Amazon.com Product Description
This rugged boot from Sorel is an ideal winter weather boot for those who tend to find themselves in extreme conditions. Constructed from waterproof nubuck and suede leather, the boot is seam sealed to keep feet warm and dry. The built-in gaiter/bootie has an easy barrel lock closure for walking in deep snow and an Achilles adjustment strap, which can be tightened to further provide ankle support for uneven terrain. The removable EVA comfort footbed reduces weight and adds thermal protection for long days in the cold, and the Thinsulate insulation has a rating down to a very chilly minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Comment: These boots are exremely comfortable, extremely protective, warm and stylish. It is only an ashame from the boot weaaring standpoint, that I only had to wear them once. I appear to be extremely good quality made boots as well.

Summary: Conquest NOT a rugged boot. 2010-02-24
Comment: I purchased these about three years ago and walk in them mostly.They have split at the seam between the leather and the rubber.They were sized properly,but the design is poor,and if you flex them much,the seams come apart. Too bad,because they were a nice boot for 1 year.The second year,they started to split and this year they are not useable and have been replaced.I was hoping they might have redesigned them,but it appears they are the same construction.I will choose a different design of waterproof boot.If you are active in your boots,look for a different model.

Summary: Great Boots 2010-02-07
Comment: These are great boots. Very stout and supportive. Very well made. They take longer to lace into, but you get a bomber boot for snowy conditions. Softer rubber sole and aggressive tread make them grippier than other boots I've worn. I've snowshoed in them, tromped through snow and ice, and shoveled roofs, all with ease. Four stars vs five because though true to size, I think they are slightly narrower than a normal medium, and because I get slight slippage in the heel. After a short while they warm up and the boot interior seems to widen and better accommodate the foot. Probably some insulation compression and molding around the foot. The achilles strap definitely helps lock the foot in, but my conjecture is that it may have been added to make up for an inherent design flaw that doesn't fully lock in the foot with laces alone. All that said, when I put on these boots, I am confident I will have a good experience --- warm, dry, protected, and supported feet in harsh conditions, and that was the point of the purchase. No regrets, very satisfied.

Summary: Great all-around boots 2010-02-06
Comment: I use these boots for snowmobiling, hiking and daily wear. They keep my feet warm and moisture out. They were a little rigid and uncomfortable around the ankles for the first week or so. After breaking them in, they fit great.
