By Jimmy the Geek from Holland Michigan on 11/08/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy Entry & Exit, Good Traction, Lightweight, Warm, Waterproof Best Uses: Cold Weather, Slippery Terrain, Snow, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living, Winter Sports Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought these boots for ice fishing during Northern Michigan's coldest months. I have yet to stand on the ice in them but during the cold days of breaking them in, they have been fine. I expect that worn with a medium to heavy wool sock, they will work perfectly.

Great all around boot, tested in field By Neal A. Douglas from Gouverneur, NY on 11/03/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy Entry & Exit, Functional, Good Traction, Warm, Waterproof Best Uses: Cold Weather, Slippery Terrain, Snow, Snow Shoes, Steep and uneven terrain, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living, Winter Sports Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Bought these boots in Cheyenne on my way to Idaho for hunting, broke them in in the field in some adverse conditions and was pleased with their performance. Camped at 6800 feet, low teens at night, mid 30's during the day. Traversed steep terrain above 7000 feet in both snow and loose rough rocks. Boot tread offered outstanding traction up and down hill, ankle support, achiles support, warmth and waterproofing. Gator offered good snow seal and held up well. A removable liner would have been nice to put near the heater at night to dry, but was able to dry just standing them up in the tent. The rear lug has proven to work well with my snow shoe harnesses. I have been impressed thus far, will be a great boot for snow removal and all around use in Northern NY this winter. Images shared by: Neal A.

By Jeff B. from Northeast CT on 11/03/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy Entry & Exit, Good Traction, Warm, Waterproof Best Uses: Cold Weather, Slippery Terrain, Snow, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living, Winter hunting, Winter Sports Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought these boots primarily for winter deer hunting. The late Fall/early Winter season here in the New England can be anywhere from 45 deg down to below 0 deg. I needed a boot with good support, traction & above all...warmth. I've typically used pac boots with removable liners but decided to give these a try because of their rugged leather construction.
Some tips for more protection & warmth in these boots: a proper application of sno-seal to the leather outside surfaces...remove the foam rubber sole liners & replace them with inexpensive felt sole liners typically used to add thickness to the bottom of removable felt liner boots (Sorel makes these)...wear a thin pair of nylon/acrylic dress socks underneath a good merino wool hiking sock...make sure you have room to wiggle your toes - I normally wear a size 11W, I needed a size 12M in the Conquest for the fit I wanted.
The only drawback that I've encountered so far is that they're a little difficult to tighten (& loosen) the laces - but thats it.
Haven't had any serious cold yet but I bet these boots can handle it...I can't wait.

After trying them on in a retail store, I found my real size. (true to size) Great boot with traction and warmth. The real test will come at Christmas when I am in the Colorado mountains skiing and hiking. They look great and have the vulcan rubber bottoms. Thanks Sierra...
