If you climb up Mount Everest, you can get free snow boots. Might have to strip a few different corpsicles until you find your size, though.

The term snow boots sound like they are for kids or women to me.

I have had it with Sorel's cracking after 2-3 years. My old ones would last way longer.
I do have to add that I'm on year two of Columbia Bugaboot III's and as skeptical as I was when I bought them, they have held up amazingly well. And I use them for work on farms in the winter too. |

I wear bogs in all but the coldest weather. They work well for me but if it gets colder than -20 I'll switch up to bunny boots.

Klim goa gtx. Big enough I can strap them on my snowboard because snowboard boots are terrible to walk around it. Mainly for snowmobiling.

I called Sorel today and after 2 hours, managed to speak with Warranty and they asked for images of the boots. I sent images of the soles, label and the cracks of both boots. I was told they had a batch from Indonesia that had problems and I must be one of the "lucky" people to have bought lemon boots.

Those Hoffman with the higher calf looks great. Sorels allow snow to get in when I walk (no gaiters) in deep snow (anything over the height of the boot) and soon I get moist socks when the snow melts.

After a two hour wait, finally got hold of Sorel warranty. I was honest and told them they were ten years old and they told me it was out of warranty. I then asked if they were aware than when they outsourced production to Indonesia that faulty rubber was used and thus both the left and right boot cracked. They asked for pictures of the soles, the cracks and the label inside the boot. So, I went through the trouble of photographing as they asked and sent the images in.
Their email response on Friday was: Thank you for reaching out to the SOREL Warranty Department. All of our footwear comes with a One-Year Limited Warranty. Unfortunately, your boots were manufactured outside of the one-year warranty period. The evaluation team made the determination based upon the manufacturing date located within the item. The evaluation team suggests contacting your local shoe repair. Thank you again for choosing SOREL. We look forward to working with you on all of your future warranty needs. Best Regards, That was a rather convoluted way of thanks for calling us, ESAD. My lesson: Friends don't let friends buy Sorels. |

I'm currently using my military issued desert tan, steel toe, insulated boots. I'd like to ditch them so I can free myself of the steel toe when doing winter outdoors stuff. For working they're great, and very warm.

After about 15 years the rubber on my Schnees cracked. Packed them up and sent them to their main facility in Bozeman about a month later they were back with all new rubber. Good as new. I don't recall what they charged me, about $100.

The company that made Sorel boots went bankrupt in 2000. Guess who bought the brand name? |

I had the same problem with my last pair of Sorel's - I won't make that mistake again. I now have a pair of LL Bean Snow boots and they've been great so far, but I've only had them a few years.

Quote HistoryQuoted: @villemur - what year purchased and were they made in Indonesia like mine? I won't be buying Sorels ever again either. Similar story to yours. I actually had a pair of Sorel's that I'd gotten when I was 18 that I wore the tread off of after many years. They were still in great shape overall. But I needed better traction, so about ten years ago I got the new Sorel's (I believe they were made in Indonesia). Within five years they were badly cracked. I tried calling Sorel, but they told me to get lost. Sorel's are now a garbage boot, trading on the old Sorel name. |
