Complete Guide to Choosing the Ideal Snowshoe Size

Winter is here — and with it, the joy of exploring snowy trails with your snowshoes!
To get the most out of your winter hikes, it’s crucial to select the size that best fits your body, gear, and snow conditions.
Follow these expert tips to pick the perfect pair and maximize your performance.

1. How to Choose the Ideal Size for Your Winter Hikes

The size of your snowshoes depends mainly on your weight (including gear), your style of hiking, and the type of snow.
Larger snowshoes provide better floatation in deep snow, while smaller ones are easier to handle on packed trails.

Tip: Determine the type of terrain you’ll frequent most often — it will help guide your choice.

2. Match Your Gear to Your Activity

Your snowshoes must be compatible with your winter boots and shoe size.
Ensure that the bindings fit perfectly to prevent discomfort or accidental detachment.

Simard Sport Tip: Bring your boots when buying snowshoes to test the fit directly in-store, or contact us for a personalized online sizing guide!

3. Optimize Your Performance by Snow Type

• Packed or hard snow: Choose smaller, lighter snowshoes for better agility on groomed trails.

• Fresh or powder snow: Opt for larger models that provide better floatation and stability to prevent sinking.

Did you know? Some models at Simard Sport include modular extensions — perfect for adjusting snowshoe size based on snow conditions.

4. Size-to-Weight Ratio: What You Should Know

Each snowshoe model has a specific size-to-weight ratio, including your body weight and the gear you carry.

Example:

• A 25-inch snowshoe suits a person weighing up to 90 kg (200 lbs) including gear.

• A 30-inch model is better for heavier users or deeper snow conditions.

For optimal performance, check the manufacturer’s size chart or ask our expert team for guidance.
