Snowshoeing offers a low-impact aerobic activity that is accessible to all ages and skill levels. It is a perfect winter sport for families or solo hikers who want to explore new areas in their area, stay in shape, or enjoy the quiet solitude of a snow-covered trail.
Ski Boots & Snowshoes
The first step to getting started snowshoeing, is choosing the right shoes. It is important to have waterproof, durable and comfortable winter boots. You might also consider purchasing adjustable poles, which can be used to navigate the trails depending on your level of fitness.
There are many snowshoe styles available. To help you decide which snowshoe model is right for you, visit your local outdoor store.
The Best Snowshoes for Your Gait
The most important aspect of choosing a snowshoe is its shape. Your natural gait (walking motion) should be taken into consideration when designing the shoe. It should also be comfortable to wear. It must also support your weight.
You should also consider your leg length and height. If you are shorter than average, or have narrower feet, you will need a longer snowshoe.
Most snowshoes come with binding straps that can be placed on top of your foot. These straps attach to the front of the snowshoe via a small loop. Once attached, they hold your foot in place. Although they can be tricky to fit around your ankle, they should be very comfortable.
There are three types of binding straps that can be used to attach your foot to the snowshoe. Some models have a cup for the toe that you push into the snow, while others have two separate straps that are placed over the top of the foot and attached to the shoe frame.
Although they can be difficult to put on, bindings are necessary for safe and efficient transportation of your feet. They are an essential item for backcountry travel as they keep your foot on your frame and prevent your snowshoe from tipping over while you move up and downhill.
Select the "Flex" option for your ski boots
If you're planning to do an adventurous trip with a variety of terrain, you may want to consider a ski boot with a higher flex. This gives you more power transfer and control in difficult terrain.
A medium flex will suit beginners and intermediate snowshoers best, while a soft flex will work well for novice snowshoers.
