The Tubbs Womens Wayfinder Snowshoe is a recreational snowshoe that incorporates all of the high end design features Tubbs is known for, in a less aggressive package, suitable to snow-covered meadows, city parks, and maintained trails. Featuring the Fit-Step™ Frame, this aluminum frame creates a 10% reduction in musculoskeletal impact on your hip, knee and ankle joints, and a natural gait when walking, for longer walks with less fatigue. The Rotating Toe Cord technology allows the tail of the shoe to drop, shedding snow with every step, so you’re lifting less weight, giving you a 7% reduction in cardio-respiratory strain advantage as you stride along. Since struggling with bindings is definitely not fun Tubbs has put a Custom Wrap™ BOA® Binding on this shoe, for a quick turn of the knob click in system that accommodates everything from your hiking boot to a heavier pack boot comfortably in a binding that wraps securely around the foot for lateral support. Done for the day? Pop the knob up and you’re out and on your way to hot chocolate. Fit with recreational heel and toe crampons these have plenty of bite and grip on the moderate uphill and down for confidence. Add a pair of poles and you’ll have a complete winter workout right out your back door. A great choice for the family buying a fleet of shoes for winter woods walks or playing in the park, these are also the “spare pair of choice” for many Vermont families who like to have an extra pair when visitors arrive.
