Using my girlfriend’s MSR Women’s Lightning Ascent 22 snowshoes

I'm your same size in both height and weight, I also use trailrunners for snowshoeing. I use the mens version of the MSR Lightning Ascent and the binding works well with my size 10 shoes.

Thanks for the post. My shoe size 10.5-11, so I'm sure that the men's would be fine for me. I just can't stop thinking about an extra 3 ounces per foot. I know it wouldn't really be noticeable, but I commonly run flats/downhills in my snowshoes so it would make a difference. My current snowshoes are a Red Feather racing pair and they launch snow all over my back (crappy binding spring action, but helps in running) and I get bad heel drift (more crappy binding). They are more comfortable on the tops of my feet, though, and have a cool tapered tail.

We're supposed to get a few more inches of snow starting tomorrow, so maybe I'll get a chance to see if the women's shoes give me any flotation at all in the soft stuff.

I'm so over winter.
