Winter weather won’t keep you city-bound when you’re equipped with the Salomon’s Toundra Mid WP Winter Boot for Men. The Toundra’s advanced, nanotechnology-based Aerogels insulation handles extreme temperatures without weighing you down; extra warmth is provided by the faux-fur lining. Wet feet are a thing of the past thanks to the waterproof membrane.
A grippy Contagrip composite sole minimizes slips on snow and ice
Boots accept crampons easily when it’s time to hit the trail
Molded EVA midsole and EVA sockliner lends super cushioning and support
Rubber caps at heel and toes provide extra protection
Self-locking eyelets help keep laces from slipping
Bottom Line: Ready when you are for snowy winter hikes.
At a 45 degree angle, I don't think the boot is stiff enough to safely and securely hold the crampon in place. I would not hesitate to use a strap on style crampon, on this boot in general trekking, and snow/ice crossing situations where the terrain was mostly flat. But, that angle is too severe especially in a 'no fall' situation. The boot itself is nice, however, and will provide plenty of warmth and a general 'non specific' winter boot fit. Very durable as well! Good Luck.
Like others have said, these boots are terrific. Thought I'd share my experience with them. Purchased six months ago mainly with the idea of very cold weather bicycle commuting, where footwear has always been a problem, especially after -20F, with whatever the windchill factor might be added to that. Whatever I tried didn't really work: Too clunky to pedal in (Neo overboots), too cold-conducive (Sorels), etc. These boots have summarily solved all these issues. They are quite light, flexy, resistant to wet weather and very cold weather (riding at -25F with a single sock with no noticeable chill on the feet! WTF?!), and have a slim enough profile that pedaling and even jogging in them is just fine. They are also perfectly compatable with the two different snowshoe bindings I've put them in. Only major downsides: Made in China. And no removable liner, so I wouldn't take this on any extended backcountry trips, and leave that job up to the good ol' Sorels instead. These two points aside, they've been a perfect boot so far and get my full recommendation. Hope this is helpful!
This boot is incredibly warm, waterproof, and has great traction. Wearing them on a winter hike I fell into a snow covered hole full of water. Went into almost to my right knee. I was about a mile and a half from home. I was pretty concerned. I did not need to be. I could tell my heavy sock was wet but my foot very quickly warmed up and presented no problem at all hiking home. Because my foot remained warm, along with my lower leg, the soaking wet pant leg and long underwear did not keep my leg cold. Most incredible boot I have ever had. Buying some for my sons.

Anyone else have concerns about how the flex of this boot is when walking? The bend it makes leaves creases and doesn't seem natural, it concerns me that this will cause cracking in the future. Thoughts or long term experience with this boot? Thanks.
Bought these when they first came out with no reviews. I've used them in Alaska riding snowmachines and other winter activity. They are extremely light weight but very warm. Would highly recommend!!!
I was wondering how rigid these boots are? I'm looking for something that is flexible, warm, and water resistant for getting around in the mountains and will stop me from walking home with two ice cubs instead of feet. Recommendations or feedback about that?
