How to use snowshoes properly
Before putting on your shoes:
There is one snowshoe for the left foot and one for the right. Make sure you have the right snowshoe for the right foot by looking for the pictogram on the snowshoe's sieve.
Adjustment:
Adjusting your snowshoes is essential for safe use.
1/ Your foot must be in contact (front and back) to optimize the shoe's fit.
2/ The straps or buckles (depending on the model) must be tightened as much as possible.
Choosing rackets according to weight:
The choice of snowshoes depends on the weight of the hiker (including the weight of his backpack), to enable him to stay on the surface of the snow. This is called lift. There are different sizes of snowshoes to best suit hikers' body sizes and practices.
Our advice:
15 to 50 kg: children's model
40 to 80 kg: small to medium screen
60 to 120 kg: large screen
The climbing wedge for greater ease on slopes:
Choose snowshoes with an ascending wedge for easier, more comfortable walking on slopes. This removable wedge raises the heel. Use it on steep ascents to reduce the effect of the slope and save energy.
