About GV Snowshoes Active Aerolite: This model of snowshoe is called the Active Aerolite. It is a shoe that was specifically designed for women. The frame of this shoe will be narrower, so it makes it easier for women to walk on. It is a 707 fine gauge aluminum framing. We also have the in-gauge decking. It’s a plastic that will take its original shape real fast after use. We have added some grooves onto the back part of the decking to add some traction. We also have our aluminum cleats that are Teflon-painted to prevent snow from sticking to the snowshoe. Incorporated in that back cleat there is a hiking lifter. The hiking lifter will help you have a straighter walk when you go up hills. It will keep your foot straighter, puts more pressure on the back cleat to keep traction going. It has a rigid pivot system, a ratchet for bindings with a front toe blade that will prevent the shoe from sliding too far front while walking down hills. We also have some rubber foam in the inner part of the harness to keep comfort.
