Saltic Vintero

Vinterot are my number one shoes from late autumn to spring, when Furilla is no longer a good choice. I wear these mainly to work as well as for walks and runs, in the city and in the forest, they work for everything! Even though I get quite cold toes, these still make it great for moving around in even the coldest weather.

Comfortable and light, pleasant shoe. The feel is slipper-like and soft, and at the same time warm and protective. The leather feels high-quality and softens and shapes nicely with use. The last is excellent for wide feet from the toe and ball, and there is also plenty of room for a higher instep. Thanks to its design, the shoe is both comfortable to wear and easy to adjust to fit the foot well. The sole compound is a bit stiff at first, but it seems to soften a bit with use. The grip of the sole in icy weather is commendable. I own two pairs of these: normal size, and other larger ones with wool socks. In milder winters, it goes surprisingly far with medium-thick socks (and insoles); despite its lightness, the shoe is surprisingly warm, and also works excellently with mud. The insole that comes with it is good to use (and surprisingly warm too), also a plus is the high-quality laces, and of course the possibility of re-soling.

Good shoes for wet winters, your feet won't get wet and there's room in the toebox for even a slightly wider flip-flop. The sole wears out quickly in a snowless winter, but the available resoling service helps with this (as long as you own more than one pair of shoes: resoling from ordering to receiving the shoes back has taken a good couple of months). I now have 3 pairs of these in circulation. I deducted one star because the sole wears out quickly and because these aren't great for standing in the winter, but if you keep moving, your feet will stay warm. These aren't really defects either, but rather inevitable features of a thin-soled barefoot shoe.

Good grip on icy streets.

Nice looking light shoe. The size was appropriate (size 38 - foot measurement 23.5 cm). Although it doesn't go with thick socks, I was able to fit the felt insoles in these just fine even in freezing temperatures. It went well with the little ones. -10 with hankiekeli already started to feel like a too cold shoe. Water retention is there, even if I wouldn't go into puddles with these. Really good grip on the bottom, which was a joy on the icy yard.

The spacious last and the sole feel comfortable. I bought them as mid-season shoes for loskels, they fit perfectly as long as you remember to take care of the leather surface. I would give five stars if the rubber compound on the sole was softer and more flexible.

Lovely shoes, but unfortunately a bit stiff and it was not pleasant to wear with wool socks. Now getting some others for the winter. A great "boxing boot" look.

Comfortable and warm shoes for the interim period. No experience in winter weather yet. The shoes are soft and comfortable. At least based on a few weeks of use, they seem to be of high quality. They could be a little more spacious at the head so they would be perfect.

The whole last winter went with these shoes. Well kept the bottoms despite the icy slipperyness of the spring.

Very good for year-round use, comfortable even in hot summer weather. Also very functional for hiking: no sweat or chafing; great feel and grip of the sole, especially on mountain trails and difficult rocky terrain. The only downside: if they get wet and don't dry properly right away, the musty smell won't go away.
