It's a sneaker + boot!! I'm so sad that I didn't get to wear these. They arrived and my travel plans changed. I didn't even try them on--no sense loving something I can't keep. (I live in the near tropics with all flatland, so no hiking opportunities.) They are waterproof and have a fleece lining. Regular price $175. These are a size 8. From the Sorel website: Hit the city in style with the Kinetic Breakthru Conquest. It's designed to keep you moving, with the all-day comfort of a sneaker, warm 100g insulation, and the waterproof protection of a boot. A bold rubber sole makes a statement, with a design inspired by all the ground you’ll cover in this ready-for-anything pair. UPPER: Waterproof suede upper with full grain leather mudguard and scratch rubber heel cap. Available with full grain leather or felt collar. Waterproof construction. Metal hardware down eyestay. Microfleece lining. Laces are not waterproof. INSULATION: 100g insulation. FOOTBED: Removable molded EVA with microfleece topcover. MIDSOLE: Lightweight molded Livelyfoam™. Midsole made with 10% Bloom, an algae-biomass-containing material. OUTSOLE: Molded rubber. HEEL HEIGHT: 1 1/2 in. PLATFORM HEIGHT: 1 1/2 in. SHAFT HEIGHT: 4 1/2 in. LACE LENGTH: 60 in.
