Sorel 1964 Premium Winter Boots for Men

My husband is a man who notoriously hard on boots. He is a person who spends hours upon hours outdoors, both at work and at play, so he always needs a boot which is dependable, sturdy and able to keep up with his active outdoor lifestyle. We spent literally months looking for the proper pair of winter boots for him this year, and were pleasantly surprised when we stumbled upon the Sorel 1964 Premium line of men's footwear. They are an excellent match for the activities and sports that my husband enjoys in these snowy winters, and he says they're the best winter show he's ever worn.

Sorel Incorporated has provided exceptional quality footwear to outdoor enthusiasts for the better part of a decade. Beginning in 1908, the Sorel company has built an outstanding name for themselves by consistently and accurately producing top-quality winter footwear for work and play. In 2000, they merged with the Columbia Sportswear Company, and that tradition of excellence continued. Sorel's merger with Columbia has offered the footwear a wider and more accessible public market, and only improved upon their reputation.

My husband works and plays outdoors in his 1964 Premium boots, and he's never had an issue with traction or stability in these boots, as he's often had in others. That stability can be attributed to the way that the sole and bottom of the 1964 boot is constructed. It is compromised of a superwarm rubber bottom. This rubber bottom holds it's shape and form exceptionally well, and does not warp, wear or crack under even the coldest temperatures. The bottom sole itself is rated for temperatures of -100 degrees, while the overall boot is rated at -40 degrees. Even with the super cold temperatures and snowfall here, my husband has never once complained of cold feet while wearing his 1964 Premiums.

When you spend the better part of your day in wet, cold conditions, you would expect the possibility of having wet socks at the end of the day a time or two. However, the Sorel 1964 Premium boot series has never left my husband's socks even the slightest bit damp. The upper of the boot is constructed of a mixture of Cordura nylon, Ripstop and leather, which is virtually resistant to any and all outside moisture. The leather is specifically tanned with all natural oils to make it water resistant, supple and durable. This combination of materials helps to make the upper portion of the boot soft and flexible, even when the temperature reaches will below 0. The interior of the boot houses a thin yet very warm liner, and an insole which helps to make them very easy on the feet, even after hours of work or play. My husband has spent many a 16 hour day in his 1964 Premiums and never complained of tired or sore feet. The Premium series is also sewn with a waterproof thread, ensuring that the seams as well keep water out, and dry, warm feet in.

The Sorel footwear products are readily available at most retailers who specialize in sporting goods. Stores such as Cabelas and REI sporting goods stores are excellent in person retailers in which to try on the 1964 series in person, but they are also widely available online. Prices normally range in the $80 to $90, depending on the store from which you're purchasing. There are a number of very well know, respected stores which carry the Sorel 1964 Premium line of men's boots, including Amazon, Zappos, and Sports Authority, to name a few.

The Sorel 1964 Premium men's boots have been one of the best purchases my husband and I have ever made. They are a daily fixture in our lives for the better part of the year, and have been a huge asset in allowing for steady, continual outdoor enjoyment for our entire family. I highly recommend the 1964 Premium series to anyone looking for solid, dependable, reliable winter footwear.
