Wear the Sorel Women's 1964 Pac Boot when the snow finally begins to melt and it's slush-ville all the way to the market. The seam sealed, water proof PU coated leather works as a great puddle pounder when you wade through the streets and alleys. Your feet stay snuggly as you pick through wines and cheeses at the stands with the Pac's recycled felt inner boot and acrylic wool blend snow cuff. Keep a sturdy footing when you have a hand full of bags on the way home with the handcrafted waterproof vulcanized rubber shell and herringbone outsole.
Bottom Line: When you have a day packed with shopping in the snow wear the 1964 Pan Boot.
I bought these boots this winter and they were just what i needed. They are high enough to keep the snow out, warm and even cute for a heavy duty snow boot!
I recently bought these boots and put them to the test in Alaska, from Barrow to Homer. They broke-in nicely and kept my feet warm and dry from walking through snow to walking along the Chukchi Sea coast. They fit true to size, my size 8.5 female foot fits nicely in the size 9. The "Stout" color is dark brown with lavender purple accents & laces. You can tell these are women's boots, but they are not too feminine. I would recommend these boots!
Could anybody tell me what's the lowest temperature these boots are rated too? Also, would these be any good for snowshoeing?
Thanks,
Also, I'm tossing between the caribou and the 1964 Pac, and the only difference I can see between the two (apart from "looks") is that the caribou sole has a different grip/tread. Is that the only difference? Having said that, would the 1964 Pac sole/tread still be suitable for "off-road" walks/gentle hikes (nothing too hard core but not paved street). Or would I have to defer to the caribou? (The Pac is just so much cuter, thus I'd probably wear it more...)
Ahhh, I've noticed another possible difference. Although both have a removable 9mm innerfelt boot, the caribou's is described as Thermoplus felt, while the Pac's is described as recycled felt. But they are both rated to -40C/F so what's the deal there... Different wording? Or is the caribou's insulation better?
Finally, is the stated weight of 650g for one boot (as I assume) or the pair?
Adela- The Caribu's weight about 5 ounces more than the Pac's. The Caribu also has a deeper tread on its sole, making it slightly better for off-road hikes. The Pac's don't grip as well in icy areas either. Here is the difference between the two liners:
"ThermoPlus® InnerBoots: Pioneered by Sorel in 1993 after extensive field testing. ThermoPlus® InnerBoots provide superb warmth, moisture transfer, comfort, and durability. An advanced four-layer construction wicks perspiration from the foot, maximizes thermal insulation, and reflects body heat back to the foot for a warm, dry foot "climate".
1. Soft, short loop polyester Minktex® (green inner layer) maximizes contact to quickly wick perspiration from the foot. 2. Black polypropylene core insulates and facilitates wicking process. 3. Radiantex® foil reflects body heat back to the foot. 4. Polyester/viscose blend (camel outerlayer) insulates and stores moisture away from the foot.
Washable/Recycled InnerBoots: Pre-consumer recycled polyester. Ideal for children's boots where InnerBoots are exposed to excessive dirt and perspiration. A unique two-layer construction wicks moisture from feet and provides excellent insulation."
They are rated to -40°F/C. They are super comfortable and waterproof, but they are heavy to a lot of people, so while you can definitely use them for snowshoeing, you may get worked much quicker than you'd like.
I bought these boots a few months ago. And to be honest, I don't know how I got along without them. I hail from SW Lower Michigan and around here it starts to get cold and rainy around Oct. and Snow and cold from Nov. to late March, early April, then rainy season till mid May. And these boots do a wonderful job keeping my feet warm and dry. Shipping of these boots was quicker than expected as well. Great Company, Great Product.
I recently bought these boots and put them to the test in Alaska, from Barrow to Homer. When I first got them I was concerned that they were a bit stiff around the ankle area, but they broke in nicely. They kept my feet warm and dry from walking through snow to walking along the Chukchi Sea coast. A really great boot. My size 8.5 female foot fits nicely in the size 9. Thus, if you are a 1/2 size, definitely order the next size up. The "Stout" color is dark brown with some lavender purple accents & laces. You can tell these are women's boots, but they are not overly 'pretty.'
