Men's Winter Boots from the Canadian company SOREL have really registered on my radar. SOREL are known for their highly functional boots, quality construction and a little pinch of attitude. Whether its hill walking, après-ski on your winter holidays or just day-to-day tasks, you are sure to find just what you are looking for. Put simply, these are boots for men, no messing! And if they are good enough for David Beckham, well...
I first picked up a pair of size 10's, thinking I would have to 'go large' for my size 10 feet, however, they are what you call 'true to size'. Their first outing, after having stored them away for a while to 'keep them clean', was on a skiing trip in Austria where they performed flawlessly. Camouflage Jackets for outdoor activities The Men's Winter Boots I had were rated to -15 degrees Celsius. They kept my feet warm and dry in the crisp snow without resorting to extra socks and were equally at home on the piste as well as about town après-ski. Once back in Ireland, I found them to be great companions when out walking the dog either in fields of long grass or muddy woodland walks. Fully waterproof Nubuck leather, rugged construction and moulded EVA footbeds and outsoles make for a classy boot.
Compare this to your standard wellington boot. How many of us have gone out for a walk only to find the foot slips in the boot, the feet get cold due to no insulation and the backs are too high and so rub off the back of your knees? Not to mention the weight. Imagine a whole extra kilogram to lug around on each foot. This is where the new Autumn Winter 2016 collection of Men's Winter Boots from SOREL comes to the fore.
Take for example the Cheyanne, Paxson and Ankenny boots. Choose your style and you will be charmed by the boots good looks. The Cheyanne in Grey with yellow lace detailing has classic design elements with an edgy style. The Paxson in Buff is modelled on a hiking boot. The Ankenny in Black has attitude written all over it. These boots have one thing in common. They combine waterproof Nubuck leather with rubber and rugged nylon to block out the elements resulting in comfort, styling and great fit. Go play on the slopes, walk the dog, splash in the sea or go shopping. You won't be disappointed.
