ABSTRACT:
A snowshoe substantially entirely formed of plastic and including a peripheral rib defining front, central and rear sections, the rear and central sections being substantially flat and the front section extending upwardly in a smooth fashion from the central section to define an upturned tip portion, the rear section including latticework forming openings to permit passage of snow, the central section including means for securing a foot harness to the snowshoe with central portions of the central section adapted to support the foot of a user and including latticework to preclude trapping of snow between the foot of the user and the uppersurface of the snowshoe, portions on both sides of the central portion being substantially continuous to preclude passage of snow and provide additional flotation to the snowshoe. An integral tail may be defined on the snowshoe and tip portion may be substantially continuous to preclude catching on branches. Cleats are provided on the undersurface of the rib to assist in breaking snow crust and ice spikes are provided on the undersurface beneath the areas adapted to support the toe and heel of the foot of the user.
