GOLD SERIES SNOWSHOES
Since 1997, we've focused on building the best binding on the market so you can focus on making your snowshoe experience the best it can be. The changes we’ve made to the SPL (single-pull-loop) binding include; enlarging the harness to capture more of your foot, adding a horizontal stabilizer beneath the footplate for greater control, and significantly changing the size of the stomp pad to increase both traction and comfort. All the Gold series shoes have thicker, abrasion resistant decking material which makes them more durable. And the features which have made Crescent Moon one of the most recognizable brands in the category, such as the unique tear drop shaped TIG welded frame and 3 claw traction system, remain the same. Crescent Moon’s unqiue 3 claw traction system which, in the Gold series are stainless steel (except for the Gold 12 running shoe) and finally,each TIG welded frame is brilliantly colored which makes Crescent Moon distinctly different from the rest of the market , both in the store and on the snow.

Running & Fitness

Even though we won last year’s 'Winter Gear of the Year' award for the Gold 12( Trail Runner Magazine), we decided to make further changes in our pursuit of a better running shoe. You’ll find the new Gold 12 is slightly larger and has more clearance in the toe, so you can go – faster. The Gold 12 is an athletic, responsive design with a simple and easy to use race binding which accommodates your favorite running shoe and compliments your natural stride. It’s a winning combination, you and the Gold 12. And if you’re really serious about training and competing consider the neoprene booties that fit over your running shoes for complete comfort and warmth. They’re awesome.

Women's

Crescent Moon was the first snowshoe manufacturer to design a women's specific model and series of shoes to accommodate the differences of a woman's stride. The Gold 13 features a frame which has been bent with a very steep nose and tapered tail to allow the shoes to pass by each other without changing the way you normally walk. With each step, the shoes will clear away from each other within the distance of your own natural stride. With the new 09/10 changes to the binding system you should expect an even greater snowshoe experience than ever before with more lateral stability and a huge stomp pad the size of a landing strip for your heel to touch down on and never stray from center. you’ll be flying up those hills.
