Women's Backcountry Snowshoes - Leadville 29 Blue

The Leadville 29 women's snowshoe is for women up to 200lbs and the top pick for winter hiking on deep powder, steep terrain, and fresh snow. It's lightweight, very easy to maneuver and features a binding system so well designed and functional it has been recognized as the "best" women's snowshoe on the market by most outside magazines at some point during the last 22 years Crescent Moon has been making it. That's one small step for women, one giant snowshoe leap for women-kind. 

Leadville 29 Blue Aluminum Snowshoe Features

Men's vs Women's Snowshoes: Yes, there is a difference between men's and women's snowshoes.  Any model of women's snowshoes should reflect the fact that women are typically smaller and have shorter, more narrow strides.

The Leadville 29 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. The Leadville 29's are exceptionally responsive, lightweight, and comfortable on all snow conditions.

Each pair of snowshoes come with a pair of heel lifts.

What is a Heel Lift?

It's 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, a heel lift might be exactly what the doctor ordered. If you're spending most of your time on flatter or rolling terrain, you probably don't need the heel lift.

Our Philosophy

Sustainability

As an outdoor products manufacturer we feel obligated to try and make our snowshoes in a way that does no harm to the environment in which they are used. To that end, we set some basic rules and tenets for ourselves to follow early on in the history of Crescent Moon Snowshoes:

• Our snowshoes are built to last a lifetime by using the highest quality components possible. We can repair almost any kind of problem and at the end of their life, we can recycle most of the parts so that very little is going into the landfill.
• We source our snowshoe components from companies who share similar environmental philosophies to our own. And as more like-minded consumers demand environmental responsibility from suppliers and manufacturers, more and more suppliers will bring better technologies to the market.
• The plastic resins and sheet that are used in our bindings, heel pads, snow guards, have no PVC, VOCs, and plasticizers and are recyclable. The scrap decking material, TGS, has been recycled to make horse corral fill, and other uses are being explored.
• A minimum of 85% of the aluminum and stainless steel used in the construction of our snowshoes is from recycled metal.
• Waste generated in the manufacturing of our snowshoes is recycled including aluminum, stainless steel, plastic, cardboard, and paper.
• 100% of the energy we use is wind generated electricity.

It is our intent to make the waste we create totally accounted for whether through re-use or re-cycle and to use materials that are as environmentally respectful as possible. We’ll continue to research and look for ways to become better and we’re happy to respond to your questions and suggestions. In the meantime, we would also ask you to consider the environment and share whatever ideas you may have with us to make all of us more accountable.

Our “Take Me Back” Program

Send us your Crescent Moon Snowshoes that you no longer use. We will recycle the frames, rivets, claws, and bindings. If the snowshoes still have life, please donate them to a school, camp or program that can use them.
