Screwboots with Snowshoes

[Oldmanwinter]

I read some threads mentioning screwboots and am considering trying it out. My question is; does anyone have any experience with using snowshoes while wearing screwboots? Could the screwboots potentially damage or weaken the snowshoes?
Thanks,
OMW

I know several people that use them and they attach a piece of padding to the snowshoes in a footprint under the screws to protect the snowshoe decking. Several types of foam or elastomer (rubber) have been used.

I received this link from Tim Seaver a while back. It has some very helpful information.

Great link. I especially like the link he has for the Ice Kutter racing screws. Much better than what plain sheet metal, or the replacements they sell for Stabilicers.
