lightweight winter shoes

Here's the footwear system I use down to around 15-20F, but it would probably work at lower temperatures if I keep moving.

Rab Hispar eVent gaiters
Inov8 Roclite 295 trail runners (approximately 12 oz each shoe)
Rocky Gore-Tex socks (1.5-2 sizes larger than my general shoe size, as these run tight)
medium to heavy wool sock (medium = Wigwam Light Hiker Merino, heavy = Wigwam Ice Sock)
Polypropylene liner socks

I also use Certain-Dri roll-on antiperspirant on the bottoms of my feet for 5 days before a trip, and during the trip. Gore-Tex is breathable, but it still needs some help.

He try to find the Salomon Toundra. They are made with aerogel and warum up to -40°F

Here’s a great article by Dave Chenault detailing principles of backcountry footwear systems for winter.

Backcountry Footwear for the other three seasons

and another from BPL (might need membership to read this 3 part series, but this is one of those articles that might justify the cost alone)

Footwear for snow travel

Some wear waterproof trail runners or wear goretex/neoprene socks (or bread bags) with non waterproof shoes. You can also wear NEOS Overshoes over your non waterproof shoes.

Ike — thanks for the link. (Getting out into the new snow today?)

Just got back (NCT through Tahquamenon Falls). The winter was a long time coming, but I think it's finally here.
