Sturdy Inexpensive Winter Boot Conquers Winter Cold
I have been a Sorels boot wearer my entire life. With this boot, I switch from Sorel to Kamik. Kamik is superior in every way to Sorel, and is less expensive too. The bottom tread is bold and really grips slippery surfaces. Sorels have minimal tread and are very slippery on icy snow. Kamik boots have a reinforced lower rubber boot that is much stronger and tear resistant than any Sorel boot I have owned. The upper is a tough weather resistant leather that is strong, yet pliable. The laces are easy to strap up and tie off. The inner insert is thick and comfortable, and (thankfully) warm. The entire boot us much smaller than that of the sorel, thus, walking is much more comfortable in the Kamik. I have walked five miles in these and my feet felt great.
These are not the very top of the line boots that have advanced insulation and cost more than my weekly paycheck! These are an everyday practical boot that is warm, durable and practical for the north country winters. I really like them, and like the price too! Kone
