SOREL Age of Discovery Collection
SOREL expands the Horizon collection by carrying the rugged DNA of its iconic Caribou boot across three silhouettes built for changing terrain and seasons. The Callsign Horizon Low GTX brings the concept closest to a sneaker, pairing waterproof GORE-TEX® construction with lightweight Livelyfoam cushioning and a Vibram XS Trek Evo outsole for everyday traction. Moving higher, the Daystorm Horizon GTX combines full-grain leather, GORE-TEX® waterproofing, and a rugged Vibram® lug outsole for everything from wet city streets to the trail. At the top of the lineup, the Caribou Horizon GTX modernizes SOREL's winter icon with 200 grams of insulation, seam-sealed leather, a GORE-TEX® membrane, and Caribou-inspired Vibram traction for snow, slush, and cold-weather exploration.
