Ya, they are more than adequate for regular use as well as an emergency. The bindings are set up for the Mickey Mouse boots; they adjust for leather boots (my preference when snowshoeing) but I haven't yet adjusted the nylon bindings that come with the shoes for my leather boots, so no report there.
I always liked the leather H-style harness (still sold through Iverson's in MI); the rubber inner tube style is supposed to be good with the pac/Mickey boots but I need to see a pattern for making those.
The Atlas' also have a good rep, and my pal likes his old Sherpas...sometimes Craig's List has older, like-new Sherpas for almost nothing....
Good luck with your purchase...
