Their large footprint spreads the user’s weight out and allows them to travel largely on top of rather than through snow. Adjustable bindings attach to appropriate winter footwear.

Snowshoes are a fun and very welcoming addition to any outdoor adventure. They allow you to really focus on Mother Nature’s beauty and enjoy the excitement of the overall experience.
