Experience with Sorel snow boots

[u/MadAboutPink]

I've never bought snow boots before and I find a lot of them very ugly. Now I will need them to keep my feet warm in minus 30, so I can't judge the model alone, but I like these 3 Sorel boots. Does anyone have these and if so, how are they working out for you? How often do you wear them, in what temperatures and how well do they hold up?

1. Caribou Horizon GTX

2. Snow Angel

3. Ona Ave Alpine Tall Lux

I have yet to find another brand with similar, white snow boots (for ladies) that has good or better reviews (as I read some posts about how Sorel's quality isn't as it used to be and these aren't cheap enought to break down after a few months).

Don’t have those specific ones but I have some Sorels from 2011. And they still do the job. Last January they survived -32c in Finland. Apparently the quality went downhill a bit a few years ago I believe but I cant tell for sure.

Yeah, that's why I'm asking for people with experience with these specific models as 2011 is quite some time ago haha. I wish they were still reliable, or people have other suggestions.

Go to a shop where someone can scan your feet and provide advice. I know that good looking shoes are nice but good fitting shoes can be even better! :)

I might have to give that a try!

So I have the male version of the Caribou an it’s great. Super warm, sturdy and well made. It did great in the shittiest of weather. -35C no problem

That's good to hear! So those are a new, recent model?

Bought them around last year Fall time. So yes should be recent.
