ABSTRACT:
A snowshoe has a metal heel cleat of one-piece construction, providing the dual functions of angularly disposed teeth which extend down from the snowshoe's deck to engage snowy or icy terrain, and rows of serrations extending upwardly through a membrane, to a position for contact with the bottom of the user's boot heel for high friction, gripping engagement when weight is placed on the heel. The heel cleat device has a base platform which is positioned between two deck membrane layers, a lower of which is penetrated by the terrain-engaging cleat teeth and the upper of which is penetrated by the smaller, upwardly facing serrations which engage with the boot heel.
