A strap buckle, particularly for use in a snowshoe binding, operates somewhat as a cam lock buckle but instead of exhibiting pinching force on the strap which increases with increased back-pulling force, the buckle's spring loaded lever engages a nipple or protrusion more deeply into a hole in the hole-punched strap as back-pulling force increases. The buckle lever has a strong downward bend, so that a front end of the lever tucks the strap tail against the user's boot and aids in the releasing of the lever from the strap. |
