  • The upper material does not 'heal' where the thread passes through. I applied generous amounts of snow seal to the uppers, paying particular attention to the stitching, to reduce the chance of water entering.
  • And best of all, Elizabeth is off for a trip to the Simpson Desert, including the Hay River. Now, that is a winner!!
Good to hear

I concur with everything you say. They're not a heavyweight boot like some of the Sorel models, but then again, they're priced very well and are certainly brilliant for our purpose. Elizabeth is great to deal with.
