.MORPHO® snowshoes don’t have a right or left
snowshoe. MORPHO recommends to wear the
snowshoes so that the ankle ratchet buckle and toe strap
buckles are on the outside of the foot so as to tighten
ankle and toe straps in the easiest way.
.Kneeling on one knee and wearing the other foot
snowshoe is the best position to be when putting on the
snowshoes. This gives you the best grip and leverage
for inserting and tightening the straps.
.Ankle and toe straps must firmly tightened around
your boot
.When rotating backward metallic climbing step to its
idle position make sure to fully push it down until it is
blocked by the 2 snowshoe base
rear hooks
. (fig.2)
.
Do not snowshoe on rock or concrete
, this causes
excess wear: take off snowshoes until you are back on
snow.
