Gear up.

It’s that time of year when temps drop and sweaters and jackets start calling your name from the back of the closet. And while topcoats and fair isle knits will keep you warm and looking stylish this winter, your feet may require an upgrade. This season, more than ever, we are going to be asking a lot of our footwear—good looks, quality, and performance all at once. And that is exactly what footwear imprint SOREL delivers with this quartet of boot styles.

Caribou™ Street Boot

$210, sorel.com

Indecisive much? Have we got the shoe for you. A city slicker update to a classic hiker, these lace-up boots look just as good on a mountain trail as they do at an urban art gallery (paired with selvage jeans and a plaid shirt-jacket). Yes, they’re stylish as all get out, but thanks to the molded rubber outsole, waterproof nubuck leather uppers, reinforced laces, and seam-sealed construction, they’re also made to withstand anything winter throws at you. And if 2020 is any indicator, you best be prepared for the worst.

Caribou™ Storm Sneaker Mid Boot

BUY
$165, sorel.com

Oh hey there, cool guy. What’s that? A boot’s too formal for you? You came of age in the athleisure era of power dressing? Well, fret not, we’ve got a sleek, sneaker-like high-top that will look great with some slim jeans, a cashmere crewneck, and a classic wool coat. Or, yes, sweats and a hoodie.

Mac Hill™ Mid LTR Boot

BUY
$175, sorel.com

The Mac Hill marries the stylish, low-key sneaker look of the Caribou with the more rugged feel of classic SOREL styles. Which means it’s as versatile as you need it to be, while also looking damn good. Wear this one with some black jeans and a button-up for an understated everyday look, or go with workwear-inspired pants and a hoodie for something a bit more on trend. The one thing you don’t have to think about, however, is getting wet: These bad boys come with all the weather-resistant features the brand is famous for.

Kezar™ Moc Boot

BUY
$195, sorel.com

The Kezar is the perfect boot for tough weather conditions. The big treads will help you stay mobile in rain, sleet, or snow, while the interior is made from comfort-minded molded, spongy, springy EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate). Wear them with track pants for a sporty look or with khakis for a business casual vibe—you know, for when you need to spiff it up a bit when connecting with colleagues over video chat.
