Would buy again
As another reviewer mentioned, these are a great buy for the price. These are a pretty standard aluminum frame snowshoe. They have some great features and are missing a couple in my opinion.Pros:- Well constructed using high quality materials- Quick and easy to adjust (even with gloves on- High quality crampon to provide traction on the toe and underfoot. These look about 1.5 deeper than the competition- Heel plate that lifts up making climbing steep terrain way easier and comfortable- Cool designs (not boring black)- Excellent customer service from a company that stands behind their productsCons:- No carrying case but they did have adjustable velcro straps to keep them together. Not a deal breaker for me but I do like having a case to throw them in after I'm done and while they're in storage- The toe cut-out could be a little bigger. The ratchet adjuster hits the toe opening before you can move your all the way forward. This isn't an issue unless you're climbing something really steep. Totally fine 95% of the timeThe only other problem is Utah's lack of snow right now. I'll update this review once I have a chance to really put them through their paces.

Plastic, not rubber, bindings
They look great, are light weight, and appear sturdy. But I just couldn't use them.We adjusted the bindings indoors, so we thought we were good to go. But we walked about 10 minutes in 12 degree weather (wind chill minus something) to the path we intended to take. Discovered the plastic ankle strap became inflexible in the cold, so we could not tighten and connect the ankle binding. Other snowshoes come with rubberized bindings which are much more pliable in the cold, and therefore easier to use.

These shoes are awesome!
I'm 5'9 170lbs with full gear and was worried that the 21" shoes would be too small and not provide me with enough float in powder. I purchased the ENKEEO 25" shoes on flash deal for 10$ cheaper to compare and was going to give the 21" to my girlfriend. After trying both they are VERY comparable and virtually identical except for heel lift(slight nod to wildhorn) and ankle strap (slight mod to ENKEEO). Ratchet straps are amazing and very durable! Tried using the heel lift a few times and found it was more trouble than it was worth to use but still nice to have. I've used these several times in various conditions (trail and back county) living in colorado and these held up awesome! Never came loose never felt loose never had to adjust cause I felt my foot/heel slide. If around my size deciding between 21" and 25" shoes I HIGHLY recommend going with 21" regardless of conditions. After using both extensively the more float you get from the bigger size in powder is negligible imo to the maneuverability and natural compact feel you get with the smaller size! Trust me, unless you're going crazy waist deep bushwacking making your own trail snow shoeing go with the 21" they are awesome, provide enough float and don't feel as awkward to walk in. Can't recommend these shoes enough!

My favorite snowshoes now
Another great product from Wildhorn Outfitters. I originally bought different snowshoes from Costco, but when I compared them to these online, I returned those and bought these. These Wildhorn snowshoes offer some features that make them better. For one, they have a heel lifter to take the strain off of long hikes with an incline, plus they seem to be constructed much better. I appreciate the quality and I've since been comparing snowshoes in camping stores too and am very happy with my Wildhorn snowshoe purchase.

Pretty, lightweight, good to go
These are really lightweight snowshoes. I love the colors as well. I am 5'6" and 150lbs and for anything other than deep powder I would recommend the smaller size. I purchased the larger size and they are long.They are a little squeaky letting me know they are brand new.They were easy to put on with the exception of the heel strap (moderate to adjust) where the plastic is stiff, but these wear out over time and this will make them more flexible.

Sturdy and reliable snowshoes
I recently bought these Wildhorn Sawtooth snowshoes, and I'm glad they came as quickly as they did. The day after they arrived it snowed over 18 inches. I was super stoked to get outside and try them out.Right out of the box you can tell they are a very sturdy construction. A buddy of mine had a different brand snowshoe break in half while he was using them in waist-deep snow just a couple weeks ago. You can tell these Wildhorn snowshoes are not going to break. Whatever they're made from feels like high-quality material. I worry about that kind of thing buying products online. Other first impressions include their overall cool aesthetic. The colors and designs on them are true to the photos. Also, it's difficult to tell from the photos, but there are spikes under the fore foot as well as a robust set of spikes under the heel plate. This is especially good for helping to prevent sliding when traveling downhill on slippery terrain. When traveling uphill the heel riser is simple to pop up, which relieves some tension on your calves.Once I got outside in the snow and strapped them to my feet I was pleased at how easily they fit to my boots. I recommend checking the heel strap length before you take them out, because it's a little less pliable when it gets cold. Even so, once I had them on my feet they were totally secure. The toe straps cinch down and keeps everything right in place. Once they're on you just forget about them and cruise. I was able to hike naturally and easily without thinking about my snowshoes. They do a great job keeping you afloat without getting in your way. I look forward to using them again.

Fun in the snow!
Really enjoy these snowshoes. Very light, stays on top of the snow really well, and does not kick up any snow up behind me like some brands do. Used them around my neighbourhood, in the mountains and in provincial parks. Seems like you can use these in really any type of conditions. The only issue is the plastic clip that holds the rear stap around your ankle in place. One of the clips broke. Recommend putting metal clips on these shoes. Otherwise, your feet are solid in the shoe, straps remain tight.

Lasted 1 year before they fell apart
I bought this almost exactly one year ago. They lasted 5 snowshoeing trips, and then today they fell apart 4.5 hours in, on the top of a mountain. I had to use a rope to tie them to my foot to get back down the mountain. Obviously you get what you pay for. You don't want to get stuck like I did - I recommend looking for a higher quality product.

Affordability meets dependability
Very impressed with the fit/design/comfort of these snowshoes. The dual bindings on top are great. The heal contraption is not terrible it doesn’t allow much movement while adjusting when cold but to my surprise it hasn’t come loose yet. Would highly recommend.

In der Praxis bewährt
Für Mittelgebirge und "Normalnutzer" , auch bei längeren Touren, bestens geeignet, sofern beim Kauf auf die Größe der Schneeschuhe in Abhängigkeit vom Körpergewicht geachtet wird. Einfache Handhabung durch Ratschenverschluß, robuste Qualität und dennoch leicht.

Great snowshoe
Bought these as a second pair of snowshoes because I wanted a smaller size set for more mobility on a already packed trail. These shoes are great quality and are extremely durable. The bindings adjust very easily and they are quick to strap on. I live in Northern Ontario where there is a lot of snow and I didn't buy these shoes with the intention to use them breaking new trails as they are on the smaller size. For existing trails however, they shoes are perfect.
