A top-seller from Sorel, combining the lightweight fit of a sneaker with unparalleled weather protection. This edition is cosier than ever, with sporty design updates, max EVA cushioning underfoot, and 100g of insulation for fending off snowstorms. The waterproof suede and leather upper is grounded by a grippy rubber sole that delivers the traction you need for slick city streets.

Waterproof Suede Upper

Constructed using a waterproof suede upper, the Sorel Explorer II Walking Boots are an ideal partner for long winter walks. Designed to keep you warm and dry, the Explorer Boots feature a tough suede upper with PU leather that blocks out moisture to ensure your feet remain dry in all conditions. The waterproof suede works to ensure you are ready for whatever is thrown your way as you explore the unbeaten path. As well as this, the membrane is highly breathable meaning, whilst keeping you dry, it also works to increase ventilation so you can remain cool, dry and comfortable at all times. Furthermore, the Explorer II features a pull tab to assist in taking the boots on and off. A 100g insulation lining helps to keep you toasty and warm on cold weather days. The 100g insulation is excellent at trapping escaping heat to ensure your feet remain warm in the coldest of climates while the felt tongue and vamp enhance warmth and comfort. Completing the upper is a traditional lacing system to help lock your feet down.

EVA Midsole

A full-length platform of moulded EVA resides in the midsole for lightweight, responsive cushioning. Generous, soft and durable, it spares your joints as you strike down on hard, unforgiving surfaces. Exceptionally lightweight, the EVA ensures long-lasting cushioning to keep you comfortable on long-distance days. Towards the top, the EVA is extremely spongey and cushioned, which will bring lasting comfort that will reduce the stress placed on joints like the knees and ankles. Towards the bottom, the EVA is firmer, and this will instantly absorb shocks from the uneven surface below, protecting the sole of the feet from damage. The firm sides on the midsole will also provide protection to the foot and to the boot in general, stopping superficial damage from occurring.

Rubber Outsole

Working to provide traction and grip, the outsole of the Sorel Explorer II Walking Boots features a high-grade moulded rubber. For multi-directional grip, the outsole provides traction on a variety of terrains ensuring confident footing whether you're hiking or out for a leisurely stroll in the local park. The durable rubber provides a strong grip on the most challenging terrain; it works to protect itself from damage, and protect users from losing control and slipping. The durable nature of the rubber protects the boot from wear and tear providing you with a long-lasting performance walking boot. The stable rubber outsole is lightweight and cushioned to ensure added comfort for long winter days plus, it features lugs which increase traction underfoot. The multi-direction lugs are designed to offer traction on the most uneven surfaces and in the most unpredictable weather conditions so you step out with assured footing for a confident walk.
