[|Human|] What are snowshoes?
[|AI|] Snowshoes provide a way for people to walk on top of snow without sinking in by spreading their weight over a wider surface than typical shoes. The typical snowshoe is made of metal or wood, has a strap for attaching regular shoes or boots, and often also has some sharp grip at the bottom to help prevent slipping on ice.
