These bindings are similar to some I’ve been looking to try, but the two vendors shown won’t ship to the U.S. Anyone know of another source?

The goal is to speed up getting my shoes on at the trailhead, without freezing my digits by fiddling with laces. I’ve tried several bindings and they either aren’t very secure or they are difficult to get tight. These look worth a try, but the Canucks are holding them hostage 😆.

Howe style leather bindings work well except for the wear on the strap that holds the binding onto the snowshoe webbing. I'd also swap out the instep strap with a cam- or friction-lock type strap. The kind used on backpacks and tie-ins. I only found them for sale on Amazon or Etsy, though.

I also used this style of binding with aluminum framed shoes and they do the job and are fairly quick to put on. But I noticed that just about every retailer is sold out.

 
Look like solid bindings and I like the way they attach to the webbing. I'd be concerned about the spikes rubbing into the webbing if the spacing isn't ideal for certain snowshoes.
