I work outside most of the winter. Sorel and LaCrosse dominate the really-freakin'-cold weather market here. I would actually be afraid to try something different out of the fear becoming "JOG Nine-toes".
The ultimate test of a cold weather boot is standing in one spot on frozen blacktop or cement all day. Cold radiates up through the bottom of the boot where the lining is compressed by your body weight. Sorel or LaCrosse - tens of thousands of Minnesotans can be wrong about presidential candidates but not about warm feet.
