SNOW MONSTER Men's Boot vs Sorel 1964 Pac Nylon Boot

The Sorel 1964 Pac Nylon is the better everyday winter boot: lighter, shorter, easier to walk in, and backed by decades of owner feedback. The SNOW MONSTER is a specialist extreme-cold boot with a removable multi-layer liner and a taller, stiffer build, so it wins only when temperatures drop far below freezing or you are snowshoeing. Reviewers rate the SNOW MONSTER very highly, but its 6.29 lb pair and 11.75-inch shaft make it clumsy for city wear.

  • Choose the SNOW MONSTER if you face deep cold, deep snow or snowshoe trips and want a removable liner you can dry out.
  • Choose the Sorel 1964 Pac Nylon if you want one waterproof insulated boot for commuting, shoveling and general winter wear.
