My first pair I got when I was 14 years old and after 37 years, had to let them go finally because the tread was gone. pulled the trigger after I had none for 6 years and best purchase because they still live up to my first pair. Bought size 6 1/2 as I have a high instep and wear a 7 normally in shoes. Just change out the liner every three years and the boot will last another 37 years. Better traction on this boot. Large toe box too. Regular socks are enough.
I had Sorel boots for over 10 yrs. & wanted the same quality. I wasn't disappointed. My last ones zipped, so I was concerned about the ties. They're elastic ties, so no tying necessary! They expand to let your foot in. I've been walking through snow in all temperatures here in MN & after a month, they still look like new. Keep my feet very warm, even when I ice skate & leave them out in the cold (no warming house with the pandemic). Very pleased with the quality & fit.
I purchased this pair of boots this past fall based on my experience with Sorel boots that I had previously purchased that lasted me a good ten years. These felt great from day one and kept my feet toasty warm in spite of some intense cold and snowy slopes.
