ABSTRACT:
An improved snowshoe includes a rigid soleplate swingably mounted for pivotal motion about the forward edge of a rigid cross member extending transversely across and adjustably affixed to the peripheral frame of the snowshoe. A strap binding assembly is mounted to the upper surface of the soleplate to secure a wearer's boot to the soleplate. A spring assembly resiliently retains the soleplate and urges it forwardly about the forward edge of the cross member to augment the conventional action of the snowshoe in lifting the leading edge of the snowshoe upwardly with each step to thereby avoid catching of the leading edge in loose snow.
