I used them once last year and found them really solid. I have since upgraded to a much nicer pair, but I have a buddy that I go snowshoeing with and he uses this pair exclusively. I think you can do quite well with an inexpensive pair for your first couple of years. The pair I bought was only a bit over $100 and I don't see any reason to ever upgrade them. They seem like they are going to last me a decade and they do exactly what I want them to.
i fear those shoes would not fare well in such a cool climate.
i recommend these. they come with a free carrying bag.
