A binding for a snowshoe has an injection molded base or footbed with
integral control wings for cradling the shoe generally as in U.S. Pat.
No. 5,259,128. The base preferably has toe stops at the forward end,
positioned asymmetrically on the base to better individually contour to
the left shoe and the right shoe. At the inner side of the foot the toe
stop is farther forward. The lower end of the arch side control wing is
positioned to cradle the shoe arch while the outer side control wing is
at an offset position to engage an aft area of the shoe. Also, the width
of the binding can be adjustable at the arch. These features provide a
better connection of the snowshoe to the shoe, greater stability in use
of the snowshoe and greater comfort to the user.
