My girlfriend is looking for a winter boot. She keeps looking at overpriced local boots and she keeps buying stuff that lasts one season at best.

I'm thinking get something that lasts. Suggestions for rugged, very warm (She is a freezer) and solid winter boots?

no so many hints on style, but I've been happy with my L.L. Bean Shearling lined boots. They work in wet snow also..

Sorel Caribous come to mind also…Or something in that style,,,

or original finnish felt boots...google HUOPIKKAAT.  But only for those dry crispy snowy winter days. And they can be very slippery...

Well, good question really, she wanted something like the danner mountain light, just more feminine and warmer, and I have a hard time finding that. Timberland has some models, but I'm not a big fan of that brand.

maybe check out Sorel? Edit: IJ mentioned them. Great Boots, have the male caribou myself

Sorel is not the same company they were ~15 years ago. Used to be made in USA and Canada. I think they are now owned by Colombia sportswear and made in China. I have 0 experience with newer sorel boots but I know the old ones are bomb proof.

agree to this…

[davito]

that is true re Sorel but good old times are over in our globalized world, unfortunately. to be honest, all of of the nice Nike around are made in China (earlier in Korea or some still in Vietnam) too and none of the sneakerheads cry (me included ;-)). to each his/her own, I still think that the mother company of the brand Sorel keeps some kind of responsibility towards the customers when producing outside of Canada trying to hold on high production standards and be compliant with labor law etc. Of course the outcome is different than 20+ years ago, I fully respect that.
