These GTX Salomons did me well. Had 2 pairs which I hiked from the Himalayas to Machu Picchu. The lifespan were about 5 years for both pairs. Where they first showed end of life was where the top of the boot met the footbed.
I would say yes depending on what you plan on doing with them! They're not 100% waterproof (no hiking boots are), so if you are in deep snow then snow boots are probably better. Bringing along a pair of crampons is always a good idea too if you're dealing with heavy snow on the hiking trail.
Ive had a pair for the last 5 years. Solid boots that will soon need to be replaced. I have heard that the quality of manufacture has decreased somewhat. Anyone else have info on that?
Returned them under warranty after a walk in the woods - no heavy hiking! - less then 15km on them; lost two of the outer lace-straps. Nice and comfortable yes, but not as durable as my trusty old M90 Army Bata's. Assume a factory defect - ordered a new pair.

That's where I have noticed a little bit of wear too. But I'm like you and they're 5 years old and I've taken them on hikes all over the world!
I was looking for a new pair of hiking shoes! This was helpful, thanks!!

Can they work in winter also

The ones I've had are two years old, so that might be the case. Would be interested to see if anyone else felt that way.
