From sneakers with built-in gaiters to burly boots with temperature-sensitive rubber, there have never been more options for cold-weather kicks. For aerobic snowshoeing, hiking, or trail running, you might not need any insulation. But if you’ll be standing around a lot, or you live someplace especially cold, you’ll need lots of stuffing. Buy a boot with a temperature rating 10 to 15 degrees lower than you need. If there’s no rating, 200 grams of insulation should keep you warm when temps drop below freezing; 400 grams will carry you into single digits.
2013 Winter Buyer's Guide
Saturday, October 27, 2012
Like the Salomon Snowcross CS, the uninsulated Winter 110 is essentially a minimalist running shoe (9 ounces; 4-millimeter heel-to-toe drop) wrapped in a waterproof-breathable gaiter. The outsole lugs shed snow like a champ.
Got Gaiters? Our favorites are still Outdoor Research's light, packable, breathable Verglas ($54).
