- Are these boots fully waterproof?
- Yes. The leather upper has a waterproof membrane, so rain, slush and shallow snow stay out. Water can still get in over the top of the tall shaft or through the laces in deep conditions.
- How do they fit compared with other Salomon boots?
- They use Salomon's women's last, which runs fairly true to size with a snug heel and moderate toe room. Try your usual Salomon size first; wide feet may want a half size up.
- Are they good for summer hiking?
- No. The leather upper and waterproof layer trap heat, and the tall shaft is heavy on warm, fast trails. They are built for cold and wet conditions.
- Do they need breaking in?
- Yes. The leather and tall shaft start stiff, so wear them on short walks for a week or two before a long day out.
- What kind of terrain are they made for?
- Packed snow, slush, muddy paths and cold everyday walking. The rubber outsole handles mixed surfaces, but these are not crampon-compatible mountaineering boots.
- What is in the box?
- One pair of boots with the laces fitted. Insoles and care products are not included.
