Are these boots truly waterproof?

Yes. The leather upper is waterproof and the tongue is gusseted, so snow and slush do not get in through the laces.

How cold can I wear them?

The Aerogel insulation is designed for deep winter cold. They run warm, so they are overkill for mild days.

They fit close to standard Salomon sizing. The stiff leather and thick insulation mean some owners size up for thicker socks.

Yes. The lugged rubber outsole and neutral EVA midsole suit winter trails and snowshoeing, though they are heavy for fast hiking.

The shaft is 205 mm, high enough to keep snow out above the ankle.

The protective toecap shields toes from rocks, ice chunks and trail debris.
