So I finally went and ordered myself a pair of Forty Below Light Energy Shorty overboots for this winter. I am going to try them out with my Inov8 roc lite 318 GTX trail runners. Anyone have any experience with them? I know I posted about this last year but it's now a year later so maybe some new thoughts?
No experience with these overboots BUT ya gotta wonder just how slippery or grippy those soles non-lugged will be. Jus' sayin'…
Forgot to mention will be using with snowshoes..so..
I really like mine w/ snowshoes; though it has to be really cold before I use them- anything much above 5-10 F and I’m good just with thick wool socks and gtx trail runners 
Nice shot there Mike. Yeah..I'm hoping for cold cold. I was thinking below 20 they would be needed, but I guess I will see what happens with trial and error. Like everything else..I will figure out how to use them.
yeah- warmth definitely varies, so some experimentation is in order :) I should also mention they make for good over shoes around winter camp as well
Randy Nelson swears by these for winter use over trail runners. He wore them on a snowshoe hut trip we were on last winter, and was toasty when temps dipped down to 0F. I was wearing Salomon Mt Blanc's which are my warmest boots, and you can be sure I was envious of his comfort and low weight. Randy's in the Winds at the moment, but I know he'd vouch for them if he were online.
