Sorel Caribou Snow Boots for Women: The Sorel Caribou Snow Boots for Women feature seam-sealed, waterproof construction for all day driness and a winter weight lining for added comfort and insulation. Complete with a removable 9MM Thermo Plus Felt InnerBoot and insulation, the Caribou Snow Boot will keep your toes toasty in temperature to -40 degrees Farenheit and your calfs warm with its acrylic blend wool snow cuff top. Topped off with Sorel's Aerotrac non-loading natural rubber outsole, these boots will keep you steady on your feet in wet, snowy, and icy conditions.Customer Review: Probably your best choice for a warm basic snow boot
These 10" high winter boots set the standard for basic cold weather boots in snowy conditions. They're probably the boot most commonly worn by locals in snowy Western mountain towns. But be advised there is not a lot of lateral stability in the sole of the boot. That is to say, the rubber bottoms tend to twist sideways making them, in my opinion, unsuitable for anything other around town use and possibly some work situations. The twisting motion makes traveling off beaten paths, especially climbing hills or side hilling, more difficult and tiring. My seven year old (Canadian made) Sorel Caribou models have somewhat thicker and probably more water resistant leather uppers, but the current (Chinese made) Sorels seem to have more advanced combination synthetic and wool felt liners and apparently much-needed additional underfoot insulation. These boots have a cool look with the faux shearling collars but their relatively modest height means you will need to wear gaiters to keep out snow if you leave beaten paths. Felt lined pacs are typically the warmest boots for the bucks and the liners can be taken out to dry. I've washed my Sorel liners on gentle cycle using wool-friendly soap with excellent results and spraying some Armorall (used to perk up rubber and plastic in cars) on the rubber bottoms keeps them looking great as well. Recommended to anyone who wants a warm, foolproof, traditional looking boot to wear in around-town or to cold weather outdoor events, keep in the car for emergencies and possibly wear to work or riding snow machines in really cold weather.
Customer Review: Sorel Boots
I find these boots to be uncomfortable. I'm not sure if it's the way they were packed (jammed into a box that was too small), but the part of the boot that hits against my ankle is dented in and rubs uncomfortably. They are also big, and I find it difficult to drive while wearing them. I like the looks of the boots and if I can re-shape them, perhaps they'll be fine for walking outside in the snow.
The Wrekening: An Ancient Mirrors Tale
by Jayel Gibson
Synergy Books (2006)
ISBN 9781933538303
The Wrekening begins as the Feie named Brengven is searching for a meal and stumbles upon a cavern full of demonic stone soldiers. Opening a rift, he hurries to the fortress of the House of Aaradan where Yavie, the Dragon Queen, and her husband Sorel live with Yavies Guardians. Hearing the news of the discovery of the army and using the knowledge of the Ancient wizard, Grumblton, they decide that something must be done to collect and destroy the Wreken Shards, the heart shards of the Wreken Wyrms, or stubstrata dragons. Knowing that sending guardians would draw too much attention, they call upon the help of Nall and Naeres estranged daughter, Cwen and her friend Talin. At first they refuse, but Brengven, who was sent to convince them, finally succeeds after Caen, who has been good-naturedly stalking Cwen, gets shot by her.
The Feie uses Caen, who is somewhat of a rogue, to convince her by saying that he will take Caen on the quest and that she is too weak to complete the quest. In the end, all three of them accompany Brengven. Several days later, they are traveling through Spire Canyon when Cwen is captured by the Thralax, an intelligent, gorilla-like monster. Just as Cwen is escaping on her own, Caen and Talin come to rescue her and nearly kill the Thralax. Cwen saves it by way of a blood oath, and it is forever sworn to protect her. She steals its vast wealth and continues towards the first of the 13 Wreken Shards.
After Cwen and her group have collected the first and several other Wreken Shards, they get news that one town has already been attacked by a dark army set free from an underground cavern by an evil enchantress. When Nall comes to tell them to speed up, he is nearly killed by Cwen, but nevertheless, they hasten in their task as more armies are awakened and more towns are destroyed. As Caen tries to worm his way into Cwens heart, Klaed, the son of a councilman who like Cwen and Talin refused to be guardians, shows up and vies for Cwens affections. Can Cwen and her friends recover and destroy all the Wreken Shards before Aedracmorae is destroyed?
In this second book of the Ancient Mirror series, Jayel Gibson not only writes well, but also draws the reader in to this mesmerizing story. The Wrekening is a book for teens that would enjoy reading about fantasy, dragons and dark armies.
