Anyone knows who sells show shoes for kids? My son is 3 years old and we'd like to go snow shoeing (?) once there is snow again (been raining for days in ottawa). Wife and I bought some from costco last year..

No idea, but just wanted to say I think it's awesome that you're even considering it.

My 2.5 year old hikes with us all the time, and I've considered pulling him in a sled with me on x-country skiis, but snowshoes hasn't even crossed my mind. I bet it'd be real slow going, though. :cheesygri

I'm sure it will be slow but speed isn't really the point. Who walks fast with snow shoes? :lol: It's mostly so that he enjoys it and maybe we can go bird watching as well... Let's hope we get some snow however!
