It was less trouble than trying to reattach them every time I walked. Once I locked them in place three winters ago, I never removed them. Perhaps I should mention I keep the boots attached to the snowshoes. The second one involves a little more effort. Getting the first one off is easier because I step on the back of the snowshoe. I assure you, it is no small feat wrestling my feet from the boots. The second, heavier sock is a Heat Holder from Parker’s and reaches my knees. The first sock I wear is a Hochman from Costco. Then I unlace my boots and tug on them until I free my feet. My routine involves sitting on a chair by the back steps, taking a broom and brushing off as much snow as possible from the snowshoes. However, it took almost as much exertion pulling off my snowshoes as it did breaking fresh trails. Then I made a few rounds in my backyard and that was the end of my exercise. It’s only a few steps from his truck to my tank, but I tried to make his job a little less stressful by clearing a path. My driveway will stay where it belongs instead of being scattered all over the yard.Īfter doing what I could in that area, I broke trail for the propane man. Of course he didn’t listen, but a kind neighbor volunteered to use his snowblower this year so my worries are over. It was my way of asking him to take snow, not chunks of earth, when he plowed. First I tramped down my driveway to make a base for the plowman. I didn’t go far and I didn’t last long, but it was a start. When the first heavy snowfall covered everything with a blanket of white, I knew it was time to dust off my snowshoes and break trail.
