Customer Reviews SOREL Glacier™ XT

I ordered this boot for heavy snow not to damage my other sorel boots conquest carly, riding boot's and tivoli. I usually wear sorel size 9 (I have a very wide foot) for my 4 other pairs, this one, although very comfy and roomy for extra sock was very large, I could not walk much because of the bulkyness, I sadly returned them, too warm for connecticut weather. I would recommend them for -30 celsius if you have to stand still in the snow, or shovel,they are very comfy but to walk, my size 9 was as long and wide than my husband's size 12 shoes..I will try the snow lion next year...

So I bought these boots to combat the blizzards of Boston which brought 100 inches of snow in three weeks. The boots are indeed waterproof and very very warm. I can testify that if you put them on and step into a puddle of snow slush, you will not notice any change in warmth or dryness. BUT if you try to actually walk anywhere in them past your house, you are in for a serious disappointment. They weigh double what the rest of my winter clothes weighs, put together. You will feel like you are lugging cement blocks on your feet after 20 feet. You will begin to sweat and curse and hate your life if you try to use these in any temperature above -10 F (its -8 F outside right now, and I'm sweating bullets after a 10 min walk in these). Second fail, the traction on these boots is NOT GOOD ON ICE. Even your basic ice with intermittent snow here and there, these boots simply don't have what it takes to navigate anything but actual snow. Third fail, the wool inside is very scratchy, which is made double worse because its stiffness makes any sock you are wearing scrunch down and expose your foot. So I need to buy special socks just to wear this shoe? Fourth fail, which initially I was going to ignore, but in light of the rest.. The string which holds the top part of the boot scrunched around your calf, snapped on the first day of me getting the boots. I wasn't pulling extra hard, just trying to bring it to close around my calf. Overall, if you are looking for a pair of boots to put on, walk three feet to shovel your house out, and then walk three feet back - these are fine. If you are looking for a pair of boots to actually wear - look else where.

Not happy with boot at all, it has Inserts that I can't get my caff to it. Very upset with it and now I'm suck with it and wasted my money on it too.....
