| This is my first year snowshoeing. Since I am really a hiker I wanted a good shoe that was easy to strap on the back of a pack when snowshoes were not always needed at the start of a hike. These with the modular design have fit the bill. I didnt' initially use the tails, but have found lately that the 4 inch tails have become pretty standard. With the tails though it is easy to carry just want you want/need meaning you aren't stuck with a 26 or 30 inch snowshoe if you really don't need it for the conditions. I currently weigh about 215 dressed to hike without pack and will typically carry 20-25 lbs in my winter day pack (arrgh). There are times I might have wanted the 8 inch tails, but unfortunately wasn't carrying them. The 4 inch have been adequate if whatever I have encountered to date. My hikes have typically been up snow covered logging roads with a few side excursions. No super steep terrain of late. I think I'd like the televator heel feature for a lot of steep climbing. I typically wear my Salomon XA Pro 3D XCR Trail shoes with these which work great. Just make sure you have the Gortex ones... The only real complaint (thus why I didn't rate it 5 stars) I have is that I've had the heel strap come loose a few times. I think I am better at really pulling it tight which seems to help. You really want it as tight as you can get it. If this comes off it can lead to some interesting situations when it comes off and you suddenly are shoeless and posthole up to your waist with the one foot. | |

| I recently went backpacking in the Adirondacks and these were the best. The crampons bit into the hard pack and ice awesome. We crossed paths with several other groups and the few without Denali's wished they had them. Even the rangers patrolling the mountains were all wearing these. If you are going hiking someplace where there is an already established trail; buy the Denali's. The rangers did say though that for places with alot of deep powder that they prefer the more conventional aluminum style snowshoes. Otherwise I can't recommend these enough! I can't imagine having any other type of snowshoe for hiking. And for other reviews that claim the bindings keep coming lose on them, they must not know how to use them. Nobody in my party or any others that I asked had any problem. They held secure the entire trip. | |

Great all Around Snowshoe | |
| Rating: | |
| I'm an outdoors enthusiast and wanted to get into snowshoeing. I'm a hardcore backpacker, road cyclist, and wanted something for winter. Have used these shoes for 2 seasons and just bought my wife a set. She has gone out with me twice and likes it (of course I have to slow the pace down). These shoes are very functional and the best is the versatility of being able to add a 4 inch tail for deep snow conditions. I have been very happy with them. The only problems I ever read on them is if the pin fails. Well I just bought the repair kit for $15 to address that problem. I'm doing a camping trip to upstate NY next month so a little insurance. Strongly recommend these. Easy to put on, durable, and the straps stay put. | |

Great Snowshoe | |
| Rating: | |
| I have two pair, Evo Acents and the Denali's. Because the Denali has an eight inch tail, it is better in deep Utah Powder for my 185 lb frame than the 6 inch tails on the Evo's. They both are great shoes, and several of my friends have switched after using mine. Because of their light weight and the way they knife through deep powder, they are way less tiring than conventional snowshoes. Even my grandkids, who have Redfeather's, prefer to use Granpa's MSR's. They are also exceptional for Spring Ice Fishing when it gets a little slushie. I've snowshoed for years and MSR's are in a class by themselves. | |

If it ain't broke, don't fix it | |
| Rating: | |
| I have the older model with the lace-up bindings, but the design of the decks remain unchanged. What a great product. I have great faith in the rugged, molded design of the Denali's. What I like in particular is how well the decks repel snow when in deep powder. I'm running and jumping though powder while it seems all my friends are doing is being tripped up by they're big, clunky shoes. The Denali's also don't have all those riveted connections that are subject to failure. Solid piece of equipment that will last a lifetime. Great for beginners and advanced alike. | |

Love the shoes but not the bindings. | |
| Rating: | |
| I love these shoes. I have weak legs because of a broken back and the lightweight design make them feel like I don't even have them on. The only drawback is the bindings which have dry rotted and have broken and are no longer useable. I tried to find replacements but was unable to. I now have them rigged out with shoelaces and they work OK. I tried others but the weight was to much. I will use these with the shoelaces until I am able to buy a new pair. | |

Noisy, but otherwise FABULOUS! | |
| Rating: | |
| After reading [...]review on this site I decided to purchase these for my boyfriend. We also snowshoe in NH! Perhaps the perfect snowshoe EXCEPT for the noise factor. Since we like to view as many animals as we can when we hike, these unfortunately don't allow us to creep up on them. Aside from that, these are probably the most user-friendly ones we have ever owned. They are incredibly stable, lightweight, compact and make walking virtually effortless. Next on the EMS shopping list -- a pair for myself! | |

Great deal for a snowshoe | |
| Rating: | |
| I use these for 1-3 hours treks. I have had the heel straps slide out on a few occasions but I have found if I start out with 3-4 notches in the buckle, they tend to make it through a hike. Other than this issue, they are great. Light weight, strong, the side cleats are wonderful on slopes and with the add-on tail, you do not need to use a long shoe unless it is deep snow. | |

Newer Style Brings Perfection | |
| Rating: | |
| This snowshoe is by far my favorite. Having tried several styles and subjected this one to a rigorous weekend excursion, I would choose this one every time. The traction design makes it perfect for uphill climbing and icy conditions and the tail addition makes it perfect for deep snow. Probably some of the least bulky shoes on the market, I never tripped over myself like I did with other brands. Made to last, rugged and technologically advanced. | |

I don't think they get any better! | |

| After a bad experience with a rival brand I decided to go with these after taking some time looking at the design. The bindings are excellent! I've never had them fall off yet. Also the grip is incredible. I've climbed steep hills that were iced over from sleds with ease. The floatation tails are nice to take on and off depending on what kind of trek I plan on taking. | |

Not a big guy shoe | |
| Rating: |  |
| Bought shoes and tails and went on 2 winter/alpine trails 8mi/each in the White Mountains NH and lost a tail each time. I guess due to the fact I'm a big guy (250 lbs+) when I step into a gully the shoe collapes and the tails fall off. I'm going to return these and pick up a single frame style. | |

Heel strap too short | |
| Rating: |  |
| I got these for Christmas and thought they were great, until I got new boots. [...]I'm still growing and had to move up to size 14 boots. The first time I used them with my new boots, on a snow camping trip in the middle of winter, I dicovered that the heel strap was a few inches too short. I eventually got them to (sort of) work by pulling the strap with a plyers, but it was a hassle. They provided good flotation in 5 foot deep powder (I weiegh 180 and my tobbogan was about 70 lbs.)with the 8 inch tails, and i was impressed by that. I've E-mailed the company several times asking if longer straps are available ( I couldn't find them anywhere on their site) but I haven't gotten any response ( it's been almost a year). So I guess I wouldnt reccomend them to anyone with feet larger than size 12 mens. | |

Not Impressed | |
| Rating: | |
| I have had these snowshoes for this entire season. I am constantly having problems with the back strap coming undone from the side without the clamp on it. It creates a major problem when you're in the backcountry and you step completely out of your shoe. The strap doesn't stay secure and eventually works itself out of the clasp. The three strap system also makes it a bit more cramped trying to get the shoe on especially when it is cold out. I just took them back and ordered a pair of MSR Lightning Ascent 22's which I have used before. For the extra money I would go with them if you are looking for a good all around snowshoe. | |
