Women's Backcountry Snowshoes - Leadville 29 Green

The Leadville 29 women's snowshoe is for women up to 200lbs and the top pick for winter hiking on deep powder, steep terrain, and fresh snow. It's lightweight, very easy to maneuver and features a binding system so well designed and functional it has been recognized as the "best" women's snowshoe on the market by most outside magazines at some point during the last 22 years Crescent Moon has been making it. That's one small step for women, one giant snowshoe leap for women-kind.

Women's Backcountry Snowshoes - Leadville 29 Features

Men's vs Women's Snowshoes: Yes, there is a difference between men's and women's snowshoes.  Any model of women's snowshoes should reflect the fact that women are typically smaller and have shorter, more narrow strides.

The Leadville 29 features a frame which has been bent with a very steep nose and tapered tail. Because of this unique teardrop shape, with each step, the shoes will clear away from themselves within the distance of your own natural stride without forcing you to adapt a new walking style, like traditionally shaped snowshoes do. The Leadville 29's are exceptionally responsive, lightweight, and comfortable on all snow conditions.

Each pair of snowshoes come with a pair of heel lifts.

What is a Heel Lift? 

It's an optional feature for your snowshoes, which adds 2 inches of platform under your heel and makes climbing more efficient, comfortable (by reducing the strain on your calf muscles), and improves traction.

If you're located in the mountains, and you're snowshoeing up long, sustained climbs, a heel lift might be exactly what the doctor ordered. If you're spending most of your time on flatter or rolling terrain, you probably don't need the heel lift.
