Sorel Women's 1964 PAC Boot

I work in Chicago and live in the suburbs. Therefore I take the train and walk about a mile to work everyday. I needed something that was warm and kept my feet dry. These definitely do the trick.

The Pros:
rated for -25 degrees Farenheit
water proof
Actually cute looking boots, a lot of winter boots are more function than form.
The price is actually decent because I can see getting a few winters out of these. At the very least 2-3.
Very Durable.

The con (which isn't even a bad one):
Takes a few wears to break in and get used to. They are a little stiff at first, but not so stiff that you get blisters or they hurt your feet. They never hurt. It was just awkward walking in them the first 2-3 times while the waterproofed rubber broke in. I wear them every day and sometimes even forget to take them off.

They are pretty true to size, although it doesn't seem that way when I first put them on. I am a size 10 and...Read more

This Sorel boot is a gorgeous purple color, the waterproof leather is of fantastic quality, the inside lining makes this the warmest pair of boots that I have ever tried on (and the best part about the lining is that it's not at all bulky or heavy). The insole is so comfy, and like my other Sorel boots, I could stand in these all day without getting sore feet. For the function, size, and material of this boot--it is surprisingly lightweight (mid-weight). I got a size 8, and these fit true to size and width. This being said, I sadly had to return them because of the awkward height of the boot shaft. I am 5'5" tall, and my pant inseam is 30". The height of the boot stops right in the middle of my calf in a very awkward place: I cannot flex my ankle or walk in them without the top of the boot pushing uncomfortably into my calf. I tried lacing them lower so that the top of the boot was looser, but this did not help. And just as an experiment, I tried wearing them without any...Read more

I brought these boots in tusk/redwood about a month ago. I wear anywhere from an 8-10 in normal shoes. I bought a 9, and while they are a little large, an 8 would definitely have been too small. They really should offer half sizes, but it doesn't really matter if you get yourself some big socks.

I really do love these boots. I only have one real complaint. They have been a lifesaver in this epic snowstorm the northeast has been getting, so I can't say I'm upset about buying them.

Pros:
-cute
-extremely warm
-very waterproof
-big enough to tuck pants into
-looks good with almost anything
-fast shipping

Cons:
-big and bulky
-rather clunky due to their size
-where the boots bend most often, the decorative pattern tends to crack
-expensive
*-probably the worse con (as all others really don't count in practicality) is that they are extremely uncomfortable before they get broken in. As...Read more
