ABSTRACT:
A snowshoe has a front claw and shoe harness assembly including a molded, conclave footpad. The footpad has front-to-back concavity so as to cradle the ball of the user's foot, helping the user locate the foot properly and preventing slippage fore-and-aft and rotationally relative to the snowshoe. In preferred embodiments, the contoured footpad is of a rubbery, somewhat compliant material to further promote friction and cradling of the ball of the shoe.
