Winter hiking boots

Warm and Waterproof Mountain and Trekking Boots

To keep your feet protected from the elements and allow you to walk in the utmost comfort, the boots we offer in our winter model selection are warm and waterproof. Featuring modern and high-performance materials, these boots guarantee your feet's protection in the toughest conditions. Walk through snow and cold confidently with these models. Manufacturers use various materials to keep your feet sheltered from the weather during your hikes in negative temperatures. You'll find membranes from Gore-Tex or other brands, as well as insulating materials such as Primaloft. All these technologies offer protection and comfort.

Men's and Women's Models for Walking in Snow

At Glisshop, we offer only high or mid winter hiking boots. A higher cuff ensures good support and protects your ankle from wind and cold but primarily prevents snow intrusion into the boot. Indeed, there is nothing more unpleasant than feeling snow melt along your foot. Paired with gaiters, these snow boots guarantee excellent protection even in powder.

Which Boots to Wear for Walking in Snow?

When walking in snow, you might hesitate between choosing warm hiking boots or après-ski boots. Here are the elements to consider to make the right decision.

Simply put, a warm hiking boot is a technical hiking boot equipped with specific materials that improve the insulation and foot comfort in cold weather. You will find Vibram soles specifically designed to prevent cold from being felt from under the boots. These warm hiking boots are also equipped with a high cuff to keep the ankle warm. Most models boast a Gore Tex membrane for an impeccable wind-proof effect, good breathability, and they are lined with a thin but effective insulation like Primaloft.

As for snow boots, they provide less foot support. After-ski boots are primarily made to regain comfort after a day of skiing on the slopes. Thus, the emphasis is primarily on the comfort and warmth rather than on long-distance walking and breathability.

Warm hiking boots are hiking boots in their own right. You can not only tackle any GR in France but also use them for snowshoeing. Their high ankle and waterproofness ensure impeccable foot comfort, even when spending a whole day walking in the snow.
