2.0 out of 5 stars Too heavy duty for casual use, December 28, 2007

Bought these on line for the buckle fasteners as I thought they would be quicker and easier to put on and off than my existing lace ups.
Maybe they're good for serious expedition use but for nipping in and out they're worse than my lace ups - the structure of the boot is so heavy duty that they're a struggle to put on even with the buckles undone - and once buckled you can't tension the straps as there's very little 'give' in the boot to allow tightening.
Walking in them was a little like wearing ski boots - tried them for a week and reverted to my lace ups.
They are definitely warm though - although for general use around a ski resort they were too warm, my feet got pretty hot in them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Serious snow boots, December 28, 2007

This are great boots - if you want really warm, really robust. I use them for snowmobiling at below 10degrees and for running my unheated bobcat to plow snow. Before this, my feet always froze. Now they're toasty warm. After a few times, they became easy to get on and off. I put my orthodics in them and that made them a better fit and more comfortable. I think I could actually do a decent hike in them, but of course they dont fit like a hiking boot. btw.. you can pull the straps tighter after putting them on, but it takes the right "angle" and some arm power. I think thats why they dont offer the buckles in a womens boot.

This review is from: Sorel Men's Alpha Trac Buckle Boot (Apparel)

I noticed when I came on here to write this review that some people are trying to wear these just as a basic winter boot and that is simply not going to work, at least not very well. They are very stiff, almost like a cross between winter boots and ski boots. Yes they loosen up with time but even then they are not very comfortable to walk around in especially for long periods of time. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of boots out there that are far better designed for basic winter use. These boots are perfect for activities like snowmobiling.

These boots have a Molded EVA midsole for enhanced comfort, weight reduction and thermal protection. They have a removable 9mm Sorel ThermoPlus Xtreme InnerBoot. Thermoplus is a felt material which is extremely warm even in the coldest conditions. A built in gaitor with a barrel lock closure system keeps snow out and helps keep heat in. The boots have a fully seam sealed polar Lite shell which enhances flexibility. Some other details include a Shatter-resistant YKK Shokonloc buckle closure, Traction enhancing multi-directional rubber lug outsole, and Reflective safety graphics.

The bottom line is that this is not your average pair of winter boots and people who are looking for a casual pair of winter boots should really go elsewhere. Again there are literally hundreds of other boots that will work much much better if your just looking for a casual pair of boots. In other words if your looking for a pair of boots to go sledding in or a pair of boots to go to the mall in or a pair of boots to walk around town in then trust me, go elsewhere. If your looking for a serious pair of snowmobiling boots or if you work long hours outdoors during winter then you should definitely give these boots a look. They are built like a tank and keep your feet extremely warm.

5 Stars!!
