This is my second pair of Conquest Carlys. My first pair were an earlier version of this boot that I got over 3 years ago. I am still using my old pair but they are looking a bit rough from all the hiking I've done in muddy areas. I wanted to get another pair to use as city boots in polite society.
I have to say, these ones are already surpassing them in comfort and warmth! Sorel has made some improvements to the Carly model. The footbed is so much more plush and comfortable. If they hold up as well as their predecessors, I've found my new favorite boots!
I would recommend going half a size up, especially if you'll be wearing thick socks.
