A binding for securing the boot of a user to a snowshoe has a semi-rigid
base with integral boot toe and boot heel control members and flexible
upper members of a softer and more compliant material then that of the
base connected to the base for embracing the boot upper; toe stops are
fixed to the boot toe control members for engagement by and proper
positioning of the toe of the boot; a heel strap extends between the boot
heel control members and embraces the boot heel for securing the boot to
the binding; and a 3-point closure system with quick mid-point
connect/disconnect interconnects between the flexible upper members for
varying the pressure exerted by the upper members on the boot upper while
permitting easy separation of the upper members.
