I'm 5'7" and weigh ~128-138 lbs. I am a beginner snowshoer, but an avid skier, etc., hoping to have a shoe that will give me the flexibility to try different aspects of the sport. What size shoe you buy if you are in the weight range for both sizes? Is this particular model a good choice for an all-round shoe? question_138883 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 10:18:01 GMT We want to bye snowshoes that fits our snowboard-shoes, what http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Tubbs-Couloir-Series-Snowshoe-Womens/TUB0044M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_136367#question_136367 Tubbs Couloir Series Snowshoe - Women's We want to bye snowshoes that fits our snowboard-shoes, what do you recommend ? Thanks question_136367 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:30:50 GMT I had been renting MSR's all last winter, so I purchased http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/MSR-Lightning-Ascent-Snowshoe-Womens/CAS0287M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_132139#question_132139 MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoe - Women's I had been renting MSR's all last winter, so I purchased the MSR Women's 22" Lightning Ascent Snowshoes toward the end of the season. Long story short, they both are for the left foot, not left and right. That's why I got such a good price. I love the fit, the traction, and even how easy they slip on and off. My questions is: Is there a way to get just the bindings for the right foot if I should want to do so in the future? Or, is there a way to just get one right snowshoe instead of the pair? Thanks! question_132139 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 21:26:36 GMT Please advise my about what size i need to buy.

I'll be shoeing in Canada http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/MSR-Lightning-Ascent-Snowshoe-Womens/CAS0287M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_86696#question_86696 MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoe - Women's This is my first pair of snowshoes. I'll be shoeing in Canada on multiple terrains, but mostly groomed trails (some light powder). My biggest concern is my build. I'm female, 5'4" and about 180lbs. I'm looking for something suitable for my short legs, I don't want to have to walk with my legs a mile apart. Everything I've read steers me away from aluminum tube frames due to lack of traction. I'm interested in the MSR Lightening, but unless I'm mountain climbing, I think these might be overkill. question_86696 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 06:13:48 GMT What is the overall quality of the Redfeather snow shoe? http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Redfeather-Snowshoes-Pace-Series-Snowshoe-Kit-w-Poles-Tote-Womens/RDF0012M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_84842#question_84842 Redfeather Snowshoes Pace Series Snowshoe Kit w/ Poles & Tote - Women's What is the overall quality of the Redfeather snow shoe? question_84842 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 06:44:44 GMT Are these snowshoes made in the united states?

I see complaints for the Series 9 and Series 10 both that say they do that. Have not seen complaints about the 11's however. So how does this shoe perform?

Thanks! question_60968 Mon, 29 Dec 2008 17:19:49 GMT Write your question here...I am not sure if this is the snowshoe http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Tubbs-Couloir-Series-Snowshoe-Womens/TUB0044M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_57096#question_57096 Tubbs Couloir Series Snowshoe - Women's Write your question here...I am not sure if this is the snowshoe I have or not but it looks similar except mine are black and red. My home burned last February and my shoes did, too. These were given to me by a friend. I had trouble with the bindings on my old shoes, they wouldn't stay on, slipping off the heel. I was kind of excited about new ones, thinking the bindings would be better. Well, they are different, but not better. These bindings slip off, too.Any ideas on how to keep them on my boot?I love my Tubbs shoes but it is a big pain to have them come off all the time. I am 56 and snowshoe every day in the woods around my home, bending over to adjust them constantly really takes some of the fun out of the sport for me.Thanks.Carol question_57096 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 13:45:21 GMT my daughter is just starting to take up snow boarding.
