My favorite moment of a snowshoe trip is when I take them off. Most people I see using snowshoes are on packed trails where they could get around faster, easier, with equal trail impact using microspikes. I know they definitely have a purpose in some situations but I'm with you on most of this, people do it because it looks fun or seems beneficial, one of my favorite local nature centers and hiking spots has snowshoe rentals and I've never seen anyone do it who wasn't slowed down 80 percent, tired as gently caress tripping over and they charge by the hour so the first timers really regret it the most. Those short wide skis posted seem like they'd do a lot of the same things and slip off pretty easily when you need your boots more.
