1. Untighten
toe strap
(by loosening completely the
notch
strap
from the
buckle
of the strap) as well as the
heel strap
so
as to insert your boots and to adjust the
heel strap
of
binding
to your boot size. See Fig.2
2. Place the toe of your boot
just exactly over the front part
of
the articulated binding, below the curved notch strap and
below tightening buckle.
3. Your boot is then well positioned: insert the loosened notch
strap (step1) inside the ratchet buckle around your boot; start
tightening the toe strap firmly
by
tightening
micrometrically the toe buckle
by moving back and forth
the lever of ratchet buckle
until you feel firmly tightened
..
Due to the flexible material of the binding front lateral parts
your boot perfectly fits the binding laterally
4. Adjust the heel strap to the proper size of your boot using the
elasticated rubber heel strap system. See Fig.2:
4a-Move the heel
rubber strap
through the heel size adjust
metallic buckle until a hole of the webbing reaches the right
size of your boot: the heel of your boot must tightly fit the back
of the heel strap for
perfect maintaining of the boot while
snowshoeing
4b-when size is correctly adjusted insert the rubber webbing in
the mobile hook, backwards so as to prevent the heel strap to be
loose in the snow
5.
Snowshoeing
:
articulated binding
moves around the
rotation axis morphologically along with your foot up and flat
on the snowshoe base
6.
After use
,
untighten heel strap
first: remove heel strap
webbing from the hook, get it out from the metallic buckle
retainer, loosen the size. Then untighten the toe straps: push on
the
release lever
of the ratchet buckle and pull out the binding
side from the notch strap while keeping pressure on the
buckle

.
ALWAYS rinse
snowshoes with water and brush to remove
mud and debris after every use.
.MORPHO® snowshoes don’t have a right or left
snowshoe. MORPHO recommends to wear the
snowshoes so that the toe ratchet buckles and heel 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.
.Heel and toe straps must firmly tightened around your
boot
.
Do not snowshoe on rock or concrete
, this causes
excess wear: take off snowshoes until you are back on
snow.
