I am in need of new bindings for a couple of pairs of snowshoes. I want something that is easy on and off and no plastic buckles/clips. Bob Maki style would be great.

Bob Maki style would be great. Could make your own with some heavy inner tube rubber and cord.

Figure 8 made out of 1 in. synthetic webbing . Twist on . (the way the natives did it )Look on you tube on how to tie it .Once tied after the first time you never tie of buckle.

bike inner tube put your boot on the shoe , tie down the toe , make a few extra passes around the toe cord then tie behind the heel easy off easy on carry a spare in your pocket easily hands free is the way to go step on the shoe with opposite foot put heel in the strap pull back and slip toe in , repeat for second shoe same thing to get out
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I have used the Bob Maki bindings for a couple decades. They hold up well and are not too hard to get on and off. I keep my shoes in the basement during the winter when I use them as the bindings sure stretch easier warm then cold.
Bryce I do the same. I have them in two different sizes for two different boots. One for warmer weather and one for really cold stuff. I like them because they are somewhat rigid and you can twist and turn your snowshoes without them flopping all over the place.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!
