easily be fixed with a nut and screw, I'm going to go for something a little more durable. I would say that this shoe is for casual use only, if you are a fast walker or walk on steeper terrain, then other options may be better for you.
