Customer Reviews SOREL Conquest™

This is my first pair of Sorels, and I love them! Right out of the box they were very comfortable, AND THEY ARE WARM. For a winter boot I would not consider another brand of boot. The sizing allows for extra thick socks to be worn, if desired. Sorry I didn't purchase Sorels before now!

I commute around Denver and the surrounding area by bicycle, bus, and train and needed a boot that not only provided warmth on frigid mornings but also kept my feet dry in the snow and was comfortable. The Conquest was the right boot for me because I spend a lot of time standing in the cold and snow at bus stops and train stations waiting for connecting routes. And it was a perfect fit on the peddles on my mountain bike. This is also a great boot to wear around town on a cold snowy day or to just go out and play in the snow. The fit is slightly big which allows for thicker socks on extremely cold days.

This is a very warm, comfortable boot for extreme cold snowshoeing or walking. I left the original foam insoles in and laid on top a thin flat Spenco (or equal) insole to take up a little volume. I found that the bottom half (D-ring section) of the lacing was hard to keep tight, so I pulled the lacing out of the top three holders, tied an overhand knot above the D-rings, crossed the two ends, then threaded the laces back up through the top three holders. Finally, at the end of each lace I tied an overhand knot to keep the laces from pulling out of the holders as I put the boots on or took them off. (Tightening the laces when putting the boots on is therefore a two-stage process.) The original laces are long enough for me to get plenty of slack with this lacing arrangement. And it holds the heel down better than using just the heel strap on the back.

I originally bought these boots for basic things like shoveling the driveway and walking around the ski resorts at night. After receiving them and playing around with the fit, I've decided to try them out while Elk hunting in the Colorado Rockies this november. Very pleased with the support and adjustability of this BIG winter boot.

Sooo great. Very comfortable and well constructed.

My Sorel boots are the best winter boot I have ever owned. I had a seam separate on them though, during a winter hike. I took the required pictures of the failed boot, sent them in to the customer service department, and within a week I had a brand new pair of boots. No questions or hang ups from Sorel. They stand behind their product. Thanks Sorel!!

My husband was delighted and pleased to receive the Conquest Sorels as a Valentines Day gift. I ordered them about five days before Feb 14 and they arrived in three days of my order. The boots fit a little bit on the lengthy side, but with thick ,woolen socks were a perfect fit. The boot is sturdy, good looking, with a rugged soles for ice and snow, which were tested out in Breckenridge, Colorado. I would definitely continue to purchase boots from Sorel and would not hesitate to recommend Sorels to all of my friends. Thank you Sorel, for a superior boot!

I owned a pair of conquest boots for over 10 yesrs. I worked on the snow at 2 ski resorts Sundy River Maine and Crested Butte Colorado. Ive been in more situations in cold weather than most. The Sorel Conquests have never let me down. The one time I had an issue with the boots, Sorel sent me a new pair..These are the ONLY boots I will ever use for cold weather work and play..

These boots are great @ keeping water out and keeping my feet dry, the little elastic rope you pull @ the top promises that. I love the grip on the bottom, it makes it a lot easier to walk threw snow and on ice and since the water proofing is so high above the ankle on the boot walking threw deep puddles isn't troublesome. Great product!

i have had the conquest boot since 1994 and love them I live in the PNW and they are perfect i work in the oil fields and they are way better then bafins boots but cant wear them because they are not steel toe please make this boot in a steel toe or safty toe so you can have a hole new market of people because everyone that sees them wants them your loyal customer thankyou!!!!!!!!

