Bindings thumb|Traditional bindings and soft-soled kamiks 150px|thumb|right|Underside of a modern fixed-rotation binding snowshoe, showing cleats for traction on steep slopes As is often the case with downhill skis, wood-frame snowshoes and suitable bindings are typically marketed and purchased separately rather than as a single piece. One common style is termed the "H" binding, as it consists of a strap around the heel crossing a strap around the toe and one at the instep, forming a rough version of the eponymous letter.
