The oval or teardrop shape and pointed toe allow for efficient movement in cold weather conditions common to Canadian and northern European theaters of operation. Straps or harnesses, originally made from leather or canvas, secure the snowshoes to standard military footwear. These snowshoes were issued to soldiers operating in snowy environments, particularly in reconnaissance, patrol, and supply missions where reliable mobility was critical.

Surviving examples often show period wear, with patina on the wood and minor repairs reflecting field utilization during the 1940s.
