Sorel Women's 1964 Premium Snowboot

Since moving to New York, I feel like I have needed twice as many shoes as I did living in the south. Not just for the snow and the rain, but for the cold, the comfort, walking from the train, putting on your heels at work and all points in between. Not to mention, living a pedestrian lifestyle can wear your shoes out incredibly quickly. Forget Snowpocalypse - I feel like I'm constantly in a Shoepocalypse.
Speaking of Snowpocalypse, the day after the storm I discovered that my trusty snowboots were in dire need of repair. Naturally with almost two feet of snow on the ground, I immediately began scouring the internet for a replacement pair. My blogging buds Amber & Julia have always raved about their Sorel boots, but I was on the fence. I've never felt compelled to own wellies, but after walking through 20-something inches of melting snow, I was tired of my feet being wet.
After a laborious decision, I chose the Sorel 1964 Premium Snowboot in Black (obviously). When I picked the boots up out of the box, I was shocked by how heavy they felt. When I put them on, the sheer sturdiness and heft of the boots blew me away. Admittedly, I walked around the city like I was walking around in a spacesuit.
They're sturdy. They're waterproof. They're warm. With 5 snowy days on the 10-day forecast, I have a feeling that I'll be wearing these more this winter than I might expect.
