I cannot tell you how long I’ve wanted a pair of the iconic SOREL Joan of Arctic boots! Especially after last year’s polar vortex – I prefer not to go another winter without them.

With some of you packing up for college and taking all of your essentials through the holiday, this is a great transitional boot from fall to winter. It transforms from a rain boot to full on winter warrior boot with an inner layer that actually snaps in (or out) depending on the weather and how insulated you’d like them to be. With the padding in, it’s super warm and the boot itself is completely waterproof with an outsole of vulcanized rubber that’s bound to the upper portion of the boot, which is comprised of waterproof suede leather; so come rain, sleet or full on snowstorm, they have you covered.

Since I’m all about layering and oversized everything, my SORELstyle is to go casual cool with a big jacket and a pair of skinny jeans (so I have some shape to me). Just add a scarf and I’m ready for whatever extreme temperatures that are coming our way.
