I bought these boots on sale for $40. I wore them for two weeks walking in Eastern Europe in the winter. They were warm and comfortable. However, the lacing system is terrible for tightening your foot at the heel. There is no way to tighten the top of the shoe so you have a tight fit up front but loose in the back. So, the size you buy will need to be just right.
  The materials seem to be made of a cheap canvas. I am not sure how well it will last. The soles appear durable and had little wear after much walking. There are much better shoes out there for the same price. And Salomon needs to get rid of the terrible lacing system and have a normal one with laces, not thin strings, that goe to the top.
