Winterial Onyx Premium Snowshoes 25 Inch Mountain Terrain Black Snow Shoes with Quick Fit Bindings Carry Bag and Adjustable Poles

We used these about ten times this past winter and they've been great! Although they're super light, they're very durable. The side crampons really help with traction and the heel lift makes a surprising amount of difference! We live in a very hilly area and we went up and down the hills without problems. Float is decent, although you will sink some, especially in light fluffy snow. The only potential thing to know is that if you have smaller shoes (I wear an 8 in mens), when the heel lift is up, sometimes it'll get pushed down. Only happened a couple of times and was only a minor inconvenience plus, it may have just been that I didn't have it locked in the up position all the way although I think I did.

After searching for a reasonably priced set of snowshoes that offered all the features of a high-end brand, I was happy to stumble across this Winterial setup. I wanted a larger crampton, the side rails and a heel lift. I was worried the cloth bindings wouldn’t hold, but they did great (even with moisture.)Pros:Easy on/offTight hold- my boot never slipped around in the bindingGreat tractionCons:Seems built for larger feet (I had to wear large snow boots -size 8.5- to fill the binding and I was tightened down almost completely). Individuals with smaller size may not get it right enoughSnowshoe performed well in packed powder and untouched powder!

Pretty good product and a great buy with some cons.Good:Great tractionLightEasy to put on feetBad;The cool design doesn't allow for enough flotation. I'm 6'1" 180ish. It works good on slight packed snowHeel strap locking mechanism should be metal not plastic.Poles work great except the grip is made for smaller hands.Overall I would give the product an 8/10. Great price and good for light hiking. I did a few miles in them

This is the first set of snowshoes I have owned. They are easy to get on and are reasonably priced. The snowshoes are rated to 190 pounds, and with gear, I am at 175. However I find myself sinking far more than I should—12” or more in some spots. Perhaps I should have purchased a bigger size, but I am within the recommended weight limit. I really wanted to like snowshoeing, however I am not sure these are the right ones for me.

I don't have any experience with other snow shoes but bought these because of the reviews, I had a hunting trip scheduled in northern Michigan and there was 2 1/2 to 3 ft. of snow on the ground so impassable with the 4 wheeler. The other guy's in my group had shoes from a little bigger to much bigger and these seemed to work as good as everyone else's, although I did without thinking try to step backwards and fell 3 times, other than that I would cruse quite effortlessly compared to without. I like the compact size, poles and carry bag, I'm glad I bought them.

but this snow shoe set up is a really nice kit...the bindings are top notch and intuitive, the snow shoes are light and well thought, and the poles are much better than you would think would come with a set of shoes this good for the money...in fact, my older set of snow shoes are considered top of the line, and much more expensive, but i seriously could not explain to you why they are any better than these.....we did have snow earlier this year, and after trying the Winterials the first time out, i also reached for them before my second outing.

I'm pretty impressed with these so far, considering how cheap they were. They work okay in deep snow, but seem better suited for trails. The crampons are very grippy, and the heel lift works well. The bindings are fairly easy to set and release, although you'll probably have to take your gloves off. I've broken two sets of cheap snowshoes that are made of a sheet of plastic riveted around an aluminum frame. I like that these are solid plastic instead, they feel much more durable.

These are amazing shoes! My only qualm is that the heel lift is too far down on it and so its not useable for my size shoe! I wear a womens USA 9 and it is about an inch and a half too low for me! Otherwise these have great floatation on powder and solid traction on the icier bits.
