Alright, folks, let’s talk about these boots I’ve been trying out. You know, the ones Meghan Markle was spotted wearing – the SOREL Joan of Arctic boots. I saw them and thought, “Hey, if they’re good enough for a Duchess, maybe they’re good enough for me!” Plus, winter’s coming, and my old boots were, well, old.
Getting Started
First thing I did was look them up. I wanted to see what the deal was with these boots. Turns out, they’re not just about the looks. They’re made with this waterproof suede material, and they have this seam-sealed waterproof design, which sounded pretty impressive. I mean, who wants wet feet in winter, right?
Checking Them Out
So, I got a pair. I started by just trying them on. They felt pretty solid, not too heavy, but definitely sturdy. I walked around the house in them, up and down the stairs, just to get a feel. They were comfortable, I’ll give them that. The real test, though, was outside.
The Real Test
- Step One: The Walk Test. I took them out for a spin around the neighborhood. It was a bit chilly, but not freezing yet. My feet stayed warm, which was a good start.
- Step Two: The Puddle Test. I found a few puddles and, yep, I walked right through them. No water got in, so that was a win for the waterproof claim.
- Step Three: The All-Day Test. I wore them for a whole day, doing my usual stuff – errands, a bit of walking, nothing too crazy. By the end of the day, my feet were still feeling good. No blisters, no discomfort.
The Verdict
After wearing these SOREL boots for a while, I get the hype. They’re definitely well-made. They keep your feet dry and warm, which is exactly what I need in winter boots. Plus, they don’t look half bad. I guess Meghan Markle knows her boots! I’m pretty happy with them, and I think they’re going to be my go-to boots this winter. If you’re looking for something that’s both functional and a bit stylish, these might just be what you need. Stay warm out there, everyone!
