First off, the shipper of these boots delivered them very quickly.  These Sorel boots have been a blessing for keeping the feet warm and dry.  These are a better quality boots than the similiar Caribou of a lesser price where the reviews indicated that the other style are good for low active levels.  These have better leather, soles, and felt liners for active use.  Winter building and snow work is much warmer on the little piggys.
