Abstract: A snowshoe (1) whose webbing includes a flexible wall (4) maintained in tension inside a framework (2) by portions of the flexible mounting wall which define flexible mounting projections. Supplemental protection parts (8) are disposed surrounding the mounting projections to protect them from wear and impact.
Abstract: A snowshoe (1) made of a frame (2) holding a deck (3) meant to hold the user's boot, the aforementioned boot being held on the deck by a binding, characterized in that the snowshoe includes a transverse retaining element (4) extending transversely at the front of the user's foot, the aforesaid transverse element (4) being held by its lateral ends to the frame (2), while the aforementioned transverse element (4) is made of the combination of an upper transverse element (4a) and a lower transverse element (4b) so that the frame (2) is sandwiched between the ends of the respective transverse elements (4a, 4b).
Abstract: A device for laterally retaining a boot on a snowshoe (1), comprises a retaining plate (3) with a plane of general symmetry (P), on which are mounted front retaining means (4) made up of an assembly of retaining walls (4a, 4b) forming an enclosure in which the front and/or rear end of the boot is to be engaged. The device includes an adjustment structure for adjusting the distance between the two lateral retaining walls (4a, 4b), that is between a left wall (4a) and a right wall (4b).

Abstract: A snowshoe (1) whose binding (5) for retaining of the boot is mounted on a cross-piece (9) whose ends are mounted laterally to the snowshoe itself, characterized in that the aforementioned ends are mounted via two couplings (7a, 7b) of two rings, namely a left coupling (7a) and a right coupling (7b).
Abstract: A snowshoe (1) includes a binding (4) intended to retain the boot of the user and a plate pivoting around a transverse pivot axis (X, X?) including a retaining assembly for the boot. A longitudinal position of the rear retaining assembly is adjustable for in order to conform the longitudinal dimension of binding, with the size of the boot, by displacement toward the front or towards the rear and locking it in the chosen position. The front retaining stirrup is mounted to a front horizontally extending plate (7), which is pivotally retained on the webbing around the pivot axis (X, X?), while the rear retaining part is mounted on a lower support wall (9), extended toward the front by a sliding member (10) intended to cooperate, with a slide channel of corresponding form defined under the front plate (7) of the front retaining assembly (4a).
Abstract: A snow shoe (1) includes a tubular frame (2) defining an interior zone. A deck (4) which is surrounded by the frame is made in part of a film (3). A binding (7) retained on the deck for securing the boot of the user. A central technical bottom piece (15) enhances the traction and floatation properties, as well as the comfort of the snowshoe (1). The central technical bottom piece (15) which is arranged along the central portion of the tubular frame (2) includes a traction surface having lateral longitudinal traction portions (18a, 18b) extending vertically from the frame (2), in this manner, the traction characteristics in the transverse direction are enhanced. The traction portions (18a, 18b) may comprise lateral walls, spikes, blades, or the like. The traction portions (18a, 18b) extend in the downward direction from the outer edge of the snowshoe rather than from the middle areas of the snowshoe (1) to increase the comfort of the shoe (1).
