I went on a snowshoe trip around Bert's lake next to Loon lake( 3 mile hike-started at 6100 reached 6836-then back down) using these boots ( sno-sealed and gaiters) work just fine, for my first time out.
I used a pair of MSR Lightning Ascent snowshoes , the day was 40-55 degrees. Snow was mostly packed powder
I'm hooked on shoeing now. I think I will invest in a good pair of Columbia Bugloo's for next season when I start snow camping.
Thanks to all for the tips.
Mike
P.S. Forgot used REI Mountain gaiters