The entire process was smooth. I really enjoy my purchase. Thank you

I bought these about a month ago and the timing couldn't have been better. We've been having the snow storm du jur in the Norteast and so far they have performed as advertised: warm, rugged and waterproof. And it may be my imagination, but I think the interior is forming to my foot because I can slip in and out in a nanosecond. And they look good!

these boots are a snug fit so i would go up a size with or without thicker socks.i've only had them a few weeks but they seem well built and very heavy duty.there is no tounge as they look in the picture which is a good thing as it prevents any snow from entering.i've put them through 3 snow storms one which dumped over 2 feet of snow and have worn them in temps in the teens,my feet have been dry and toasty warm.i even wore them all day at workonce and they were comfortable even being on my feet with them for 8 hours.they are not at all a wimpy boot,they're a little heavy with a "work boot" feel to them-but very comfortable

I have owned the conquest boot since 1999, They are an awesome boot. I work outside in Michigan, and work very well. I work about 9 hours in temperature's that would make most sick to there stomach and standing in snow up to your knees. When my feet get cold from just standing in one spot, all you have to do is just walk a few hundred feet then your back on track. If this boot is still made with the same quaility as they were back then I recommend this boot to anyone and everyone....

I just wore the boot in Park City where the temps were between 20

They were for my brother in Switzerland who has owned a pair of Conquest for many years. Needed a new pair and I saved him nearly $100 by buying here and mailing to Switzerland. He is a happy "camper". I've owned a pair of Caribous for many years. simply the best in snowy Park city, UT. thks

I have no idea where people are coming up with all of these negative comments. I work two jobs in the winter, one being my full time job as a diesel Technician where I have to keep Trucks running in low temps so they dont freeze, and be under cold trucks all day. Secondly I work snow removal sometimes up to 18 hours a night non stop shoveling, plowing, snow brooming and salting in sub zero weather. I go snowmobiling for over 8 hours at a time. These boots have been through it all. Have never let me down once. My feet are always dry and warm. Sorel for life.

I work on a very large ski mountain in VT, and am an "on snow" employee. The company issues name brand (expensive) mountaineering boots, although I much prefer to work in my Conquests, they are warmer, and more comfortable. They hold up to 14 hr days in subzero temps on all types of terrain. They also handle the boot dryer every night for about 4.5 months out of the year. As my paycheck depends on me being out in every type of weather imaginable, these are worth their weight in gold. Thanks for the awesome boot.

Nice, design, waterproof, slim boot, easy to walk in.

I too am surprised to read of negative comments about Conquest boots. I bought a pair last December for snowmobiling and shoveling the drive and love them. They fit good and keep my feet warm and dry as I'm walking through or playing in knee high snow for many hours at a time. I bought my Conquests after having a new pair of Castle X Fusion boots for less than a month. I love how light and flexible they are while keeping my feet warm. I don't wear my boots daily but they have not given any troubles so far (i.e. no issues with stitching, etc.). I actually came to this website to buy the same pair of boots for a friend so he can join me for sledding fun! I think they're a great pair of boots!

A high quality boot that keeps my feet warm and dry. I can stay outside in the snow for hours w/o my feet feeling cold. This boot turned me on to Sorel which makes great products. They are bulky outside but the fit is accurate if not a bit large.

Love the boot. This is my second pair. The first pair lasted 12 years until the rubber finally deteriorated. The only trouble I've has and even the new pair is the rivets that hold the lace loops are not pressed well. I needed to use my privet punch to put back on a few of them and press the others to stay on.

Your size chart is off. I used your chart, measured my foot, and it told me to get an 8. I have never wore an 8 anything so I purchased a size 9 figuring if it was a little big that would be ok. Well it wasn't a little bit, its a bit tighter then I prefer, although not enough that I'm going through the hassel it would take to trade them up 1/2 a size. Fix your size chart.

The first order was my standard size and the boots were a bit snug lengthwise, I returned for the next size up I am a 13 but am operating in a size 14 and the fit is correct. The boots have nice features to keep your feet warm and dry. I would ask if the boot were to be perfect that Sorel add some side finger pulls to aid in putting on the boots. I find there my hands searching for a hand hold while putting them on. The large rubber lug on the heal is great for foot wedging off and hold a snowshoe strap in place excellent feature. Warm and dry that's all my feet ask and this boot delivered

This is the third year in a row I purchased these boots. Unfortunately the pair I received this year didn't last a week. The lace grommets pulled out of the leather. I am confident it was just a fluke. I have already ordered a replacement.
