I love pac boots...There is nothing like hanging out on the ice(fishing) with a solid pair of sorels on...The problem is that I am having a hard time finding liners for my old stand by boots. If anyone know of where to get some let me know. Thanks. Sorry, didn't mean to highjack.

I have a hard time walking on a sloped terrain with my pac boots due to lack of support. Sometimes I'll pack in my pac boots and then change them before I get into my stand.

Thanks for the replies, that is what I was thinking of doing. I can hike fine in my 200 gram thinsulate pacs but they just arent warm enough for below 20, so I'm thinking of going to the pacs for extreme cold weather and put them on at stand.

I use pac boots. I have for years. Even when I was a guide, going after mountain goats in steep, rugged terrain, I used pac boots. They are super comfortable, nearly impervious to water, and if they do get wet, it is very easy to pull the liners and dry things out. Currently I use Kenetrek 10" Grizzlies, but used to use Sorel Rangers. Unfortunately Sorel doesn't make the Rangers anymore.

One thing I've noticed, however, is that boots today just don't last as many seasons as boots did 15 years ago. I think it's because even those "made in USA" are actually only assembled in the US...the componants are all Chinese :thumbs_do

Pac boots are big and heavy and kind of hard to walk in, but they can't be beat as far as warmth goes. They keep your feet warm when its extremely cold.

i have twisted my ankle three times in the past and pac boots just kills it. one day in those and i hobble for a week. i go with the best hunting boot i can buy and use artic bootys over them in the stand. sometimes i even wear light boots and slip them off and just put on the bootys with a hot pack in them, and i can atest, i have spent all day never thinking about my feet in dam cold weather. I smash them into my hunting bag and slip them on when i think the cost is clear. good luck with your choice

Sorel has been bought/sold several times. I think Columbia owns them now. IMO they are a shadow of their former selves; everything they make is el-cheapo made in China crap now. The only Sorel stuff I can find anymore is just the boots; none of the local stores carry replacement liners anymore.

The only liners I've been able to find to fit my old Sorels are made by Baffin. They work great, fit perfectly.

try winterfootwear.com (I'd post a URL for you, but the forum won't let me until I have 5 posts.. trying to cut down on SPAM I suppose).

Baffin also makes really nice new Pac boots if you're interested.
