[QUOTE="bilbo, post: 315093, member: 6965"] Type of snow, weight, and type of terrain are the biggest factors. Bigger shoes mean more flotation and easier walking. But the size becomes a hindrance in woods sometimes. Pointy tips help keep the shoes from getting kicked to either side by branches/grass but they weigh more. The weight of the user is very important and must include gear as well; need bigger shoes if carrying a backpack or something. If someone is new to it and wants to try it out, the Magnesium Army ones are relatively inexpensive and pretty decent. I have a pair that I use a lot, even though I have 'nicer' ones, because they're reasonably light, work well, and I don't feel bad about beating on them (crossing roads, dirt, ice, etc.). Usually it's what I recommend if someone wants to try the activity out. [/QUOTE]
