I bought a really decent starter pair on Amazon.

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.
Ok, so I've sort of narrowed it down to these three:
Chinook Trekker Snowshoes
PowdeRidge Crest Snowshoes
Yukon Charlies Women's Sherpa Series Snowshoe
Since the reviews all seem about the same, does anybody have any experience with any of these (or the brands)?
