Best foot forward

With busy lives, demanding careers and hectic social calendars, style-conscious women appreciate pieces that work as hard as they do. Enter Sorel, the seasonless, trend-savvy yet timeless footwear brand that espouses fashion with functionality. Founded in Canada in 1962, this heritage label combines expert craftsmanship and of-the-moment silhouettes to create the type of shoes that you can pack for a week in Aspen or a weekend in Paris, such is their versatility.

Instantly identifiable to those in the know by their signature polar-bear logo, the brand’s Fall 2019 highlights include the luxe Joan of Arctic Wedge II shearling-trimmed boot and the cool and casual Harlow Lace Cozy boot.

In need of a day-to-night boot? Look to the label’s elegant Joan of Arctic Wedge II shearling-trimmed boots, which promise real-world practicality without compromising on style. With their elongated shape and discreetly wedged heel, they add a sophisticated edge for boardroom-to-bar versatility. Made from panels of waterproof leather and suede, with a fluffy shearling trim, and a serrated sole for tackling icy streets, they will keep you protected from the elements, while gathering the envy of onlookers. Available in black or brown, wear them with midi skirts, tights and a fine-knit polo-neck for an elegant office look, then wear with straight-leg jeans and a silk blouse for sophisticated evening style.
