Sports reviews of Sorel Men's Conquest Boot

Customer Review: These boots WORK. Plain and simple.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I picked up my Sorel Conquests about 5 years ago, when I started working as a skilift mechanic at a small mountain in NH. On a typical day I started by checking the lift lines around 0630, spent the entire day either walking or snowmobiling around the mountain, and finished up between 2100 and 2300 by tightening up loose J-bars. I only did that job for one winter, but since then I've worn them for winter hiking, camping, snow shoveling, 4-wheelin', plowing snow, and just getting around in New England winters. These are the boots I WISH I could have worn while stationed in Korea and Germany in the army - they're comfortable, warm, waterproof, and rugged, all things generally lacking in army issued footwear. It's time to start wearing them for winter #6 (the same pair), and I have absolutely no doubts they'll serve as well as they have in the past. Where I lived in NH temps of -20F to -30F weren't uncommon, and my feet never got cold in these boots even when I stood still for extended periods of time.

These boots require minimal care, but the most important things to do are: 1) Buy a Peet Shoe Dryer and put the boots on them every night. The next morning your boots will be dry and toasty warm, which is really a great thing. 2) Apply beeswax to the leather about every 2 weeks. Just warm up the boots in front of a space heater and work the beeswax in with your fingers - don't be afraid to really slather it on, and pay special attention to the areas around the eyelets and seams.

Some of the reviewers complained about the lack of a speed lacing system, but the problem with speed laces is after a while the lower laces just don't tighten up. With these the best method is to loosen the laces all the way down to the bottom, stick your foot in, then tighten each individual set of eyelets to where it's snug but not tight. For the first 2 or 3 days you'll be experimenting because you'll either have them too loose or too tight somewhere, and the boots will be fitting themselves to your feet and walking style. Remember, these boots are made to be put on and not taken off for some time - if you're in and out of the house 3 or 4 times a day, the 3 or 4 minutes it takes to properly lace these boots for maximum comfort is going to seem a bit much. Leave the Achilles strap loose til the boots are broken in, or else the buckle will rub your ankle bone raw through the leather. I personally like to tighten mine maybe 1/4" after all slack is taken out. Wear a good set of thick wool socks with these - I like Wigwam Merino Wool socks personally, but Smartwool is great too.

All in all, I don't think I've ever gotten more for 100 bucks than I did with these boots. The only real con is I wish they weren't made in China.
