The best snowshoes hands down!

MSR Ascents are the best snowshoes I've ever user.  Period.  Hands down!  You cannot beat the traction uphill and downhill.  They are light and the binding will fit bulky winter boots easily.  The bindings are simple to adjust.  These MSRs are on top of the snowshoe heap.

These boots are amazing!  They say to break in boots by wearing them before long hikes and that's exactly what I've been doing.  These boots are similar in weight to sneakers and feel less than half the weight of my steel toed boots.  While there is mesh all over them, they are waterproof!  I got them for Christmas and have been wearing them in Upstate NY snowstorms over the past several months (shoveling and climbing through snow drifts) and my feet have yet to get wet.  My feet are incredibly warm inside them as well.  I think this is my new favorite brand shoe.  Worth every cent!

Great lacing system. Comfortable and warm even at -40. Great to go snowshoeing as well.
A must-have if yo live in the cold, want quality shoes that will last.

i can't believe how AMAZING these are. i now stride the snowy, slippery streets with utter confidence. WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!  I'm a 7.5 dress shoe. 8-8.5 in sneaker/boot. The 8 fits fine with a thin sock. But I kind of wish i got 8.5 so i could wear with thicker socks. But i'm not returning these no way. If anything I'll just buy a second bigger pair.

I wear these all winter in all weather: Snow, rain, shine!  I don't slip in them.
These shoes saved me from horrible back, foot and knee pain.  They work miracles.  The soles are squishy which helps absorb the shock with every step I take.  They have terrific arch support.  They keep my foot in the most comfortable position!
They run one size too large.  I have two pair and both are one size larger than I wear and fit like a dream!  I wear them with or without socks.  These shoes literally changed the quality of my life by keeping my free of pain and I hope they never stop making them.

These are the real deal. I have a number of old military style snowshoes in which the binders wear out fairly quickly. Replaced with Marc's binders and the snowshoes are no longer frustrating. Have already put them through miles of shoeing and have held up great and haven't came off like most other binders tend to do.

These are great for the snow! They fit like a charm and worth the money I paid!

For many years I wore Sorels but a few years ago I came across this gem at a fabulous price and bought them. I felt compelled to write this because I have been beyond pleased with the comfort and warmth. The biggest difference was the tread that is far superior than the Sorel or any other snow boot Ive had. Great traction! I can also attest to the warmth of the boot (its been 10 degrees and lower here). Im staying with Kamik!

I love these boots! They are extremely durable, waterproof, warm and very comfortable. This is the third winter I have bought these for my Grandson. I was so impressed the first time that I would not buy any other boots for him. These are worth paying a little more for. I always order a size bigger just because when he wears them, he has extra socks on because he's out playing in the snow. They keep his feet dry thanks to their length and also the tie at the top. When he comes in his feet are still very warm and ALWAYS DRY!! People thought I was crazy spending this much on a kids boot because how fast they outgrow them. He was 2 the first winter, but they were so durable and the fact that I bought them a size bigger the first year they actually still fit him the following winter just not with extra socks on. He got a lot of use out of them and they are still holding up, the first pair. They are now set aside for his new brother who is on the way!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these to anyone, especially if you get a lot of snow and need great quality, long lasting, warm boots for your kids. Our winters are mild compared to some other places but I have no doubt these would last without any issues if you needed them everyday! Spend the extra money if you can, you will not be sorry. Thank you for reading.

I should have bought these years ago. What a game changer!!! On the lowest setting, your feet are comfortable all day. And on those really cold days, crank it up to level 4 for a few minutes to get up to temperature, then scale it back to maintain that pleasant warmth. Also, the installation maybe took me 10 minutes total. I have custom inserts and these are basically taped to the insert under my toes with the wire taped down and running out a little hole in the back of my boot liner. The wire lays flat, and I cannot feel it underfoot, but having warm toes in sub freezing temperatures is priceless. The battery pack has a clip that attaches to my boot strap in the back, and doesn't fall off or interfere with me getting on the lift or anything. Now I don't have to stop in the lodge to warm my feet. I get to ski all day in comfort!!! You'll be happy with this product!!!

This is my 3rd pair of Vasque Talus boots. For the value, nothing else compares. I've done thorough research and this shoe beats almost everything out there. I had my last pair for 4 years when I finally got a new pair (only because the exterior was really beat up from sharp rocks). Treated right, they'll last you several years and keep your feet warm and dry even in snow! They are also great for use in warmer temperatures- I wear them year-round!

These have been just about the best boots I've ever owned, other than Sorrels. We've had a very snowy winter so far, and these new boots have kept my feet warm and dry whether I've been walking the dog, shoveling snow, or going to check the mailbox. Great traction too! Haven't slipped, not even once. Lots of support and plenty of room for my orthotic lift for my right foot. Have received many compliments on the color. And the sale price made them an even better value!

I love these boots, they are extremely comfortable, warm and much better in winter weather than big bulky snow boots!!

I've had these for a couple of years and hike the mountains around Taos, NM.  These snowshoes provide great traction at all angles of ascent and descent, fit any size boot and are reasonably easy to mount on my boots.  The heel strap is a little difficult to attach/adjust due to awkward angle (horizontal to your heel) needed to tighten the elastomeric strap.  The flotation heels work well, when needed.  I can see where there would be significant degradation of the aluminum perimeter teeth if you used them on rock.  I have some minor wear on the nylon decking, but it's only cosmetic.  Hey, the paint wears off too, but that doesn't affect the performance either.

These snowshoes, used in combination with Kahtoola Microspikes are the perfect combination of winter traction/flotation for hiking in the mountains of northern NM.  Many times I start up a trail in the microspikes, carrying the MSR's on my Gregory Z45 backpack.  The Z45 (no longer made) has double side straps which allow an easy way to attach the MSR's.  I recommend a similar attachment system for any winter pack needed for carrying snowshoes.  Black Diamond Z-fold trekking poles with winter baskets complete the package.

I logged a trail this weekend on my Garmin and uploaded to Strava.  The first 1/4 mile averaged 14% gradient, and I didn't need the televators.  These shoes really do the job without unnecessary weight.  Also, I've never experienced any buildup of snow on the bottoms.  They are a great piece of kit.

I bought these for my husband for winter runs in North Idaho. He LOVES them! He says they have excellent traction in the snow and slick, and they keep his feet dry. He's tried Yak Trax and hated them. These are the way to go for winter!!

I was worried this shoe would be all style no substance - that I'd end up with a "sneaker boot" not fit for the snow.
I was wrong. This Adidas boot is more than a contender when compared to water-proof Timberland and Sorel snow boots I've payed twice as much for in the past.

I've worn them in the snow for hours and each time my feet and socks remain warm and completely dry - not even the slightest sign of dampness or water. They have a great heavy duty tread on the bottom sole for extra traction. The orange clip on the back is great to snap the back of your snow pants to avoid the pant legs from sliding under the boot and getting wet.
(An awesome feature).

They're comfortable. 100% waterproof. I recommend these boots.

These boots are amazing. I bought them for a trip to Fairbanks, AK in February this year. They're very warm, light, and comfortable. I did a lot of research before buying them and these were the only boots that had the warmth and water proof qualities I was looking for. They were even nicer than the elite military boots they lent us on the dog sled ride. If you're planning to do a lot of camping where you'll be outside unable to dry out for several days then you might consider boots with liners, but these are absolutely great for pretty much anything else. I'm looking forward to wearing them around town this winter.
