If you have a hankering to cross the ice cap, or just want a really warm, protective boot with great traction for snowmobiling, taking the early chair to operate a ski lift, or chop another load of frozen firewood, the Toundra Pro CSWP is a great choice. Aerotherm™ aerogel technology makes them warm to -40°f / -40°c.

Light, but warm shoes. You can manage up to -5°C easily with a thin sock, no experience with colder yet, but I don't doubt that it would be fine in Finland in the winter pretty much anytime. The laces require a bit of getting used to, because the shoes do not have lace locks in the lower part of the shaft, typical of hiking shoes. Knots at the ends of the straps help prevent the straps from escaping through the loops.

Compared to the previous model I used, the development of the shoe has now gone backwards: wobbly and clumsy, insufficient tightening of the metatarsal which causes movement of the foot/heel and a seam on the inside of the shoe in the middle of the heel like sugar on the sole and a nasty rubbing feeling, especially when going uphill! The previous model I used had a Gore-tex membrane and a more flexible ankle part. The reason I changed the previous model was that I tripped over the strap buckles a few times and one buckle came off. The only plus for the shoe is the heat retention. Suitable for standing in the cold; not for hiking. (Salomon Nytro GTX was my previous model)

The first really warm winter shoes, in which you can walk without worries with ordinary sports socks in -20 degrees below zero. In general, the physical size is quite large, apparently due to insulation. If you come up with something negative, it takes a while to wear, so they are not very quick to wear.
