Après Ski Boots
The best part of skiing is arguably the après ski. The term, first coined in France in the 1950s, literally translates to after (après) skiing (ski). The concept involves activities and entertainment in the afternoon – après-ski. Typically, this comprises visiting a slopeside bar or restaurant for a warming cocktail and a hearty meal. It is not uncommon in many prominent destinations to attend great resort parties, offering the chance for dancing and live music after you’ve carved the slopes up.
Before ascending any alpine peaks on your trip, you will need to choose après ski footwear to traverse from the hills to the party in style and comfort. Sorel showcases the best options available for the whole family. We feature chic women’s après-ski boots, men’s snow boots and children’s snow boots. Our entire range of snow boots ensures that your feet stay warm and dry. Our dedication to quality across all our types of winter boots stems from over 60 years of expertise and experience. Whether you are hitting the slopes in Val d’Isère or hoping to bring the style from the chalets to the city, we have the perfect pair of après ski boots. Browse Sorel’s extensive collection of snow boots that show our unwavering commitment to protection and style.
Protection
As a brand specialising in winter, Sorel understands the need to ensure your feet stay warm and dry. Our best boots for snow will help you negotiate the deep snow on your hike through the valleys to the nearest bar for après ski beers. Equally, our selection of city winter boots for your day-to-day winter wardrobe offers the same level of protection. Sorel’s cold-weather boots are waterproof, insulated and feature plenty of grip on slippery surfaces.
Designed with winter and snow in mind, our collection will allow you to rest assured that your feet are protected regardless of weather. Depending on the snow you may encounter, Sorel has a winter boot for you. We have many options for heavy snow, including uppers with more height. For lighter snow, we offer shorter uppers and more lightweight outsoles. For wet, slushy snow, we have many options that feature our handcrafted waterproof vulcanised rubber.
Sorel’s winter footwear collection offers an abundance of insulation. Your choice depends on the temperatures you may encounter on your travels – the lower the temperature, the more insulation you will require. We also have removable liners for additional warmth that will help you face the elements for longer.
When you choose winter boots, select a model with excellent grip. This will allow you to hike through the hills with ease. All of Sorel’s winter collections include excellent outsole tread, so you can sashay in style without succumbing to a slip.
