I have a pair of Sorel Snow Lions that I bought for $5 at a garage sale - they are fabulous.  Thought I'd get a new pair - what a mistake.  Although they look the same, the new Sorel Snow Lions weigh at least 3 times as much as the ones I got at a garage sale.  I feel like Fred Munster wearing them.  Way too heavy.  Wish I could sell them, but no luck on Craigslist.
