I get mine from redden net company, but likely easier to buy a snowshoe kit from my friends at lure of the North.

www.lureofthenorth.com. went to school with both the owners and done some trips with them. They know their snowshoes.

Also, lure of the North uses traditional lampwick bindings. They take a bit of finesse to get set up, but are effortless on and off, and also to walk in.

As said, I prefer my aluminum's for around beaver houses etc because of the manueverability.

Yes.
It goes without fail that if I take a newbie out on snowshoes they complain about them and decide to take them off: they ALWAYS end up putting them right back on.
