I'm planning on buying boots for the Boston Winter. Some people recommended me Danner boots. Other recommended me Sorel and L. L. Bean. Which brand and model do you think would be good?

Sorel, if you want to lay down in a snow bank for a few hours.

Do you recommend any model in particular?

The Caribou is the most burly booth they seem to offer, it looks like a good boot but I'd definitely recommend trying first, my Sorel boots are like moon boots haha. I only use them occasionally as they move around quite a bit on my feet unless I wear extra socks, which is part of the design but it's serious overkill lol

It's a great boot, but has a "sloppy" heal. Some people like their foot sliding around. Others don't.

I like my foot feeling secure, a length of velcro is great for this, just wrap it snuggly around the ankle of the boot after you tie the laces, it helps keep your foot in place.

I love my danner mountain 600 boots. They’ve served me well in the past 3 Minnesota winters
