Is the Outchill TS CSWP warm enough for real winter?

It is rated for stationary comfort to 8.6 °F, with Thinsulate insulation and a waterproof membrane. That covers most winter hikes and cold commutes, but it is not a deep-cold expedition boot.

How does it compare with Salomon's other winter boots?

It sits between lighter uninsulated hikers and heavier snow boots: warmer and more waterproof than a summer boot, but lighter and more flexible than a mountaineering boot.

Does it run true to size?

It is built on a regular width with an 8 mm drop. Most shoppers take their usual Salomon size, and thicker winter socks may call for a half size up.

Is it actually waterproof?

Yes. A ClimaSalomon waterproof membrane sits under the Nubuck leather upper, so wet snow and slush stay out as long as the leather is kept proofed.

A pair of boots. Insoles and socks are not included.

Can I wear it for everyday walking, not just hiking?

Yes. The light weight and 8 mm drop make it comfortable for commuting and dog walks, and the winter lugs handle icy pavements better than a street shoe.
