Are all snow boots slip-resistant?
Unfortunately, not all snow boots are slip-resistant. However, all of Sorel’s snow boots are, including those featured in our collection of snow boots for women. Your safety and comfort are our priority.
Since 1962, Sorel has been designing and manufacturing exceptional winter footwear. With our origins in Canada – known for its harsh winter conditions – we have gained incredible knowledge, expertise and experience in creating function-first snow boots. For over six decades, we have offered an unwavering dedication to high-quality, durable winter footwear.
Sorel knows snow and winter weather. We understand that the soles of winter footwear should have unbeatable protection against icy surfaces. Where there is snow, there is ice. Our range of snow boots all feature a different level of grip suitable for different locations and winter activities. Our different types of snow boots also provide warmth, waterproof protection and style.
Sorel’s slip-resistant designs
Many models feature our rubber herringbone outsole design. This outsole provides ample traction, stability and versatility. It features diagonal lines that produce a wavy effect that delivers superb grip on slippery surfaces. The angles of the rubber allow for the tread to easily latch onto the ground. The interwoven pattern supports walking on uneven terrain. It also helps minimise the risk of slipping. Herringbone outsole designs are a great choice for a variety of winter activities, such as hiking and other snowy adventures.
Our other styles feature our Sorel aero-trac non-loading outsole. This outsole contains small, dot-shaped, low-profile lugs (a rubber sole indented for traction). Their unique design ensures that snow and ice are unlikely to gather. These outsoles are ideal for slick, ice-covered ground.
Other options include our EVERTREADTM outsole or multi-directional lug outsole. The EVERTREADTM outsole is high-traction rubber specially designed for our most exceptional grip on multi-terrain surfaces. For enhanced traction, opt for our multi-directional lug outsoles. These purposely engineered treads ensure excellent stability on uneven terrain.
Warmth
The warmth of women’s snow boots must also be considered when selecting appropriate winter footwear. Sorel offers premium insulation to keep the cold out and the heat in.
Some of our styles include 100g – 300g built-in insulation. 100g is perfect for urban areas and short trips between your car and work or home. 200g – 300g are suitable for cooler temperatures and long periods of time spent outside.
We also offer removable 6mm – 9mm thick felt liners. You can buy these washable liners separately to customise the warmth of your footwear.
Waterproof protection
To ensure feet stay warm, they must stay dry. Wet weather conditions are all but guaranteed during winter. Sorel offers premium waterproof protection in our collection of snow boots.
We use a range of materials in our women’s snow boots to make the uppers. We use both natural and synthetic waterproof options. Choose from a natural material like leather or suede or a synthetic one like nylon or canvas. The height of our women’s snow boots also varies. We offer ankle-height, mid-height and tall uppers.
In addition to superb grip, our outsoles also provide premium water resistance. Some models use seam-sealed, moulded rubber outsoles. Other types use handcrafted, vulcanised, waterproof rubber outsoles – the same material as some dry suits.
Style
Alongside slip-resistant protection, waterproofing and warmth, we also provide style. Sorel's expert craftsmanship allows for trendy designs to coexist with functionality. After considering the benefits of snow boots and ensuring you select the right size of snow boots, check out our trendy colours of snow boots. There is a style and colour for everyone’s winter wardrobe.
Choosing snow boots can be challenging. Take comfort in knowing that we understand that everyone's needs for footwear differ. We ensure our winter footwear reflects our commitment to high-quality protection. Your comfort is essential, as well as stability and safety on slippery surfaces. Each pair designed by Sorel provides confidence with every step. The next time you don a pair of our snow boots, you can embrace the winter weather in style and comfort.
