A prototype is a preliminary model of something. Projects that offer physical products need to show backers documentation of a working prototype. This gallery features photos, videos, and other visual documentation that will give backers a sense of what’s been accomplished so far and what’s left to do. Though the development process can vary for each project, these are the stages we typically see:

The most innovative design in snowshoes since the aluminum frame, we’re excited to launch our new Eva All-Foam Snowshoe here on Kickstarter and invite you to join us in bringing it to the market this fall.

The Eva All-Foam Snowshoe

We introduced it at the most recent trade shows where it was recognized with 7 Best Gear of Show awards, and Men's Journal ranked Crescent Moon’s Eva All-Foam Snowshoe No. 1 among the most important new products from Outdoor Retailer 2017.

Eva All-Foam Snowshoes' Top Side

Like no other snowshoe on earth, the Eva All-Foam Snowshoe looks and feels more like a big running shoe and will make your snowshoeing experience easier and more rewarding than any other snowshoe made.

the Eva All-Foam Snowshoe looks and feels more like a big running shoe and will make your snowshoeing experience easier and more rewarding than any other snowshoe made. It's an approachable and un-intimidating design that compels even those who have never tried snowshoeing before to get out there and enjoy the snow.

It invites you to put them on and step outside, whether you're in the city park, suburban trail system, or high in the rockies. One size fits all.

The Eva All-Foam Snowshoe is remarkably light, has a rocker shape, (which eliminates the ubiquitous rotational hinge on all other snowshoes), and is constructed of dual-density ethyelyene-vinyl-acetate (E-V-A), which is the lightest among all kinds of out-soles, while featuring tire-tread-like lugs for amazing traction.

They're fun on every kind of terrain.

So you may be asking, who would buy the Eva All-Foam Snowshoe?

The answer is anyone who loves winter, and getting out in the snow.

THE SPECS

The patent pending design features two layers of foam in a rocker shape to create a flexible, sturdy, 3 dimensional snowshoe. It's 24” x 8” x 2", this over-sized snow-sandal is as light as the word “foam” infers, and with a simple hook and loop system of straps not only goes on easily, but is secure and comfortable beyond any intuitive expectations.

The top of the all-foam snowshoe is cushioned and formed to fit the shape of your foot, providing a very comfortable sensation on even the hardest, roughest surfaces, while the bottom traction of the snowshoe is a highly durable and tough EVA composite that grips like a snow tire — with material similar to that found on football cleats.
