Write your question here...I am not sure if this is the snowshoe I have or not but it looks similar except mine are black and red. My home burned last February and my shoes did, too. These were given to me by a friend. I had trouble with the bindings on my old shoes, they wouldn't stay on, slipping off the heel. I was kind of excited about new ones, thinking the bindings would be better. Well, they are different, but not better. These bindings slip off, too.Any ideas on how to keep them on my boot?I love my Tubbs shoes but it is a big pain to have them come off all the time. I am 56 and snowshoe every day in the woods around my home, bending over to adjust them constantly really takes some of the fun out of the sport for me.Thanks.Carol

That's really unfortunate Carol, I can definitely see how that could get annoying day in and day out! I don't know how much help I'm going to be, but I will try! I hope these are the type of bindings you have, because there are many different types made by Tubbs alone. The first thing that should go without saying is just pull the backstrap as tight as you can get it! The only thing I can think of doing, if the snowshoes themselves are failing you, is to fix it yourself, and what I mean is take a shoelace or small piece of rope, and tie a Larks Head knot around the backstrap(http://www.geospectra.net/kite/knots/knot09.jpg) and then take the ends and bring them around to the front of your boot(or even rap them around a few times) and tie them in the front. Might not be pretty, and may be a pain, but it should help keep it up during your hike. I hope you figure something out, best of luck!
