What brand of traditional snowshoes?

"Bridging" is the biggest reason traditional snowshoes break. In all honesty, I have accidentally bridged these antiques a number of times but quicklu alleviated the situation.

i have used a pair of h. h. hosmer's shoes for the last twenty years that were made in the early 1930S. they have been treated respectfully, but not babied. i use them maybe 5-6 times a year and keep them outside under the porch year-round so they don't dry excessively and get brittle. they are still going strong. hell, that ain't bad lifespan for a human.

take care, daniel

As jumpshot said, Faber snowshoes are :thumbsup: the best I've seen for the price and are tough and long lasting. Usually a real good pair can be had for under $200.00 (not including shipping) and they back their product up. Had mine for about two tears now and my son just got a pair.

I have a couple old pairs of Iversons which I swear by, big Michigans. They used to have innertube binding, with an extra rolled up and tied to the toes, but I replaced them with Bob Makis. Maybe not as traditional as straps, but I find that they hold better and are easier to get on (though harder to get off).
