What are snow shoes and what do they do?
Shoes are mounted on the back of the blade, a.k.a., moldboard and allow the operator to create a space/gap between the cutting edge and ground. The shoes actually engage the surface as opposed to the cutting edge. This space/gap is sometimes needed depending on the surface being ploughed. Gravel roads, pavers, and/or special decorative driveways are examples where shoes may be utilized.
