Are GV Snowshoes any good?
4.0 out of 5 stars Great flotation on these snowshoes! These snowshoes are great for staying on top of the 2 feet or more of snow I’ve been working in this winter. The only down side is that they are not designed for my size 14 boots. The bindings are very easy to fasten and fit even my monster boots!
