Winter-warmer boots to treat your feet
Cult footwear label Sorel is the go-to brand for boots that guarantee style and substance, not to mention warmth and comfort
Sorel Explorer Joan boots are the sartorial equivalent of a warm hug. So whether you’re hitting the shops in London, seeing the sites in Paris or taking a stroll through Central Park on a crisp December day, this sporty but versatile boot will keep you as comfy and snug as you are chic and stylish. The magic lies in its cloud-like, cushioned insole that moulds to your foot for what feels like a bespoke fit. Of course, there is also its indulgent micro-fleece lining and shearling ankle cuff that will envelop you in warmth. Plus, the Explorer Joan’s innovative design ensures your feet stay completely dry, thanks to an ultra-practical waterproof leather and suede finish – so you can wear them in even the most unpredictable of weather conditions.
Available in a slate gray, sophisticated navy and a timeless tan, there are myriad options that will complement your current closet. Pair them with a mini skirt, neat turtleneck and a blazer for 9-to-5 office elegance with an edge, then swap in a hoodie and a classic trench coat for a look that exudes off-duty luxe. The boots’ chic sportif design also means they are the perfect shoe to slip on with an effortlessly cool skirt and a ribbed knit, as you dash out for a leisurely lunch with friends.
Sorel’s boots blur the boundary between fashion and functionality, making them a no-brainer for busy women who crave design originality but appreciate practical footwear that helps them to navigate hectic work and social diaries. The Torino II ankle boots do exactly this, as they seamlessly embrace style and substance with a warm fleece lining, fuzzy faux-fur cuff, supple suede outer (that is waterproof, naturally) and ice-ready serrated soles. And, with their super-versatile silhouette, you can wear them with everything from ski gear to skinny jeans and midi skirts or this season’s must-have knit dresses.
Don’t let your sartorial standards slip when you’re battling rain, hail, sleet and snow – Sorel’s chic repertoire never sacrifices on style.
