For those who have narrow and shorter strides, The Gold 13 Trail fits up to 165 lbs and or shoe size up to women's 12 or men's 10. It's lightweight, very easy to maneuver and features a binding system so well designed and functional it has been recognized as the “best” snowshoe on the market by most outside magazines at some point during the last 22 years Crescent Moon has been making it. The Gold 13 features a frame which has been bent with a very steep nose and tapered tail. Because of this unique teardrop shape, with each step, the shoes will clear away from themselves within the distance of your own natural stride without forcing you to adapt a new walking style, like traditionally shaped snowshoes do.
Each set of aluminum snowshoes come with a pair of heel lifts. An optional feature for your snowshoes, which adds 2 inches of platform under your heel and makes climbing more efficient, comfortable (by reducing the strain on your calf muscles), and improves traction. If you're located in the mountains, and you're snowshoeing up long, sustained climbs, bring the lifts along. If you're spending most of your time on flatter or rolling terrain, you probably don't need the heel lift.
