These snowshoes have their roots with the Huron people who lived along the Saint Lawrance river in southern Canada and the North eastern united states. Similar in general shape and function to the Alaskan snowshoe, the Huron's upturned toe and large surface area excel at covering distances over open trail through any depth of snow.

Similar in general shape and function to the Alaskan snowshoe, the Huron's upturned toe and large surface area excel at covering distances over open trail through any depth of snow. These snowshoes have their roots with the Huron people who lived along the Saint Lawrence river in southern Canada and the north eastern United States. They were further developed by French trappers, moving northward to explore and search for wealth. They are an excellent snowshoe for larger people, for carrying large packs, and for anybody looking to explore different traditional styles.
Materials: Ash, Nylon Lacing
Snowshoe Sizing
Picking Your Snowshoe Size Roughly match snowshoe size to your body weight plus the weight of any pack. As a rule, smaller shoes are easier to walk on. If close to a size break, choose larger shoes if you have long legs, wear a hefty pack, regularly break trail or have light, fluffy snow. Choose smaller shoes for shorter legs, denser snow or packed trails (even if new snow covers the old tracks).

Century Old Tradition
Our Traditional Steam Bending
- We steam bend our snowshoes by hand, in small batches. No chemicals are used in this process.
- We keep in mind that each piece of wood is unique. Each will bend and flex differently requiring true craftmanship.
- This steam bending technique has been passed down for generations.
Lacing & Finishing
- Our skilled artisans lace our snowshoes are by hand.
- Each snowshoe is dipped in heavy-duty polyurethane.
- After multiple coats and plenty of curing time, these snowshoes are ready to be work and enjoyed for years.
