ABSTRACT:
A unitary, light weight metal I-beam frame member of generally oval plan configuration bears a first transverse spreader rod between lateral sides to support a flat swivel toe plate which extends across the top of the rod. The plate has fixed at its center a flexible strip material toe binding for partial wrapping of its opposite lateral sides about the toe of an inserted boot of the snow shoe wearer. The I-beam frame carries opposed sharp edges at its base for improved traction. Flexible sheet material pads are laced to the interior of the frame forward and aft of the binder to resist snow shoe penetration into the snow field during use. A U-shaped traction device is fixed to the bottom of the I-beam frame member, beneath the toe plate, and is notched on its lower edge to bite into the snow.
