Snowshoes work by distributing a person's weight over a larger surface area, preventing them from sinking into the snow. The large surface area of the snowshoes helps to provide better traction and stability, making it easier for people to walk on snow without sinking or slipping.

How does the Canadian lynx walk in snow?

The Canadian Lynx is able to walk in the snow due to it's 'larger-than-normal' feet. Larger feet give you more surface to walk on, spreading your weight more evenly over it, and lessening the sinkage into the snow. Think of snow shoes that people wear on their feet - the giant tennis racket looking things. Same thing with the Lynx.

How do snowshoes help people walk in in deep snow?

Snowshoes are basically like wearing tennis racquets (rackets in America) on your feet. They are designed to spread your weight over a larger area and help prevent you sinking too deeply into the snow. Ice skating shoes have a narrow blade beneath that is designed to glide the wearer over the ice (ice rink, frozen pond or frozen canal, etc). Neither footwear is interchangeable. Imagine trying to figure-skate while wearing shoe-shoes! Or crossing the Klondike in winter wearing ice skating shoes!
