What are snowshoes?

Invented over 10,000 years ago by mountain hunters, snowshoes allow you to walk on snow without sinking by distributing your body weight. Today, they are made from light and durable materials and include small crampons to prevent slipping on icy surfaces. These tools attach to your boots and spread your weight, making it easy to walk on snow and enjoy winter hiking safely.
