- 9 - SNOWSHOE FOOTWEAR ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The attachment straps for snowshoes usually require a buckle type strap or tied construction which is difficult to retain over the toe of the boot or shoe during use. Tabs sewn to the side of moccasins are used to retain the straps but these are not usable with other types of footwear such as boots and the like. In one embodiment of the invention, the sole is widened out at the area of strap engagement and provided with vertically situated closed ended slots through which the straps engage thus holding the footwear in the desired position relative to the snowshoe. The preferred embodiment utilizes similar slots but opening out onto the periphery of the enlarged sole portion so that the strap can be engaged and disengaged without buckling. This also per- mits a closed elasticized strap to be used as it can be en- gaged and disengaged and snapped into position over the instep or vamp area of the boot or shoe.
