Snow *****

I know nothing about snowsho3s, but I want a pair. What's a good, economic, option for those who know about them?

I bought mine a few years ago at Costco. I'm no expert on the subject, but they seem to work.

They now sell them bundled with poles I see.

Have an old pair of wood & deer hide ones at home. Things have been around forever and are still in fine shape.

You should be able to get a good pair of composite ***** for $100-$150.

Just make sure you get them properly sized. Most people don't realize that the bigger you are the more surface area you need to stay on top of the snow. (logical or what LD)

EDIT:

Why the fuck is Snow Sho3s blocked? Some kinky shit the admins are into?

Something about a bot that had something to do with sho3s so sho3s was blocked.


Thorne had one major thing to remember in your research that is the most important over build material and brand, and thats weight ratio's. A good ol' fashion set of wood snowsho3s will work a billion times better than a pair of space age high polymer composite titanium zync coated forcefield equiped rocket snowsho3s if the weight ratio's are not matching to what the unit can spread and what you weigh. :P

I've dealt with shoe buy. Shipping was pretty crappy, so ended up going through a friend in the states (free shipping in the US).

We censored shoes because of lots of spam from shoe sales sites. We haven't seen them in months so I just took it out of the censor. The thread should get updated soon.

Any particular brands I should be looking for? Ones I should avoid? Is there any formula for calculating size of shoe needed for my weight?
