Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a hiking boot warm?
Thermal insulation that locks in warmth even in bitter cold, where a standard boot would leave your toes freezing. Paired with a waterproof membrane, it keeps your feet warm and dry on snow and ice, even when you're stood still.
Are these boots compatible with snowshoes?
Yes, most stiff-shanked winter hiking boots attach to snowshoes without any issue. Their rigidity also allows them to take crampons for icy stretches or steep terrain - just check the compatibility details listed.
How to keep your feet dry in the snow?
Choose a boot with a waterproof membrane and a high cuff that stops snow getting in, topped off with a gaiter if needed. Keep your socks dry: a wet foot cools down fast, even in a well-insulated boot.
Should you size up for winter?
Allow a little extra room so you can wear thick socks and let the blood circulate - that's what keeps your feet warm. That said, avoid a boot that's too loose: your heel needs to stay firmly in place. Try them on with your winter socks to get the right fit.
