Baffin Chloe Winter Boot - Women's
May 14, 2009
How flexible is the leather upper part of the boot? Does it feel very stiff on first try? Does it need much "breaking-in?' What about the soles: are they completely hard, or is there a bit of shock absorbency? Thanks.

Sorel 1964 Pac Boot - Women's
May 14, 2009
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?
