SOREL Women’s Caribou Boot (Retail $200)
The best dog boots for dog walking (IMHO)
First, I’m going to start with the ones I DID NOT LIKE.
Sorels are probably the most popular brand of winter boots in Canada. I have owned two pairs and both pairs have FAILED me as dog walking boots.
The first pair I purchased was your standard Women’s Caribou Boot (retail $200)
REASONS WHY I STOPPED WEARING THESE BOOTS:
Hard to take on and off (as a dog walker I take my boots on and off every time I pick up and drop off a dog)
Heavy
Stiff heel on the boot gave me blisters
Did not keep my feet warm
The second pair I purchased were the Sorel Tivoli II Blanket Boot (retail $220). I bought them at Nordstrom Rack in the US for half price.
SOREL Women’s Tivoli II Blanket Boot
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THESE BOOTS:
· Easy to slip on and off
· Good for wide feet
· Did not cause blisters
· Lightweight
REASONS WHY I STOPPED WEARING THESE BOOTS:
· Not waterproof as advertised – leaving with me wet cold feet
· The insole wore away quickly and had to be replaced
FINALLY….WHAT I’M WEARING THIS SEASON
CROCS Allcast II Nubuck Winter Boots (retail $120)
For the longest time Crocs were like my green eggs and ham: I would not wear the atrocious clogs, I would not wear the ugly sandals, and I would never wear their attempt at dress shoes. Boots, however, Boots make sense. I tried on a pair of their Allcast II Nubuck Winter Boots at DSW and was sold. They retail for $120, but are on sale at DSW for $59.98.
REASONS I LOVE THIS BOOT:
· Super Comfortable (you feel like you are wearing Croc’s trademark clogs)
· Easy to get on and off
· Waterproof
· Lightweight
· Warm
· Price point
**NOTE: ORDER at least 1 size bigger – They Fit SMALL
They have 23 left on the DSW website, so order them NOW! They will deliver for free if you sign up for their free membership club.
