About the brand ❤️
Sorel is a footwear brand famous for its rugged winter boots and cold-weather designs. Founded in 1962 by Kaufman Rubber Company in Kitchener, Ontario, its initial strength lay in durable “winter sport / work” boots combining weather-proof rubber bottoms with leather uppers, known for warmth and practicality. After its original company (Kaufman Footwear) went bankrupt in 2000, Columbia Sportswear acquired the Sorel brand. Under Columbia, Sorel expanded its product range to include fashion footwear, sneakers, sandals and all-season boots, blending style with function. Headquartered now in Portland, Oregon, Sorel positions itself as a “function-first fashion” brand: footwear that performs in tough conditions yet works for everyday life. The brand has evolved into a female-led design direction, with growing emphasis on fashion aesthetics alongside its heritage of cold-weather durability.
