Great product!! high quality!! I tried on 10 different manufactures with no success. Then remembered the reason I was replacing my orginal Sorel snowmobile boots that were purchased in 1986, and I should look at what Sorel has to offfer. Bought them online without trying them on they showed up within 4 days and fit perfect with features that others did not offer at a great price for a quality boot...still have my orginal pair of Sorels and use the for everyday winter activity!!
I would recommend this product.

Ordered these boots late in the season. They are very tight to get into, but, after they are on they fet great. They are stiff, and this is noted on a prior review, but it also states that they loosen up very quickly. I will know much more during the next winter season.
I am looking forward to being able to keep my feet warm and dry during many hours in the woods.

I bought these boots because I needed a new pair and got a really good deal on them. Fit a bit big but managable, I usually wear heavier socks anyway while snowmobiling. Anyway these boots are great, very warm. Feet don't cold at all, a couple days were warmer than usual and my feet were starting to sweat, not good when the temp drops later but that didn't happen. Definitely recommend these boots for anyone going out in the cold and snow.
I would recommend this product.

I bought these to use when snowmobiling and these are the perfect boot for that! They have a stiff outer shell that provides support similar to like a snowboard boot so be warned the are not great for walking long distances as they are stiff even though they break in a good amount after a while.
Just used them today in the fresh 2+ feet of powder we got dumped on. I was in snow up to my knees several times and even stepped into a small brook by accident a couple times and not one flake of snow or drop of water got to my feet. I wear them with wicking material type socks and my feet never get cold or hot they stay just the perfect temperature!
I had to return my size 13 for size 14. The 13 fit my wide foot great but was a little too tight in the calf area. This is not the boots fault I definitely have large calves just noting that so you are aware.
Also you may find the boots are hard to get on and off until you learn a few tricks. The inner liner has a handle at the top back you can stick your hand through. Grab this and pull when your putting on the boot and your will slide right in. If you look on the outside by the heel there is rubber that juts outs about a 1/4". Step on this with your other foot as your trying to take them off and your foot will slide right out. Little practice doing this and getting them on and off will be no problem trust me!
I would recommend this product.

Bought the alpha trac buckle boot for snowmobiling and they are an excellent boot for that.Online description was right on.They are well worth the $ . My dad has a pair of sorels that he got in the 70's and still pulls them out sometimes and wears snowmobiling.Only problem here in Wisconsin is not enough snow again this year!
I would recommend this product.

Construction and materials are excellent, warmth and waterproofing is top notch but this boot has a couple major design flaws. The gator is a great idea but should be 6 to 8 inches longer in order to be effective. The bukles are alright although I would prefer a BOA lace system but the buckle strap pull tabs should be loops instead of small tabs that are difficult to grab and pull. The boot is quite comfortable and lightweight but due to the issues above I can't get a good solid fit which causes that heel slip which nobody likes.
I do not recommend this product.

I was in an unfortunate snowmobile accident and suffered two broken legs (one compound) both tibia and fibula had numerous fractures as well as a shattered ankle.
I want to convey my sincere thanks and gratitude for the Sorel Thermo Plus boots I was wearing that night. I honestly believe these boots saved my legs from further damage or loss.
I send my sincerest thanks and gratitude to your company and those who engineer and manufacture your boots!!
I would recommend this product.

I use this boot for snowmobiling and it's GREAT for that purpose. It seems built for that purpose. The liner is very warm, clearly warmer than a standard Sorel Caribou boot. It's a more technical boot, in that it's firmer, allowing one to maneuver more aggressively without the boot sagging or drooping like a Caribou would. The sole has great traction, and the buckles allow one to really snug it down. I like the cinch tight gasket at the top of the boot: no snow gets into the boot, even when wading/powering through deep snow. The reinforcement over the front of the boot also really protects one's shin when it slams into the sled now and then. This boot could be used for many snow uses, but it seems built for snowmobiling.
Only gripe is that on my early model one of the plastic tags at the end of the buckle strap popped off. Functionally it doesn't matter. All of my friends now ride in this boot.
I would recommend this product.

I have been looking for some good winter boots that could stand up to anything and I have finally found them. My winters consist of deep snow in Steamboat or very cold temperatures in Yellowstone. These boots are amazing. I love that the boots have buckles instead of laces so you can adjust them and take them off even if you have gloves on. The construction is second to none; I will have these boots for a very long time. They are extremely warm, but also seem to breathe well enough when it isn't super cold out. I also appreciate the built in gator that cinches at the top of the boot to keep snow out. One of my favorite features is the liner inside the boot that will come out when you are back indoors. it has a little bit of traction on the bottom so you wont slip and is a nice way to transition from being outside for long periods of time. These boots are very comfortable and indestructible. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a warm winter boot.

No matter how much, how wet or how cold the winters get here in MN I know my feet will be toasty warm with these boots.
My quest now is to find clothing to keep the rest of my body as warm as these keep my feet.
I would recommend this product.
