Dunga 1 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Thinking of getting some Sorel's from the US, anyone think they are ok? Is it worth the extra $ to get the woollen ones? Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 What sort of Sorel's are you looking at getting? Link to post Share on other sites
Dunga 1 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 What sort of Sorel's are you looking at getting? Looking at getting some Caribou's, i didnt realise there are so many different types... Last year i froze my toes off wearing my cons all stars (was a smart move by me). Any suggestions?

Clearly born in the 80s or early 90s! Exactly what my cubs would do. "Yeah nah Mum, my feet don't get cold the converse will be Kewl" Nek minnit "hey, why are my toes black" Find below evidence of poor decision making on footwear. And these were the sensible snow REPLACEMENT for the leaky converse that made his toes cold..... And yes. He is a snowboarder. Who has come out of the closet and is coveting those skis.

Dunga 1 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 For the record, just in the 80's... Should have been wiser for my age... Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Any suggestions? Buy some DCs or Vans high cuts (Much thicker and more water proof) and explorer socks. Never had cold feet and you dont have a set of heavy boots to drag around that you only ever wear when in the snow. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Mamabear, is that some nasty skin disease on his lower left leg? You'd think he'd cover it up rather than purposefully show it off! Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Prolly belongs in the face tattoo thread (even though it's not his face) Acquired in Hokkaido from some Japanese tattooist whom he believed had Yukaza connections. Painful and lots of blood I believe. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Sorels are big, but they aren't heavy Pete. Get them for half the Japan price at US Amazon. I suspect they might last me longer than five pairs of Japanese cheapo wellies would, though it might be the garden that wrecks them, not the winter. Link to post Share on other sites
