Last winter I broke my laces on my Sherpa snowshoes three times and on a friend's snowshoes once. The Sherpa's were otherwise really nice, easy to get in and out of, but they were clearly too small. I will need a 30" pair.
Admittedly everytime the laces were broken they were on long treks with lots of trailbreaking and route searching (Lafayette to Garfield, Whiteface to Passaconaway, and cool stuff like that).
Any opinions upon a durable pair of snowshoes good for trailbreaking? How about these all plastic ones? At least there are no laces to break...though something else may give.
I do have to say that I never got stuck due to broken laces. I still had support enough to take me out.
