The 821 & 825 Snowshoe Kits fit most standard hiking boots up to size 12. Some oversized hunting or work boots may not be suitable for use with included heel strap. For shoe sizes 12 and above, we offer an Extended Heel Strap.
The 930 Snowshoe Kit already comes standard with the Extended Heel Strap.
Which size is right?
We understanding picking your snowshoes size can be a bit confusing. Below are some questions we have received from customers. Follow these examples to help make your choice a little easier.
Size is based solely on the weight. So if the total load weight is 150 and you are 6 feet tall or 5 feet tall you would use the same size shoe.
SAFETY MESSAGE
Cascade Mountain Tech snowshoes are recommended for adult use only.
While snowshoeing is a beginner friendly activity we recommend all users be properly educated themselves by taking winter safety and/or avalanche safety classes, and practice with your gear in a safe environment prior to hitting the snowy trails.
The storage bag zippers are not explicitly designed to lock, but a small luggage lock or zip tie can be used.

Snowshoes FAQs
While the shoes can be used on either foot, we recommend finding the Left and Right indicator on the pull tab of the heel lift.
The integrated heel lift alleviates calf strain and fatigue on steeper inclines. If you are snowshoeing up a steep incline, you’ll benefit from the comfort and efficient functioning of this helpful feature. To use, simply pull up on the rubber pull tab until it clicks into place. Now the heel of your foot will rest on the heel lift as you hike up the incline.
(Follow these instructions if the shoe is on the correct foot as described above.) • Tighten the straps by pulling the brightly colored rubber grip inwards until comfortable • To loosen, locate the smaller strap attached to the brightly colored binding tabs. Pull this smaller strap outwards.
Easy Pull Binding
Tightening the heel strap
We recommend using a stable, insulated, waterproof hiking boot when snowshoeing.
Ski boots are too large to use with the snowshoes. Typical snowboard boots up to size 12 will fit in a Large (930) snowshoe.
They are unisex, just choose the proper load weight for your adventures.
No. Trekking poles are recommend for increased balance and stability.
The included carry bag is large enough to hold everything included in the Snowshoe Kit. Start by laying one snowshoe on top of the other and put them into the bag with the toe pointed into the bag first. Then place your trekking poles and accessories in.
The storage bag zippers are not explicitly designed to lock, but a small luggage lock or zip tie can be used.
