For 30 years I have had to work outside in the winter. I've owned about 8 different pair of snowboots. I bought my first Sorels in the early 80's. They lasted me many winters and kept my feet warm. The Mavericks I currently own have lasted me over 10 years. They are probably the warmest and most convenient winter boot I have ever owned. They have high tops and a good grip on the sole that is comfortable to walk several miles on.

Got my self a pair through the company I work for, while supervising geophysical work in North East British Columbia. My feet were warm and comfortable even though I was outside up to 8 hours walking in the deep snow and snowmobiling. Mavericks are not bulky and stiff so getting in and out of helicopter was no problem. I am also using them for horse back riding in the winter on the trails around Calgary. It will be good to know what to use for maintenance i.e. what sort of products to apply to keep leather and rubber soft and long lasted

This is the start of my 14th season using this boot. i have worn this boot hunting, ATV riding and clearing the snow for all this time and it has never failed to keep my feet warm and dry. i do not wear this boot everyday, just for the above purposes. i do feel that 13 years of intended use in harsh weather conditions is alot for a boot to take. i do recommend this boot to all my friends that require serious footwear for serious outdoor activities. Thank you for making a great product that does what it is advertised to do.
