Modern day snowshoes are made stronger and lighter than ever before and are available in various solid styles. However, the older wooden shoes with leather lacing are still available. Newer snowshoes also have ascenders, which are basically heel lifters that flip up to help you climb hills. When choosing a pair, you need to factor in your weight with your gear, and the type of terrain you’ll be travelling over. Snowshoes that are specifically designed for women and children are also available as are shoes made for running. The shoes need to be durable and stable with good traction. Snowshoes only come in a few sizes, but are available in assorted styles, colors and materials.
