Product Description

Crescent Moon has been making snowshoes for walking, hiking and running for over 2 decades. We have built a reputation for innovation and

design, constantly challenging the norm and creating enjoyable snowshoeing experiences for beginners, backcountry and every use in between.

Based in the heart of snowshoe country, Colorado – our mission is to provide our customers with an unforgettable outdoor

winter experience, no matter where you live.

Designed by Women, for Women

Did you know Crescent Moon was the first to make a series of snowshoes designed for women? Long ago the co-founder of the company wanted a slightly smaller design with a more exaggerated teardrop design to better match her shorter stride.

We want everyone to have a snowshoe perfect for them, so we now offer two models designed for women (the Gold 13 and Gold 15). We have two dedicated to men as well (the Gold 10 and 17). The rest are unisex.

Point being, Crescent Moon snowshoes are designed to make you forget you’re wearing snowshoes at all.

Crescent Moon Gold Series Snowshoe Highlights

ALL FOOT ENCOMPASSING BINDING

Gold series snowshoes have the Crescent Moon single pull loop binding. The all foot encompassing binding is made of flexible polymer which wraps around your foot and provides excellent support and comfort and won’t come out of adjustment. With a pull of the loop on top of the binding the entire harness system is tightened – or loosened – with one hand – even with gloves on!

TEARDROP SHAPED PLATFORM

Our tear drop shaped frame provides outstanding maneuverability without loss of floatation. This unique shape allows you to walk and run naturally without changing your stride or waddling. The frames are made with high-grade aluminum tubing for strength. The decking is lightweight, durable, highly abrasion resistant, and quiet, noticeably different from plastic snowshoes.

SUPREME TRACTION

Aggressive 3 crampon stainless steel traction system provides outstanding grip in all terrains, but particularly in hard pack and icy conditions, and on climbs and traverses. We include Crescent Moon’s unique climbing toe claw which is important for digging in when climbing hills or mountains and helps with push-off when hiking or running. Gold 10 and Gold 17 snowshoes include extra traversing claws on the frame sides.

HEEL LIFTS INCLUDED

Gold series snowshoes include two lightweight removable heel lifts. What is a heel lift? It’s an optional feature for your snowshoes that makes climbing more efficient, improves traction, and increases your comfort by reducing the strain on your calves. Who needs a heel lift? If you ascend mountains & hills you’ll appreciate heel lifts. If you’re spending most of your time on flatter or rolling terrain, you probably don’t need the heel lift. Tools aren’t required to remove or put heel lifts on.

GOLD 13 TRAIL WOMEN’S SNOWSHOES

Recommended for use on designated trails

Designed by a woman, for women. Gold 13’s are responsive, lightweight, and comfortable on any trail. The frame has been bent with a steep nose and tapered tail. Because of this, with each step the shoes will clear away from themselves within your own natural stride without forcing you to adapt a new walking style like traditionally shaped snowshoes do.

Our entire Gold series utilizes our all foot encompassing binding system. You’ll feel support in every direction of movement – uphill, downhill, traversing terrain, walking, or running. Our binding system is easy and fast to get on and off. Instead of nylon we use hypalon strapping, a nearly unbreakable waterproof material.
