Putting on Snowshoes

Note

Before starting on your first snowshoeing outing you should practice putting the snowshoes on. Preferably outdoors to prevent scratches indoors.

Please note the right and left marking on the snowshoes.

1. Adjust the heel strap (3) to your shoe size. The shoe size is marked on the heel strap.
2. Place the snowshoe on a level surface with the binding open. Insert the foot into the snowshoe with your foot pointing straight forward (Fig. B). Pulling by the flap, pull the heel strap upward to ankle height.
   Now firmly place your foot all the way back against the heel strap (Fig. C).
3. Now pull the tension strap (4) tight (Fig. D). Tighten the binding so the shoe is straight and firm.

Then secure the tension strap loop to the attached clips (6).

Note!

Verify your foot is correctly positioned by flipping the heel lift up. When flipped up the heel lift should be positioned at the centre of the heel.

Removing Snowshoes

Press the quick-release lever (5) outward to release the tension strap (4). You will now be able to slide your foot out of the binding.

Cleat Cover

When the item is not in use please cover with the included cleat guard. The elastic bands do not need to be released. Place the end of the cleat cover with the shorter elastic band over the rear pointed end of the snowshoe. Then place the sheet over the snowshoe crampons. Once the cleat cover is correctly positioned, double wrap the elastic around the front part of the snowshoe.

Gear

Shoes

Use conventional mountain, hiking or trekking shoes.

Clothing

Adapt your clothing to weather conditions. In changing weather you may choose to wear layers of clothing. This will allow you to quickly adjust your clothing to conditions.

Poles

Ski or trekking poles will make it easier to snowshoe. They will help with balance, thus enhancing stability. Use poles with large baskets to minimise sinking in deep snow.

Stride Techniques

Note

When using the step-by-step and duck-step method the heel lift can make it easier to walk on inclines. Simply flip the heel lift up when needed. Then on level terrain flip it back down.

Step-by-Step (Normal gait) (Fig. E)

On level terrain, gentle slopes or uphills.

Simply take smooth parallel steps. The width of the step is determined by the width of the snowshoes.

Duck Step (Fig. F)

This stride technique, similar to skating step in skiing, used on inclines to prevent stepping on your own feet. Firmly plant each step to ensure the snowshoes grip securely.

Kick Step (Fig. G)

In kick-step you will be walking up steep inclines perpendicular similar to a crab. Keep your body straight. Plant each step firmly. Keep looking directly at your goal (e.g. the top of the hill).

Line Step (Fig. H)

Use this technique to climb hills switchback style. Place one foot in front of the other parallel to the hill. To conserve energy the switchbacks can be drawn out.

Environment

Especially during winter months when we humans start to enjoy winter sports animals are struggling in their search for food.

Please keep in mind:

• Avoid routes through forest reserves and game reserves.
• Stay on marked routes and trails in forests.
• Keep dogs on a leash, especially in the forest, to protect wild animals.
• Avoid the outskirts of forests and snow free areas, as this may be an area for wild animals.
