Sorel Bota Bag Boot - Men's - 2007 BCS

Runs a size smaller than my much older and different style Sorel boots.
Does not slip-on as easily as I hoped.
Great quality!

I wanted a comfy and cute looking (I realize this sounds suspect, but I assure you I am very masculine) winter shoe to wear before and after skiing, and the bota bag is exactly what the doctor ordered. As an all around shoe, I'd give the bota bag no more than 3 stars; however, the shoe stays true to exactly how it's advertised...comfy shoe for around the house and outside in the snow to grab the mail or take out trash. It is very comfortable (cushy, hugs the sides and bottom of your feet as if you were stepping on the snuggle bear), and getting in and out of the shoe requires no hand assistance. This isn't however something that you can walk a long distance in nor something that'll facilitate any sort of "athletic" move. It is very true to size; however, it is high in volume vertically (or perhaps it's the front slit that's tricking me into thinking it is), which causes your heel to slip up and down quite a bit. Finally, the Delta version doesn't look as dark as you see in the picture...and I've seen some pics of it on other sites that seemed too light. In reality, it's somewhere in between.

So, I wanted something as warm as the traditional Sorrels, not as high cut as a mukluk, and without that industrial Canadian timber harvester look. I just got finished wearing these boots for 4 days in the sub-freezing, snowing, raining, red dirt hell that is the Southern Utah desert in winter - and my feet were as warm as if they were cradled in my girlfriend's cleavage. I loved the softer sole, as it didn't collect the mud in the treads that the regular meat-grinder pacs do. It was a delight not to have to drag twelve pounds of sticky red mud with each step, stop every five minutes to clean out the tread with a stick, and generally swear much more than usual.
I would recommend these to anyone looking for a non-traditional hipster winter casual boot that didn't need to occasionally strap on a crampon, wade through hip deep pow, or kick a wounded badger.

My husband was very pleased with his Sorel Bota Bag Boots as Christmas gift from me, as the weather was unusually cold in AR this year. He loved their warmth and comfort, still had yet to test how waterproof they were. On New Years Day he went down to the dock to check on the boat, and slipped on a patch of ice and fell completely under water in the lake. His feet did NOT stay dry, in fact it is a wonder he could pull himself back up with so much water in his boots. After walking to the house he still had a gallon of water in each boot. The water does not leak out! They really are waterproof!!! haha. Do not try this at home. And once they dried out, they still looked brand new.

I was looking for a boot that was fashionable, functional, and easy to put on/take off. This is it! I'm very pleased with my purchase. They're tall enough to keep the snow out and my pants fit great over top of them. My only complaint is that the boot is almost to warm. I've found that for all day wear I need to wear a thin sock to stay comfortable.

These are certainly comfortable and likely warm, but the large opening just created too much risk of snow intrusion for my comfort. Had to return for something that closes around my ankle. Wearing these in snow more than 2 inches deep, you would end up with snow inside. If you don't need to wear in snow, then I'm sure they are great. Then again why wear boots?

Great Boots!! Love these boots. They are so light and comfortable. Easy to get on and off. They keep your feet nice and cozy even without socks which I go without occasionally, usually when I go out to get the mail.

I recommend these boots to everyone. You cannot go wrong with them. They will be your favorite pair of boots once you try them on.

Finally a boot that fufilled my wishes....easy on & off without bending--good looking--warm and they stay dry.....and as far as comfort goes ....they are "off the charts"....this is "Da Boot".....Thanks Sorel !!!!

Bought these for my son who is studying at Ithaca college, ie c-o-l-d winters. He loves that they are comfy slipper style, while being super warm and high enough to protect from snow. I like the durable quality. Besides, the company originated in Sorel, Que. just outside of my hometown of Montreal. We Canadians know warm boots when we see them!

these boot do exactly what they're supposed to, in great comfort. Whether apres ski, snowblowing or running errands, comfortable, warm, dry and worth every penny!

Love the boots - so comfortable - I use them as slippers (very warm) as I always have very cold feet. Easy off and on. They run pretty small so you will need 1/2 size bigger than usual.

One of the most comfortable boots I have worn and they are really warm even without socks. I wear them in below zero temps clearing snow and my feet have never got cold. Only bad thing is I haven't been able to find replacement foot beds for them.

I bought these boots to wear before and after skiing. If the snow every starts falling I think this boots will be great. Very comfortable and warm . . . remind me of my house slippers.

These boots have been awesome so far, but 1 design feature has prompted me to provide only 3 stars.

Overall they are warm, comfortable and look good. Great for around town, after skiing and general warmth. They seemed true to size for me.

The bad: if you ride your bike in the winter, the slit down the front of the shoe lets a nasty draft in. This freezes the ankle and can cause the whole foot to feel cold. I have liked these boots enough otherwise that I'm taking them to someone this week to have some windstopper fleece (or similar) sewn into the "gap" area. This may also prove to be an issue if you are walking through any snow over ankle high.

After my modification, i'll give a revised rating of 5-stars to myself :)

I have not taken these boots off since I recieved them 2 weeks ago......awesome....buy a pair they r worth every penny...

Great alternative to wearing street shoes/winter boots. Not bulky but wicked comfortable! Wear them all winter. Back Country is the best place to pick up these kicks!

These toasty little buggers have become my shoveling boots, pre and apres ski boots. Extremely easy to slip on/off. The Bota Bags are high in volume, normally I wear a 10.5. I probably could have sized down to a 10 but I don't mind the extra room.
