Typically, and this is a generalization, a Native American snowshoe is going to consist of a wooden frame resembling a boat shape and then some type of lacing that forms a basket over it. The frame could be a turned up tip in the front and the back forms a "V" shape. This is a reliable shape to traverse through deep snow or challenging terrain as it provides ample flotation. These classic designs are still in use today and are available for purchase at many retail locations. The Ojibwa are a woodland people of northeastern North America whose unique snowshoe design has been copied many times.

Why do mountain hikers wear snowshoes with walking across areas with deep snow?

Why do mountain hikers wear snow shoes whilst walking over snow?Seems a bit self answering to me, but I'll humour it.They wear snow shoes because there's snow on the ground, and normal shoes would sink into it due to the high weights - surface area given by their current shoes. This' lowered by the snow shoes' greater surface area.
