Comments about Garmont Momentum Snow GTX Winter Boots - Men's:

picked up these boots a few weeks ago before a really cold snap hit New England. I was going to be out on snow, standing still for a few hours during an on-snow product demonstration and was concerned about warmth. After reading a few other reviews decide these were the winners. They are REALLY REALLY WARM. Gret boot, great traction. One reviewer did mention the wimpy laces, although I haven't had an issue I can see what they meant. The supplied laces are a bit scrawny. I do have back ups ready. The boot is a bit large, but I did intend and wear the boots with a heavier sock. If you are going to spend a lot of time in the snow and ice I do recomment this boot.

Comments about Garmont Momentum Snow GTX Winter Boots - Men's:

My hands and feet tend to get hot when I hike and my previous winter boots (rubber) left me with soaked feet at the end of the day (or after a couple of hours!), plus they felt kind of heavy. So, I decided that it was time for an upgrade. I choose these because they were lighweight and very breathable, and I wasn't disappointed. My first test was a rigorous, fast hike to the Keyhole (12 mi rt) with temps in the teens. My feet never felt cold (which for me is never a problem), but most importantly, they never got soaked! The fit was like a glove too; I didn't get any blisters or hot spots, even though we were alternating between rock and snow and doing some Class 2+ terrain near the Keyhole. And did I say fast hike? After transitioning from my heavy, rubber winter boots to the Garmont Momentum, I felt like I had wings. They are light! Out with the old, in with the new.

Solid boot, but tough to break in

Comments about Garmont Momentum Snow GTX Winter Boots - Men's:

Breaking them in was not as easy as I anticipated. I had read several reviews stating these were ready to go out of the box, but I can only attest that this is partially true. From the ankle down, yes, these are great. Where the top of the boot meets my calf muscle, these are terrible. I wore them the first time for roughly 3 hours and developed some really sore, chafed spots. The second time I wore them for about 90 min, and although a little better, they were still uncomfortable. I'm hoping the 3rd time they'll be good to go. In other areas:

Laces = flimsy, recommend new ones
Waterproof = excellent
Warmth = excellent for my usage (maybe 0 degrees, max)

Overall I'm still a fan of these boots and feel they will be comfortable once fully broken-in.

Comments about Garmont Momentum Snow GTX Winter Boots - Men's:

These boots provided great traction and they were very warm. They were great snow boots that did not look like normal bulky snow boots. They resemble a hiking boot more than a traditional snow boot. They had excellent traction on snowy and muddy winter trails.
My only problem with these boots was that they were slightly to narrow in the forefoot area. I really wanted to keep them, but they squeezed my foot enough that it caused pain after wearing them for more than 15 minutes.
They are waterproof, warm, and stylish for a snow boot, but not the right size for me.

Comments about Garmont Momentum Snow GTX Winter Boots - Men's:

Second time ever wearing them I ran a 5k obstacle course in about 11 inches of snow with some ice. I got a very minor hotspot just because I have a bunion. No other hotspots or blistering at all.

My feet were warm and dry even without gaiters. I had to wade and crawl through powdery snow and none got inside the boots. I did not ever slip on any ice. These things are lugged very well. I wore midweight "intelligent-wool" socks.

The boots are a bit stiff but they are lightweight. The "cons" about the laces is minor.

These are NOT suitable for daily commute and wearing in the office. They are meant for sports.

My narrow heel did move around slightly but proper lacing prevented this from being an issue.

Standing around in 1 degree F weather I was not really cold. Once I started moving I was NOT AT ALL cold. Dunno why some people got cold in these things, but I was in 12 inches of snow continuously for an hour, starting at 1F and ending at 7F. I stayed very toasty and dry.

I could drive a small car with three pedals without any problem, as long as they are laced properly. If you're going to treat them like slippers, don't expect to be able to keep your feet on the pedals.

The price was right on these boots. They look good too.

Comments about Garmont Momentum Snow GTX Winter Boots - Men's:

Just not a warm winter weather boot, period. I needed a solid pair of boots as I live in the lake effect region of the U.S., one that is warm and waterproof, these are neither. Toes get icy after a short walk through snow, cannot hold up to heavy snow, speed laces get snagged on briars etc. I gave these boots a fighting chance and put them through the rigors of heavy outdoor activity, and they failed miserably.

Comments about Garmont Momentum Snow GTX Winter Boots - Men's:

These boots are extremely comfortable and lightweight, but they just aren't that warm. I can actually run on trails in these boots and move around very quickly at work, but my feet get cold quite fast if I'm not moving around. They really aren't much warmer than a non-insulated boot.

Comments about Garmont Momentum Snow GTX Winter Boots - Men's:

First off, you will see this in some reviews. The top of the boots really dig in to your calves/ankles at first. I was ready to return them, but after about four outings, this has gone away. Traction is great, they look good, are warm and wateproof. So far I am happy with them, but am watching the ankle issue. Also, I think Garmont has discontinued them.

Comments about Garmont Momentum Snow GTX Winter Boots - Men's:

Bought these to use winter mountain biking in Minnesota and to my surprise they have been warm enough as a general snow boot for regular use. Have used these while biking in 10 degree temps with a pair of smartwool socks and flat pedals and my feet were of no concern.
