 A very versitle, well made winter boot.Mar 30, 2010
By Utnylr
I've owned this boot for most of the winter now. We had crazy snows here in the mid-Atlantic, and this boot did very well keeping my feet warm and dry during tedious snow shoveling. It is indeed water proof, and if you are moving comfortably warm. Could it go to -40 degrees? I really don't know. I've been down to the teen's and it's been very comfortable. I've also worn them in the 60's and still been comfortable.
I've found other uses for this boot to include: Motorcycling and Backpacking. The insulation hold its own against 70mph winds and 30 degrees. The sole is stable enough and oil resistant enough that it never slipped on the tarmac.
Recently I went on a backpacking trip with a 30 pound pack. It was an all weather, all terrain trip and the boot did very well. It's extremely light for an insulated, waterproof mid calf boot. It saw duty over rocks, snow, mud, gravel, hard pack, and stream crossings. I would not recommend wading in over the top of the boot - the gaiters are not that tightly sealed. However, I stood in a mountain stream that was engorged with snow melt runoff for well over 30 minutes on a ~20-30 degree day to take some photos. The water was up to my ankle, and I not only stayed dry, but stayed warm.
I've taken off one start for lacing system. It's a bit flaky, and requires a good bit of fiddling to get juuuuust right. The stabilizer buckles feel great when you first tighten them up, but get loose after ~60 minutes of walking. However that's an easy fix: Just tug it snug when you take a break.
Some folks have complained that they are hard to get into. Compared to an ankle high boot, yes they are. However that is a realitive comparison. they are just as easy as a pair of fast lace combat boots. The build quality is solid, and should last awhile if treated right. A reviewer on the REI web site complained that he snapped the gaiter pull off. This would be possible if you were not mindful of how hard you were pulling. Remember the built in gaiter is not supposed to be a water seal. Its a snow seal.

 This seemed so promising...Mar 15, 2011
By Erin Thompson

This review will be brief, as I only spent about two days with the product.
In short, the boots present well, are very light weight and have a removable insole which is a nice feature. Unfortunately, the pull string at the back of the boot which in theory serves to provide a snug fit around the lower calf, is a piece of trash. I pulled it and it promptly snapped. It's possible I got a dud, but I don't think that's the case. Furthermore, I attempted to exchange the boots for the same size (directly returned them to Sorel), and instead of shipping me another pair to see if they'd work better, the company simply refunded my account. And that's fine I suppose, except for it leaves the impression that Sorel is aware of the issue and knows that such problems are inherent in the design of the boots. It's a real pity because I did considerable research before buying this particular model and had high hopes for these Sorels. They seemed to be the perfect combination of rugged, sleek, water proof, and warm that I sought. Oh well, the search continues.

Good bootsFeb 09, 2011
By Giovanni Gourdet
Good boots but I'm not so sure with the minus 40 degrees F claim. It does keep your feet warm but you must invest in some insulated socks. Over the last month, NYC got a lot of snow and it helped very much. The elastic string from the back of the boot was defective. The first day I tried it, it "poped-out" due to poor material or craftmanship. I only wish I didn't wear so that I can get my money back.

 love them so farFeb 10, 2010
By Martin McNamara

First, I tried these on at REI before buying them from Amazon. Definitely get a size small. 11's fit me perfect with room for warm socks even though I wear a size 12 everywhere else.
Next, they're pretty warm, but they're not pac boots, so you'll want warm socks if you're going to be in the snow for a while. I like these boots over lots of others I tried on because I need to be able to lace up tightly to keep my arches and knees from hurting. They appear really well made (in Vietnam, not China like I heard about a previous year's model). They really feel like they'll last for a good long time. My Yak Trax even fit on them, so I couldn't be happier. I'm primarily using these in Tahoe around the ski cabin and on hikes through the preserve with the dogs.

 Basic design flaw goes uncorrectedJan 08, 2011
By PT
Just received my second pair of Sorel Men's Open Range Winter Boots. I returned the first pair due to a manufacturer's defect - the cord that tightens the gaiter cuff on the right boot broke the first time I tightened it. Upon receipt of the second pair, and before putting the boots on, I tightend the cords on the gaiters of both boots. Although I used minimal tensile pull on the cords, both cords immediately showed signs of failure - the outer sheaths of both cords were frayed and ready to break. At this point, it's clear that the gaiter cords are underdesigned and not up to the task for which they are intended. The boots themselves seem to be well-made but the poorly executed gaiter construction is a fatal flaw in my eyes. As such, I would not recommend this particular model.
