Rated 5 out of 5 by Beaudettoise Great product
These look good and work well. Bindings are easy to adjust and I have not had problems with anything coming undone.

Rated 4 out of 5 by akchel Good for beginner
It took me a while to get them set up. I didn't expect to need tools (screwdriver and pliers to hold the nut on the back while I tightened the screw) to adjust the size of the plate on the bottom. Instructions were very generic, so I pretty much had to figure out how the binding worked myself.
Also, there was no size listed, but if my feet were any smaller these snowshoes would be too big. I wear size 6 boots with them.
I was disappointed that there are three "buckles" to adjust on each foot. However, the more I've used them the easier it's gotten to get in and out, even though it takes two hands to do it. Once I'm in them, they stay tight on my boots, so I haven't had to stop and tighten them while I'm hiking.
The poles tend to collapse during use, and I have to adjust and re-tighten them at least once per outing.
Overall, it's a very good product for the price. The snowshoes are comfortable and easy to walk in.

Rated 5 out of 5 by maw16 Love These!
I have wanted these snowshoes for years and finally purchased them- I was very nervous because my skiing experience has been abismal- so needless to say I was hesitant the first time out- well it is nothing like skiing (obviously, but I was still concerned) and as easy as just walking-Now just hoping for some more snow!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Mainer4967 Rear Clip doesn't hold
I love to snowshoe and returned 1 pair for another hoping the rear clip would hold better. I am an avid exerciser and have to stop repeatedly to relatch the back heel clip. It doesn't hold..... I'm buying a new design.

Rated 4 out of 5 by mycommonsense Easy to Put On, Easy to Walk In
These snowshoes are lightweight and well-designed. They're easy to put on and lightweight. They're not so big that you step on your own snowshoe on the other foot. The poles that come with them are, unfortunately, not very good and frequently collapse when I put weight on them; that's why I gave the package only four stars. Use them with poles purchased separately for hiking from L.L. Bean and you'll have a great time out in the snow. I did.

Rated 5 out of 5 by snowshoe209 So satisfied!
I used my snowshoe set for the first time last week! I had only been snowshoeing once before, but this set is truly easy to use! My boots are not from L.L. Bean, but they worked great with these snowshoes. They are so easy to fasten that you can fasten them while standing. I would definitely recommend this set to anyone who is snowshoeing just for fun. Super choice for beginners!

KitkatRN Love them
Just took my brand new snowshoes for their maiden voyage. Setup time was less than 10 mins out of box. Fresh snow was perfect! A great cardio workout and an enjoyable new hobby. The only thing I would do differently was pick up the gaiters with the snowshoes. Paired them with wildcat 3 boots.

LeopardLady Wonderful!!!
I just got this package as a Christmas gift from my in-laws. It was the main item that I had on my list that I was really in hopes someone would get. I used them for the first time today in this lovely storm we're having, being that I had a snow day from work. They are wonderful!!! Super easy to put on, and very easy to walk in, on flat ground, no snow, hills, and thick snow drifts.
The last time I went snow shoeing I used a pair of mesh ones my grandparent's had, and they were not easy to walk in, I'd keep stepping on one of them with the other. These however, you don't end up stepping on them because they are designed so you can walk normally and not worry about it. Highly recommend these to anyone and everyone!!
