I live in chicago, and every year I managed to unconvince myself from buying a pair of heavy winter boots. luckily for me, this is the year I decided to bite the bullet and put down for a pair. A month later, chicago was blanketed in the blizz-aldo rivera 2011. but the boots held up fantastically. they kept warm and dry trudging through the walls of snow. One thing i''d have to point out though is i initially found the boots to be a little tight fitting.After a few weeks in, the boots broke in and although snug, feel like a good fit.I would definitely buy the same pair again.
I have 2 pairs of Sorel snow boots; this one and a pair of Caribou II. The Caribou II was the first pair I bought when I moved back to a snowy climate after 18 years, and then I bought this pair of 1964s for more of a work boot. While I would buy a pair of Caribou II again, I don''t think I''d buy another pair of these. I do a lot of work outside in the snow, such as shoveling, blowing, plowing, raking roofs and tree work.
The liner of the Caribou II is much more comfortable while the 1964''s is a very plain, compressed felt. I''m not really a fan of the 4 D-rings on the Caribou II because it''s hard to keep the lower laces tight while pulling it tight at the top, but pulling laces tight through the 8 eyelets of the 1964 is even harder, especially if you''re already suited up in snow pants. The tread on the bottom of the 1964 is also very basic and doesn''t provide much traction at all.
Size-wise I think these boots are sized just a little bit big. I usually wear 14W sneakers or 15M king toe work boots, but both of my snow boots are 14M and fit about right. The Caribou II is insulated a little better so I get by with only a pair of my regular boot socks, but the 1964 is a little thinner and so I wear a heavier wool sock which means a little tighter fit than the Caribou II.
If price is your concern, then these boots will keep your feet out of the snow but they''re not really impressive. If you''re looking for boots that you''ll like to wear, I suggest you look at the Caribou II.

Ordered these boots last week and so far I''m very happy with them. Sizing, as mentioned in many reviews, is a bit on the large size. I''m normally a 10.5 and since they don''t offer half sizes I went with a 10. With thick socks its a perfect fit.
The construction is solid, and the style is classic. I was shopping for winter boots that didn''t look like they were made for a tactical special ops soldier. As fun as is it is to think that I''m a special ops soldier the fact is I''m simply a man who needed winter boots. Less is more.

I bought these shoes in september expecting warmth above all.I ama montreal resident and this fall the weather has been comparatively mild. Watching my dog playing in the park showed me that these boots are not very warm!! If you are walking it seems to be better as your blood circulates.
The treads on these boots are awful for walking on ''slippery'' ice. Your feet slide off to the sides, as when you are walking your dog on the sidewalk depression in front of a driveway.This is because the treads on the soles are all in one direction! Believe me, this is really hazardous[for a broken hip] and you should buy another model with different tread pattern if you really want sorels.
Even though I bought my size these boots are hard to put on due to the felt liner which is too tight at the base of the leather on top of the foot.

Great general purpose boot, warm, comfortable and last a long time.Traction is good and not a mud loader that will weigh 20 lbs at the end of the day.
If you want/need a comfortable pair of dressy sandals, this is an excellent option.I ordered these flip flops because they looked awesome online and I''ve never been disappointed by Yellow Box. When they arrived I was blown away!They are beautiful AND comfortable.I think they are too dressy for casual wear (jean capri and t-shirt), but add a dressier blouse and these little blingy gems and it''s right as rain!Love them. My daughter saw them (I went on a Yellow Box frenzy and ordered 6 different pairs :) ) and I could see the envy in her eyes, so am now ordering her a pair.Won''t she be surprised!!!
