What do you use for big boots? My old strap ones don't work with bunny boots. Any ideas?

They may cost about $30 but buy some Bob Makki bindings. They are rubber and you can make them out of rubber material, but I have been using two pair of those for recreational snowshoeing for about 5 years. I just threw my other types away when I found out how well these worked. The only problem I have is if you leave them out like in your trunk when it is say zero or below they get really, really hard to stretch.

My was I shocked to see the price of snow shoesnow-a-days.. guess I have a 3000$ worth of wall hangings at the cottage.
Once you see the design then they can be made with truck or bus inner tub tires. Old timer by the name of Des Williams tried to sell me the Pat. that he had back in 1977 for these, my mistake.

check out American Traders (www.amtraders.com/ss-bindings.asp)
Their "A3 leather work binding" is great for bigger boots, pricey, but worth it.
Their traditional snowshoes are extremely well made -- but can't compare to new designs especially MSR (Mountain Safety Research) brand that has a full crampon running round the entire frame, a heel lift for steep climbs and binding that never come loose.
