Franklin Sports Arctic Trail Snow Shoe

I really like these shoes. I've only used them a few times but they work really well. Very easy to put on and take off. Time will tell how well they hold up but I've compared them to other shoes in our local sporting goods stores and these are of much better construction.

Just spend another $40 and get a better pair, these are cheaply made and shouldn't be used on any strenuous mountain hike. I should request a refund.

They’re okay, got me through the weekend but they’re falling apart already.

These snow shoes are fantastic! Very sturdy and easy to use. The carrying case is also extremely useful (my wife got a different brand without a carrying case, and now regrets it). I would definitely recommend this brand!

Great for snowshoeing through the groomed trails. Love the ratchet strap bindings. My only dislike is I wish the heal strap had a clip strap. The heal strap that’s on them is hard adjusting.

Needed a spare pair. They are tough and do the job. Easy on & off.

Perfect!

We live in Alaska, so we use snowshoes every winter and we've had several pairs over the years. These are very impressive, they have the best cleats on the underside compared to any of the others we've owned. I can't compare them to any over $100, because I've never paid more than that for a pair and never would. This pair has all of the vital necessities. The straps are a very heavy, thick plastic with just the right amount of flexibility. I can't imagine they'd ever break, they are that sturdy and it would be impossible for them to stretch or tear like nylon straps eventually do. They have a ratcheting action, there are ridges on the side straps that act like a ratchet, they tighten the way a zip-tie does, absolutely no slipping! Yet, they are easy to remove by simply flipping up the side buckle and pressing on an easily accessible bar right on the back of the buckle, so you are able to flip up the buckle and release in one swift movement. This is so important, the ease and the speed at which you can accomplish this, because if you have to remove your gloves in order to put snowshoes on and remove them and it's really cold out it isn't easy fumbling with the clasps on your snowshoes. In fact it can be downright painful. Amazingly, the straps and closure are so easy to manipulate on this pair, removing your gloves or mittens isn't necessary, unless they are really large and clumsy. There is a black, nylon bag to carry and store them in and this is great because you don't ever want your kids or your dog stepping on those cleats if the snowshoes are in the back of your vehicle. There is a strap on it for carrying and will be handy for hanging them on a wall or securing them to one side of the interior of your vehicle. I don't expect to have to ever buy another pair of snowshoes. I will update this winter, but I can't imagine I would have any problem with them. I highly recommend them.
