But beware that not a lot of lateral stability in the sole of his boot. Namely, the bottom rubber tend to turn sideways makes them, in my opinion, unsuitable for anything else in common use around and possibly some work situations. The twisting motion makes traveling off beaten paths, especially uphill or side hilling, more difficult and tiring. My seven years old (Canadian made) Sorel Caribou models are a little 'thicker and probably more water-resistant leather uppers, but the current (in Chinese) Sorels seem to have more advanced combination synthetic and wool felt insulation and apparently much-needed additional underfoot.
These boots have a fresh look with the faux sheepskin collar, but their relatively modest height means you will need to wear gaiters to keep out snow if you leave the beaten track. Felt lined pacs are typically the warmest boots for the Bucks and the covers can be taken to dry. I washed my Sorel shirts on gentle cycle with wool soap to use with excellent results and the laying of some Armorall (used to perk up rubber and plastic in cars) on the bottom rubber keeps them looking great as well.
Recommended for those who want a warm, foolproof, traditional boot, trying to bring in around-town or cold weather outdoors, keep in the car for emergencies and possibly wear to work or go to the snow machines in really cold weather .
