When the hardpacked snow gleams too slippery for regular shoes, slip Kahtoola's Snow Travel FLIGHTboots over your trail runners. As you hike or run, stainless steel cleats at the FLIGHTboot's forefoot, mid-foot, and heel bite into the hardpack and add traction to every step. Highly water-resistant neoprene uppers keep your feet dry, and Hypalon linings insulate them. Slip your shoe into the FLIGHTboot, zip up the back, ratchet down the front buckle, and get going. The Snow Travel Boots easily clip into Kahtoola's FLIGHTdeck snowshoe system (not included) when you reach untracked snow and need the extra flotation. You can wear hiking shoes with the FLIGHTboot, but light running shoes work best.

Customer Rating: Summary: No more cold feet Comment: I have used these boots for running and snowshoeing.
2.5 hrs is the most I have spent at one time in the boot. The weather has ranged between -4 and 36 Fahrenheit.
In cold weather my feet remained warm, but not too warm. In the wet snow my feet were warm and remained dry. The boots are very comfortable, I do recommend a low profile shoe, such as a trail runner.
The only con is the drying time of the material. However, if you store them in a dry room or near a warm vent, they can dry overnight.
I also own the FlightDeck snow shoe, they are incredible together.
I would love to see a way for these to snap into a bike pedal. I mountain bike year around and these boots would be perfect to keep my feet warm. When you have to get off the bike for major hills, they have great grips for climbing.
