What model of snowshoes should you buy?
Do you enjoy hiking? Then this winter, discover fabulous landscapes in a timeless atmosphere with snowshoes! This sport does not require any specific infrastructure. You simply need to put your snowshoes on and take snowy hiking trails. You take advantage of the winter atmosphere to see nature a whole different way, with the muffled cracking of ice under your feet, the sound of snow falling from surrounding trees, the tracks left by passing animals. To be enjoyed alone or with your family, snowshoeing is easy to do and affordable.
What model to choose to discover this sport at your own pace?
In order to offer a model suited to your level and your pace, manufacturers have broadened their range. If you have never been snowshoe hiking or are planning short walks this winter, Glisshop recommends a discovery model. It will offer a good flotation to stay on top of the snow without effort. Once the lock adjustment is set to your shoe size, your snowshoes are then put on in a few seconds for the rest of the season. On clear paths or in the woods, discovery models allow to venture everywhere at your pace. The TSL Escape or the Inook Futura are entry level models with good performance.
Are you looking for a performance snowshoe to go on long hikes?
Then comes the touring range, including the Odyssey and Odalys from Inook and the Tour from TSL. These models are designed to eat up the miles. It is even possible to run with them. They are lighter than discovery models and feature adjustable heel lifts making ascents easier. This heel wedge can be intuitively put on or removed with a trekking pole. It enables for a more natural walking stance when the slope gets steeper. When descending fast or for technical sections, the snowshoes can be locked in a simple click to prevent them from balancing unnecessarily under the feet. In case you encounter an ice patch, the cleats under the sole and the crampon at the front take care of everything, providing a perfect hold. Be careful not to go on an insanely steep slope, because while the grip is impressive on the ascents, it is a different matter on the descents, as the front crampons become useless. Snowshoes are designed as a hiking accessory and should stay that way.
Choosing the right snowshoes for children
The youngest also have the right to their specific models, adapted to their small height and easy to put on. Children's snowshoes generally feature a single elastic band allowing for easy entry and appropriate support to walk on flat terrain. They are meant for young children above 15 kg (2.36 st).
What are the right shoes for snowshoeing?
You can immediately forget some snow boots and other Moon Boots that are definitely too soft. To enjoy nice hikes in good conditions, is it essential to have good ankle support. Thus, Glisshop recommends winter shoes in leather, a robust material to endure the abrasion from the straps, preferably waterproof and high top models to prevent snow from entering. Regarding insulation, it all depends on your wishes and the weather conditions. If you are planning on going out in temperatures well below zero, do not hesitate to go for a wool lining or a high-end fur. At Glisshop, you will find a wide selection of compatible shoes in our winter shoes corner.
