Women’s Winter Boots
By Rick Zimmerman
For years I hated shopping for women’s winter boots.
It didn’t matter if the boots were tall or short, they never kept my feet warm. Snow would get inside the boots and melt, and my feet would get cold and wet. Imagine walking around with wet, frozen toes. Your feet never warm up and they start to hurt. It gets painful to walk. That’s a nasty feeling!
So my quest for women’s winter boots began. I tried the department stores. They had cute boots at extravagant prices but when I bought them and took them home, same old cold, wet feet!
I tried the sporting goods stores and found boots that were practical but felt like I was carrying bowling balls on my feet.
Why is it so hard to find footwear that’s good-looking but really keep my feet warm and dry?
Finally I came across Sorel women’s winter boots. The Snow Lion style works perfect for me, they’re tall with a drawstring at the top, have rubber bottoms and a warm, thick liner that keeps my feet warm and dry. Heaven!
I’ve tried these women’s snow boots in a variety of settings: sledding downhill for the afternoon, deer hunting, trudging through snowdrifts feeding horses and cattle. These Sorel boots are worth the expense!
I remember one time having to track down some cows that got out. (Hunters firing at deer nearby spooked them and they went right through the fence.) I had to track them through snow drifts and snow-laden swamp. The swamps were covered with two feet of snow, which is enough snow to insulate the ice and keep it from getting hard and strong. When I’d put my weight on it, down I’d go, into that icy water! I trudged up and down hills and valleys. It took me hours to find the cattle, but those women’s snow boots paid for themselves that day. I finally got the cows home with my feet warm and dry. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate Sorel!
These are now the second pair of Sorel women’s winter boots that I’ve owned. I wore the first pair out! They were still excellent at keeping my feet warm and dry but I found the tread on the bottom of the boots was wearing away, and in wintertime, you want traction.
I will come back to Sorel for their women’s snow boots time and again, they are worth every penny!