I have owned and loved a pair of white Sorels since two days after I moved to Canada in 1982, They're still going strong, but they're dirty grey, and have black streaks in places. I've tried scrubbing them with hot water and soap to no avail. Any thoughts on how to get them clean again?
I love these boots! I wanted a "welly" style boot I could use for rain, because every rain boot I ever owned leaked. I used these recently in Buffalo, NY. Very warm - my feet were hot when I was indoors. Comfortable, a bit clunky but easy enough to walk in. I'm very pleased! Wish they offered 1/2 sizes, but whole sizes do fine with sport socks. I bought the herringbone pattern - feminine without being too girly, and I received a few compliments.
I have a pair of these boots which I bought ten years ago (in white), and they are still totally dependable in deep snow and cold temperatures. My sorels were made in Canada. Not sure if they are still made there or not, but I did buy these when I lived in Minnesota, and they kept my feet very warm and toasty while ice fishing. I'm thinking of buying another pair as my feet grew after having a baby, and they are now tight. After ten years, the only complaint i have about my white sorels is that the whiteness is now a little yellowish against clean white snow. Other than that. Love em. still dry, warm and in good shape.
These boots are rather stiff and heavy. The bottom of my feet tend to get cold but there are very waterproof which is a major plus....all and all...nice boots but if you got a pair of Moon boots I would opt for the Moon boots!
These boots are very warm, water resistant, stiff, and fit those of us with feet too wide to get into other boots. However, the fuzz at the top really seems to rub my shin raw. Even if I wore longer socks, I had some issues with it. Leggings are the way to go for me. But they are a good boot, and I am happy with the purchase.
I was kind of nervous at first for paying so much for a snow boot, but seriously this is the best investment I have ever made. They really are the softest and most comfortable shoe. whatever padding they have at the bottom always feels like you are walking on pillows. I have a bad back and it does not stress it out. Besides that they keep my feet warm, dry and really do protect against the cold. They are true to size. Overall I would buy this shoe again. I am considering a back up...two bad they don't sell them in brown or they would be perfect!
No they are made in china and others in Vietnam. My wife has these boots and she loves them. Even if they are made in China they are still quality Sorels and the bomb!
Overall, I'm very pleased with these boots. They have thankfully kept my feet nice and warm in chilly Northern Indiana temps, and they are quite comfortable despite being a bit on the heavy side (and this is coming from a Birkenstock wearer!). My one complaint is that they have minimal traction in icy conditions. But all in all I would recommend these boots to others.
Write your question here...I bought a pair of Sorel boots in 1998. I still have them and still wear them. They are the best boots I have ever worn. The stitching is starting to fray a little. The boots are knee height, you pulled them on, and had the choice of tightening them from the top. I haven't seen these boots anywhere. I had bought them from Sears. I would love to purchase another pair before my boots give out. Do you know if this type of boot is made anymore. I just love them. 10 years they have lasted, maybe more.
I usually have trouble buying shoes (especially boots) because of a high instep so I was hesitant to order online but after seeing what people had to say about them being "true to size", I figured just to go for it. Am I ever glad I did! These are the warmest, driest winter boots I've ever had! It took a couple wears to break them in (the houndstooth boot is rather stiff at first) but I'm totally happy with my purchase, and I've been recommending Sorel boots to anyone I know who is looking to purchase great quality winter boots.
I am having the same problem I seen them @ IBC in Malone NY but when I went back to get them they were all gone if you find them would you please email and I will do the same
The boots are exactly right for a college girl who has to endure Minnesota winters. Like the chunky style, and loooove the black and white houndstooth. (The only complaint is that the pattern should not be called herringbone.. because it is HOUNDSTOOTH!) Other than that.. sigh. Sweet boots!
Yes, dry (even in slush) and warm (even in -40) And with warm feet my heart sings!!!! SO it's easier to look cool and fun with the herringbone pattern. At first they felt like snowboard boots but break in well. love them KWL
