Customer Reviews SOREL Conquest™

I received this product as a gift about a year ago. The boot fits really nice and kept my feet warm and dry even in deep snow conditions. Recently, my wife got her car stuck in the snow and I had to push her out. The car eventually gave way and got free, however, my boots were split where the leather part meets the rubber. The seams are not sewn into the rubber part, but are more "glued" together. Overall, I judge that these boots are very good for light use (i.e., walking to your mailbox), but don't expect them to hold up to anything more than that.

Love the boot, keep the feet dry and warm in 20 degree weather and snow, not very water tight, when tempiture gets above the freezing temp. They are not made real tough, mine are falling apart at the seams, the leather from the rubber bottoms, both boots, wonder if they will replace them, purchased them last year this time?

I'VE WORN THESE BOOTS A TOTAL OF FIVE TIMES... THE RUBBER MIDSECTION OF THESE BOOTS HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES (BOTH BOOTS). I HAVE GONE THROUGH 2 LARGE TUBES OF SHOE GOO TO TRY TO KEEP THESE BOOTS TOGETHER ... I AGREE 100 % WITH OTHER REVIEWS ... THESE ARE GREAT LOOKING BOOTS IF YOU PLAN TO WEAR THEM ONCE AND THEN THROW THEM AWAY.. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THESE.

The very first time I laced up these boots one of the hook eyelets broke. The second time I laced them up another hook eyelet broke. The boots were literally brand new! Clearly bad quality, I don't recommend. I just filed a warranty claim and it will take 2-4 weeks to have them repaired (once they give me the ok to ship them back). So basically winter will be over when they are returned to me.

4 eyelets broke after the second time wearing them

The first time I put my foot into the shoe and tightened the laces the top rivet popped clean off. The boots fit just fine, but I don't trust the quality of these boots, and seeing as how Sorel has moved their factories overseas I don't recommend anyone else should either.

This is the second pair I've purchased. I used the first pair sparingly as I now only go to Canada a few times a year. The boots were always stored in room temperature and on shelf, not crammed in. The rubber cracked making them unusable and they had gone out of warranty. I contacted Sorel and they said this issue has since been addressed with a new sole compound. 2 years ago I bought a replacement pair. I have literally worn these boots 10 times total as COVID has kept me from going anyplace cold. I went to BC over the holidays and pulled out my boots and after a quick walk the same thing happened again these are expensive boots that otherwise look brand new but are now garbage this legendary brand has completely lost the thread by letting a product this bad out the door!

Suffered the same issues as many other customers. The material between the leather uppers and the sole has disintegrated. I say "material" because it's so thin I'm not sure if its rubber or vinyl. In addition, the leather upper is not sewn to the "material' below it, its cemented, and the lip it's cemented to is so narrow it is the weakest place on the boot. Bought these boots from a reputable retailer. They need to know about this so they can drop this pathetic ChiCom junk from inventory.

The day my husband and I got our boots was 12/02/2020 and it is now 01/03/2021. Within the 1 month time frame, my husband has had 3 eyelits/rivets come off from the boots, and the elastic portion has come undone. We gifted ourselves these boots for Christmas because Sorel's are expensive and now it appears he won't even get to use them for long. You'd think for the price we paid that we would be getting what we paid for such as boots with quality. Apparently not, additional quality assurance needs to occur on these boots because other reviewers are addressing flaws with the Conquest boots. The only reason I gave the conquest boots a 1 star is because my husband mentioned the boots being comfortable and keeping his feet warm before his boots started falling apart. But how are the boots supposed to keep your feet warm if the boots are not useable.

I bought a pair the Conquest Boots yesterday. I laced them up today and one eyelet on each boot pulled out. Very comfortable, easy on and off, but unuseable. For the money I am very disappointed. Cannot recommend under any circumstances.

These boots are barely worn. I have have an older pair of sorrels that have lasted decades without an issue. When I bought these, I thought I was getting what I expected from Sorel. I didn't; they are terrible. When I was in the snow this morning, the entire rubber on the left boot came apart. When you spend the amount of money for a pair of sorels, you expect something much better than this. Sorel should really warrant these outside of any current one year warranty policy. Right now, its buyer beware.

Out of the box I've got 3 broken rivets on one boot. This is unacceptable and an example of terrible quality control. Cracks in at least 3, and who know how many others. Haven't even gotten the chance to wear them in the snot because the lacing system is compromised. That's half of the upper lacing system gone.

Was looking forward to trying out these new boots to shovel the driveway. Started to tighten the laces and poof the lacing hook snapped off. Ended up shoveling with a pair of trail shoes. Very disappointing.

These boots have been worn minimally, as you can see from the tread. Wore them today and both the left and right boots split around the base. The rubber cracked and is breaking off. There is no ability to repair and they have been worn less than five times. The only upside is that they were warm! But now, I have no boots for my Minnesota Christmas vacation. Highly unfortunate, as our family has purchased Sorels in the past however now will rethink our next purchase as there are many reputable boot companies out there now, with a desire for good customer service.

after two days lace eyelets separated from both boots. replaced with similar Georgia Boots -- completely satisfied.

TO SMALL NOT WIDE WIDTH AS ORDERED. THERE ARE NONE

The rivets are breaking on all tge laces, never had a problem befor, must be new rivits. But multiple rivets broke on both boots

2nd pair, same resultthe molded rubber toe just falls apart. This is the second paid I've owned, hoping for a different result. Sorel said they had a manufacturing issue previously, so I threw down the money againnope. I live in TX, they are stored indoors and worn about 10 days a year. This pair got 1 yearseems like the manufacturing issue is more of a quality issue with this boot. Read the reviews across several sites and you'll see this is a common issue.

Right boot had a sharp piece sticking up into back of heel. Boots were too small.

I purchased the Conquest boot for moderate winters in Kansas. They were great and warm. I moved to Texas where the winters are mild. We just had single digit weather with snow and ice. I took them out of their box and within 1 hour, both boots disintegrated... both soles cracked completely off. Very disappointed. They are like brand new. This is what we get when we let China make our goods. No more quality. Makes me mad.

I have had these boots since 2008? Maybe 2007? And while they ARE warm, and WERE waterproof for one season, the leather separated from the rubber sole and I've been using epoxy to glue them together ever since. To be honest, they perform much better after being epoxied than they ever did before. I was thinking of buying another pair, but after looking at these reviews, I realize it's been an issue for this model forever basically. I expect more from a pair of boots this expensive and from Sorel, a company with high esteem. These boots need to be redesigned. Side note, they perform pretty well AFTER being epoxied. Since the break was so clean, I was able to get epoxy deep into the rubber area to connect it to the rest of the shoe. I'll probably wear these until they fall apart completely. Someone should have addressed this years ago.

I bought these boots a few years back and expected them to last a lifetime my other Sorels have lasted 30 years and are still going. I wore these maybe 5 times. I put them on the other day and they fell apart. Buyer Beware

I bought these 4-5 years ago and really loved them. I try not to leave negative reviews but Sorel needs to fix the issues with these boots. I pulled them out of the closet this year and found a big hole in the side. I only wear these 2-3 weeks a year if the weather gets bad. The leather upper is still in good shape but the rubber lower has become brittle and is tearing away from the upper.

Like pretty much everyone else, the rubber part of this boot just completely disintegrated.

So I had to shovel snow today but instead I shoveled these right in the trash.
