My First Snow Shoes ― 2024/11/21
At any age, life gives you a first experience.
Today, at nearly 60, I got my first pair of snowshoes.
It felt fresh to say in the shop: "This is my first time...please help me". No one would expect me to say such a thing.

As a result of my questioning of the shop assistant, I learnt the following today.
1.To make walking on snow easier, check the depth of the tread on the sole. The deeper the better.
2. But once the surface is completely frozen, you have to be extremely careful when walking, even with snowshoes.
3. The fit of the shoes can vary from model to model. You need to try them on, but insoles may help.
Ceramic (the black bits) mixed in the sole material
4. Some soles are mixed with bits of glass or ceramic to improve grip. But don't trust these materials too much. They will disappear when the soles as a whole wear out anyway.
Located in one of the best parts of central Sapporo, this shop only sells functional shoes, no sandals, even in summer. In the hotter seasons, for example, it stocks rubber boots with very thin soles to make field work easier and more comfortable.
