Product presentation Salomon Toundra

Always popular - hiking in the winter. We have for the mid Salomon Toundra times under the microscope. A winter boot for a temperature range of up to minus 40 ° Celsius is designed and has been honored in many test reports shall include the warmest winter shoes.

The sole:
The cold comes from the ground. A good winter shoe should have a relatively high and a sole structure have for snow and ice optimized profile. Of course the rigidity with increasing Sohlensträrke. This has normally made at the expense of the ride. Solomon has found the right balance. The mix - a perfectly matched combination of rubber about 3.6 cm thick sole can be found in the "medium hard" and is classified in the heel area very well damped.
The Salomon Toundra has a heel notch for attaching Grödeln. The successful rubber Reinforced heel and toe area does very well with the use of snowshoes. A rather plain-held insole adapts smoothly to the foot.

Lacing, skirt and fit:
The self-blocking of Schnürschlaufen Toundras prevent the sliding back of the lace satisfactory. Above the ankle of the shoe is closed by winter hooks. The anatomically shaped stem is processed waterproof - the fit is extremely good. The Toundra is all around, no pressure points on the foot. A sturdy loop on the back of the shank is used to donning the half-height winter boots. On the back of a safety reflector is attached. Especially in the winter time it gets dark very early, a useful additional feature that we find.

Our overall assessment for the Solomon Toundra Mid:
Even in this winter of 2011/2012 season looks very sortliche winter boots of his peers. In leisure and hiking in the winter than the Salomon Toundra lightweight and high subzero temperatures clearly ahead.

Five stars from us.
