Snowshoes have been round for five,seven hundred years. However this yr Boulder, Colorado–based mostly Crescent Moon has made the world’s first all-foam model. Velcro bindings hold your footwear strapped to a teardrop-formed platform created from two layers of ethylene-vinyl acetate, or EVA, the identical stuff used to style flip-flops. The snowshoes may look low-tech, however the mixture of cleats and tire-like treads present ample traction, particularly on hardpack trails. Unsure you’re the snowshoeing sort? Firm cofounder Jake Thamm is assured this design will change your thoughts. “I might describe it as a gateway drug,” he says. So the subsequent time the paths behind your home look impassibly piled with snow, you understand what to do.
