Crescent Moon Leadville 29 Women's Backcountry Snowshoes

The Women's Leadville 29 Backcountry Snowshoes is a larger snowshoe with more surface area for significant floatation yet has an extreme taper to accommodate the narrower and shorter strides most women have, much like Crescent Moon's other women's aluminum framed models.

The Leadville 29 women's snowshoe is for women up to 200lbs with footwear sized from Women's 6 up to a Men's 15. This model continues to be a top pick among professionals and enthusiasts for winter hiking on deep powder, steep terrain, and fresh snow. The Leadville is especially appropriate for backpackers, skiers, and snowboarders needing extra floatation and excellent traction without much drag, bulk, or notable weight. This is one of the leading backcountry snowshoes in the world for women, often cited for its reliability in remote areas and smart binding design.

The Leadville 29 features a frame which has been bent with a very steep nose for ascents and clearance along with a tapered tail for mobility and true tracking throughout one's stride. 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.

• Lightweight but long-lasting durable components
• Easy on/off bindings with ratchet buckles and quick release adjustments for one handed used with gloves on
• Women's Tear-Drop shape
• Stainless steel traction from toe to heel
• Crescent Moon is the only snowshoe to have a toe claw which is important for digging in when climbing hills or mountains and helps with push-off when hiking or running
• Unique fold method of attaching the decking to the frame using machined rivets to prevent excessive force on the connection parts, preventing failures
• The decking is lightweight, durable, highly abrasion resistant, and quiet, noticeably different from plastic snowshoes
• Made in Boulder, CO, USA using environmentally considerate manufacturing processes and components. These snowshoes are 95% recyclable
• Includes a pair of heel lifts for leveling the foot position relative to steep ascents

The bindings are made with an anatomical design for both L/R. They fit a wide range of sizes and boot types, including tele and snowboarding boots. They are very comfortable with adjustments that allow you to customize to your unique footwear shape (instep, widths, and girth).

Each set of aluminum snowshoes come with a pair of heel lifts, 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.
