Robert, I’m so glad that you’ve enjoyed your first season of snowshoeing and that you were able to find a pair of snowshoes that better suited your needs. I am sorry to hear about your experience with Tubbs, and again, I do appreciate you sharing it with us. Here’s to a few more fun snowshoe adventures this season with your new snowshoes 🙂 – Susan, SSM Editor

i should add that after the first failed attempt at posting a review, I tried to sneak one through their censors by by giving a 3 star rating, but with similar negative language. Tubbs still would not post on their website. Additionally, they refused a return after two weeks of use. More reputable companies like REI Black Diamond would have easily rectified the situation.

Thank you for your kind words. My wife and I are 70, are in our first season of snowshoeing. and have had many great excursions. I ended up buying a better pair (the same as my wife, who purchased after my initial purchase) which have a more secure strap in the back and do not come off.

I purchased Tubbs Frontier Men’s snowshoes (directly through their web site) this year and had a problem with the back strap repeatedly coming loose and the shoe falling off. I tried to post a review with a 1 (out of 5) star rating. Despite them verifying me as a buyer they would not publish the review. After perusing the ratings of their 20+ men’s snowshoes I noticed they only posted one review with less than 3 stars. One person must have tried almost every type snowshoe in their inventory as he posted the majority of ratings for most snowshoes. I do not trust their ratings/reviews.
