Well, Sorels are always warm. I have a pair of Sorel Alpha Trac Buckle boots that are great, but unfortunately, they don't make them any more. I tend to stay away from snowmobile boots that lace, so I don't think I would buy another pair of Sorels for snowmobiling.

 

I have the same boots and love them! That sucks they don't make them anymore. They were very different from all the other Sorel boots. The description of them even said for winter motorsports, they are very stiff and supportive.

 

You may want to post how much you're willing to spend. You may get a lot of suggestions that are or are not in your price range. Just a thought.

 

My Sorels, which I love, are for walking the dogs and shoveling the driveway. I'd strongly consider a snowmobiling specific boot. You can use them for anything but really have some nice attributes designed for sledding..i.e, support, moisture wicking, contoured fit, tougher treads, etc... And about the same price as a good pair of Sorels.

bcporsche,
Sounds like you might be looking for something a little tougher to wear casually, or is this for riding? Also what is a good price range for you? We carry a wide selection of snowmobile boots.

 

I've had my glaciers since 98 and love them. I wish they had more support with ankles though, and they're a little clumsy, but I've never been cold. Ask your local outfitter for a glacier style Sorele if Sorele is your thing.

 

I wear these also. Never get cold feet.

 

I have been wearing Bogs rubber boots with a wool bottom liner. Usually wear Sorels if colder than 10 degrees but I have been happy with my Boggs because they are not bulky and I can move around on and off my snowmobile.

 

What about Bunny Boots? I heard about them, but really don't know how they are.

 

Bunny boots are great, but not great to ride in. They are just too large and heavy. I have a pair to ice fish in and they are just too bulky to fit nice in the foot wells. But you'd never, ever be cold in them. And there is no lining, they are just molded rubber, so if you get them wet somehow you can just wipe them dry and keep going, unlike boots that need a liner to dry out. They are also $39 most places, so it's not like it's a big investment to try them.

I have ridden in Sorels for years and have liked them, but they are not great for aggressive riding. I get about 3 years before the rubber starts cracking/tearing and are no longer waterproof. But they are light and cheap, comfortable and warm. $99 for 3 years isn't bad. I'm actually on the hunt for a new pair of riding boots and can't decide myself so I will keep my eye on this thread.

 

I have wore Sorel Snow Bears now for 20+ years. Other than squeaking when you walk I love the height of the boot(just below the knee). Not sure if they still make them.

 

Depends a bit on the type of rider you are, if you are really active Sorels will drive you nuts. If you sit on your butt all day and don't move your feet they might be right as then you need something really warm, where when active you don't.

Personally, I would also look at snowmobile specific boots. Ankle support, tougher bottom, moisture wicking are all huge to me but I am active.

 

I wear FXR X-Cross boots. Warm, durable, sets your foot and ankle in a real good position for on trail or off trail riding.

I have a pair of Baffin Selkirks, and they work great for everything I do outside in the winter. From snowmobiling to snowshoeing or ice fishing.

I wear my Snowboarding boots. Currently have a pair of Vans and a pair of DC's. They are stiff, light weight, warm, wick moisture, etc etc.

 

I have Nike snowboard boots, light and flexible, unlike some boots that are stiffer then nightime wedding dick

 

A good pair of insulated work/hunting boots also work well and are more multipurpose than a sled specific boot.

 

I just bought a pair of Northwoods 800 gram t hinsulate hunting boots rated to 65 below active at Gander for 60 bucks.Very lightweight and seem to be well made.

 

For what it's worth, I picked up a cheap pair of snow board boots. I've ridden in some pretty cold temps and my feet have stayed pretty warm and dry. They have really good ankle support as well.
