  • Ah yes, this review is another one taking me back in time. I got to Canada in the summer of 2007 and had pretty vague ideas of what winter here would really be like. In my mind, I assumed I needed some serious boots for snow. (In L.A., we only ever seen news footage of cities in snow when the snow is really brutal. Hence, I didn't quite understand that snow isn't an all or nothing thing, that in Toronto you often got just a few centimeters that melted away--with no real need for serious boots.) Doing research, I decided on Sorels. This is back before Sorel offered a lot more variety in their boots and were trying to become trendy--basically there were just a few models to choose from. They were no longer made in Canada (Vietnam) but might still have been privately held. (I suspect they are owned by somebody else now. This has happened with countless apparel companies--greedy holding company buys a small brand and starts pumping out everything they can with the brand on it while the quality goes down). I honestly can't remember why I settled on Getoutside as the place to go for these boots although I know I researched it online. They had 'em, for a fair price, probably in my size and the store was near work. I bought them on a weeknight and the experience was fine, neither really good or bad; I assume this place gets crazy busy on weekends. If I had it go do over again, I'd go to a place specializing in outdoor gear. Since Getoutside sells everything, I doubt their staff can be experts in anything. As for the boots? I wear them a couple of times a year, one of them often hurts and at this rate, they will be fully broken in long after I'm dead. Anyone wear size ten? I suspect I would not return to Getoutside but only because the shoes they carry are not really what I'm looking for; I am happy to pay more to deal with some old sales guy that has been heeling people for years and truly knows footwear. But hey, if I was young and fashionable, this still seems like one of the go to stores in the city for shoes.
