A friend bought them last week at Bokal Šport in Škofja Loka (I think around 130 euros).

just a tip, when buying pay attention to kilograms, of course you must consider your kg + backpack that you carry...

I'm looking for snowshoes too...
Last time I missed the sale at Iglu, wondering if anyone spotted any price reductions?

The choice is simple: the surface of the snowshoes must be sufficiently larger proportionally to the user's weight (considering other attachments each person carries - backpack with contents).
Pay somewhat more attention to the boot attachment system, strap quality; the step system is also important - it helps on long ascents, relieves calf muscles and Achilles tendon - how it is attached, quality plastic or maybe steel... then crampons or their tips are very important. Recommended to have front and rear ones, and how they are shaped. That's the user's matter, his requirements.
There are many manufacturers, the offer here is improving year by year, but compared to e.g. France or Italy, not to mention the USA, where snowshoeing is booming incredibly for our standards, quite poor. Shops with such offers are quite scattered, so it takes time to check all possible offers.

No, but I bought in their store in Trieste, in the Giulia center. The shipping info should be somewhere on the website.

If anyone needs snowshoes, they are very affordable at Intersport, prices around 80 euros, until the end of the month -20% + additional -10% (only on Tuesday), amount must be over 100 euros for -20% to count. I have no experience what the stuff from this store is like, probably not quite OK.

My cousin wants snowshoes into which he'll put regular winter boots. He's about 180cm, 90kg. Use: here and there to mid-mountain, mostly on flat, a bit in forest. Probably a cheaper model will be OK for him, which I hope is still decent quality. But on the other hand I think: yeah, one day I'd also take the same snowshoes for my hikes everywhere in mid-mountain and maybe higher. I'm a bit under 170cm and about 75kg. Well, since in the following store from tomorrow additional sales - unfortunately forgot to look more closely at snowshoes last time -, I'd take one of these. Let them be more suited to my needs, but clearly also for him:

MajaO.
With your snowshoes something is missing, what, you'll find out when walking downhill on a slope. I use two types of snowshoes, some are larger, suitable for more gentle terrain, with lots of fresh snow and also don't have many steel spikes. Made from frame with rubber fabric attached from frame to frame. These have nothing for heel lift. Others are TSL-438, which serve very well also for walking on hard even icy terrain, these are plastic, sometimes I go over some bigger rock with them (because I don't feel like taking them off and putting on again), so then sometimes I have to straighten some sheet metal tooth, and thing works further. These snowshoes serve very well on slope downhill, also uphill. The heel bar simply lifts or removes when going downhill and heel digs well into snow. Foot in ankle stays in normal position. Regards.

MajaO, everything depends on snow base, if it has no hardened crust then it might slip, like with skis. When on base there is hard crust but not so much to hold snowshoer's weight, then need to lift foot also out of footprint. Then there is also wet snow on it snowballs form on snowshoes. Biggest problem arises when going downhill, if that base is medium hard (doesn't hold human weight). In such case good snowshoes are those where heel goes under snowshoe frame. Maja, it will all come with time, just walk and enjoy, because winter is short. Terrain is plenty everywhere, question is only amount of snow. (Avoid only avalanche terrain) Regards
