About Sorel
Sorel is a North American footwear brand with cold weather as its territory. In 1962, Kaufman Rubber in Kitchener, Ontario introduced the Sorel winter boot: a rugged foundation with a rubber bottom and leather or fleece above it, made for work floors and fresh snow. After filing for bankruptcy in 2000, the brand was acquired by Columbia Sportswear in Portland and given a second start. The core remained unchanged: rubber-bottomed winter and work boots that keep your footing secure when temperatures drop. At the same time, the range expanded to include fashion-oriented boots, sneakers and other cold-weather models, so you can get through the city just as easily as you can the crunch of the outdoors. Looking for that mix of sturdy and stylish without the fuss? At Solezilla, you can see at a glance which styles and sizes are available and where it makes the most sense to pick up your pair.
