Snowshoes vary in shape, size, weight, load capacity, binding and traction. Some of the common types of snowshoes include:

• wooden or wicker snowshoes - these are traditional snowshoes that have a round, oval or square shape and leather binding. They are suitable for flat or slightly undulating terrain, but they are not very stable or comfortable.

• plastic snowshoes - they are modern snowshoes that have different shapes, for example rectangular, arrow-shaped, or asymmetrical. They have plastic or rubber bindings and steel spikes or chains to improve grip. They are suitable for steeper or icy terrain, but are heavier and noisier.

• hybrid snowshoes - they are a combination of plastic and metal snowshoes that have a metal frame and a plastic plate. They have adjustable bindings and different types of spikes and chains. They are suitable for different types of terrain, but are more expensive and require more maintenance.
