Sorel Women's Helen of Tundra Winter Boot Review

Sorel Women's Helen of Tundra Winter Boot

Maybe you don't have to cross Siberia, but with the Sorel Helen of Tundra Snow Boot for women you'll have the confidence to traverse an urban ice storm or short cut a bottomless powder field. This leather upper snow boot with shearling detail rises to a supper protective 13.5 in. height and buckles down the fit just above its 100% waterproof rubber bottom. Brand new for the 2009, this sister of the Joan of Arctic is seam sealed, and features fixed Thinsulate Insulation for a toasty and dry foot. A full front zipper allows for easy on and off function, while herringbone outsole delivers exceptional traction in even the nastiest conditions.

Customer Reviews

These boots are AMAZING. I walk all over the place in them. Not only are they comfortable, keep your feet dry (I walk in time Mucky very often) and warm. In fact, it's a good thing to have sipper front, because sometimes I have to unzip them only because my feet are so hot! We have not started the coldest part of winter yet, so I suspect this will be the most valuable qualities of these boots ...
They are also very nice. Something different - not the boot of every day of rain rubber, or the run of the mill startup dish - No one else has quite like these boots! And I can wear with almost everything. The front zipper is functional, not only for cooling (see above), but for greater versatility in fashion. Often wear cute knee-socks and leave them a bit 'so unzipped socks show.
The only problem I had was small - that seems to run a bit 'large - not much - and, presumably, so you can wear high socks underneath them. I wear 7.5 or 8 (usually an 8 is a bit 'too big, or 7.5 is a bit' too little, and of course, shoes vary in different way I always try both and choose the best solution), and I got these in an 8. I think they are a bit 'too big, and so when I started wearing them they rubbed on the back of my ankle (because there was not some slip - a snug fit? I'm not sure this can be successful if it was too small but I'll never know), but this was easily solved with a patch, and then, after I broke them I had no more problems.
A king has the last word: sizing: I have huge calves, compared to most women, and a lot of times you can not even fall into calf-length boots. These are really in shape! Although it is convenient and I had to stretch out a bit '. Of course, I wish they were more spacious, but that is a function of my calves, not boots. I guess they are good for a calf of average size (although it may be a bit 'wide if you really, really skinny calves), and works even if you have medium-large calves.
