A great looking pair of "Bear Paw" vintage snowshoes from Canada. Thick raw hide lacing and hand-hewn white ash frames with light leather bindings add to the decor value. The use of bear paw snowshoes like these can be traced back to eastern and northern Canadian Indian people. Bear paw snowshoes provided silent and efficient movement for hunting and long-distance hiking in deep snow due to their shortness and width. If you are looking for a fine pair of antique snowshoes to enhance your chalet decoration, these would look great!
The Bear Paw traditional wood snowshoe is used for hunting, trapping, and long-distance hikes in dense forests. Its width and shortness provide efficient and silent movement in forest areas, and better flotation in deep snow. It is the second most well-known snowshoe shape. It originated among the Indian peoples of eastern Canada and from the Canadian Far North, particularly from the Innu people (Montagnais).
