How to choose the right winter shoe?
There are many good options, but the key is finding a model that suits your activities and the weather conditions you’ll be in. For the coldest days, we recommend models with excellent insulation, such as Kikut or Silver Mid. All our models combine function and comfort, keeping your feet warm, dry, and supported all winter long.
SGL Technology™ – patented support
The core of Gaitline is the SGL insole technology. It was developed by Håvard Engell in Oslo, based on decades of expertise in biomechanics and injury prevention.
In short, the insole works as follows:
- • The heel is aligned properly, allowing the foot to take the correct initial position during each step.
- • The arch is targetedly supported via the arch roller, preventing the midfoot from collapsing.
- • Body weight is precisely balanced through the foot, so the forefoot doesn’t fall inward or outward.
The result is a progressive shoe, with even load distribution and less risk of misalignment and strain in the knees, hips, and lower back — especially important when walking and standing for long periods on hard, flat surfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
Kikut and Silver Mid are both lined with material with high insulation capacity to keep your feet comfortable and warm even in cold weather. If it’s very cold, we also recommend wearing wool socks to be well-prepared for a walk outside.
The outsoles on the winter shoes have anti-slip sections and soft rubber to provide good grip. However, it's still important to remember that slippery roads and demanding conditions require more than what a regular rubber sole can provide, even with anti-slip sections. For those days, we recommend studs.
Impregnate the shoes before first use, and repeat 3-4 times per season. This enhances the waterproof properties of the materials and makes the shoes easier to clean. Additionally, it extends the life of the shoes. Make sure to clean regularly, especially if you walk a lot on salted roads.
We recommend reading the size guide for each product you are interested in. If we recommend going up a size, you’ll find this information on the product page. Please contact customer service if you need further guidance.
Choose a slightly thicker sock, like merino wool or technical socks that breathe. Remember that cotton can get damp, which increases friction. Lace the shoes all the way up, preferably in the back hole, to reduce heel movement. Make sure to break in the shoes by starting with a short walk before gradually using them for longer periods.
