User Review: Salomon SM Expert

Salomon SM Expert
Above: The current SM Expert, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Materials: leather
Weight: 4 lb 14 oz, size 9 1/2
Price Paid: $190

I am returning mine because the toe box is just narrow enough to make it uncomfortable. I may try a full size larger than my street, but that may prove too big. Have not taken them out, but they sure feel warm, and the sole is very stiff: I can easily stay on a 1/2" edge.

They are 4 lb 14 oz--heavier than any non-insulated boots but lighter than plastics. The reason why some would not recommend them for above 5000m or extreme colds is that (a) they are not waterproof and (b) you can't take the liners off and put them in your sleeping bag to prevent their freezing. They say you can mitigate (a) with supergaiters or overboots and (b) with vapor-barrier liners.
