And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Wore Sorels since I was a kid, still have a pair about 35 years old, soles about worn thru. New ones, made in China don't fit right and don't last, "rubber" cracks, soles separate, stitching leaks. There are others out there, better, cheaper.
Yer right Yooper. I've been on a few -20C deer watches with my Sorels and my feet were never cold. I've got three pairs of them (all acquired when they were still made in Canada by Kaufman's) and they are my 'go to' Winter boots. The off shore boots don't seem as well made. Steve_in_Ottawa
I wore wigwam irrigations boots without two pairs of socks in cold sloppu N Idaho Winters for years while working from can till cant. I even inspected trestles in those bastards. Then, one day down in Payette i was going to stake mining claims around hells canyon and I sawn sorels. Changed my life’s.
Later had a smoker jumper pal sew special materials gaiters on to the uppers
Very toasty, even at -40°
ReplyDeleteExpensive, but some things are worth the price.
