User Reviews

Women's Ridgeline Series
Reviewed by Kara Case, Jan 18, 2007

"Originally rated them at 4 stars but has been adjusted for the following reasons:
- balls of the feet hurt with cinching the straps, my feet became numb with hikes longer than 2 miles
- cloth straps are difficult to work with cold hands
snowshoe completely fell apart (the whole back part shattered) in 10 degree weather on flat ground."
