Waterproof Suede Upper

Constructed using a waterproof suede upper, the Sorel Explorer 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 full-grain 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.

The 100g insulation is excellent at trapping in escaping heat to ensure your feet remain warm in the coldest of climates and 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. EVA is extremely firm, which will absorb shocks instantly and effectively, preventing them from causing any damage to the sole of the foot. 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, this will instantly absorb shocks from the uneven surface below, protecting the soles 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 Walking Boots features a high-grade moulded rubber. Ensuring multi-directional grip, the outsole ensures 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.
