Buxton Lite Lace Plus Waterproof Leather Boots

These shoes hurt across the roof of the foot, where the rubber waterproofing meets the fabric material. I tend to walk around 10-12 miles across a mix of urban and rural settings. I am an avid walker and have had many different brands across the years. These boots started to dig into the roof of the feet within half a mile of flat terrain, I always wear premium walking socks but that should not matter. Sadly, I am having major issues with getting a refund for these boots, the experience with Sorel has been really poor. I have swapped to another well known hiking boot manufacturer, managed 14 miles on the first walk, no issues at all. I would not recommend this boot for any form of walking.

Huge fan of Sorel so I am admittedly a bit biased. Bought a pair of caribous when I was 13 and still wear them today at 50. Love their slippers as well though they are not quite as durable. Wore these boots everyday for a three week trip through German Christmas markets, tobogganing on Mt. Titlis in Switzerland and Disneyland Paris. Temps never got above 34 degrees and were well below freezing most of the time. These boots are super comfortable and at no time were my feet even chilly. I recommend an insole for those who want more arch support and be aware of the lack of grommet for the second eyelet when tying them (they really should add a grommet there). One of the best pairs of shoes I have ever owned. Tempted to buy a second pair so I have another when the pair I have now wear out.

Great shoe but eyelet broke through after only a couple of months. The eyelet on other shoe is also about to break. This is a design flaw on an otherwise great shoe. For the price, this should be covered under warranty.
