The Women s Sorel Joan of Arctic Knit Boot is a beautiful bit of kit The waterproof suede leather upper contrasts perfectly with the soft knitted cuff & waterproof rubber bootie The inner boot is removable for easy drying/cleaning & made from 6mm thick warm recycled felt The outer boot has sealed seams to half way up the leather so are more than capable of tackling wet/slushy spring snow The quality of the Sorel Joan of Arctic boots is fantastic the leather is supple & the rubber has a great finish but my favourite bit is the soft knitted cuff which is a pleasure to hold every time I pull the boots on
