Known forBootsFootwear
Sorel builds insulated winter and rain footwear, beginning with the Kaufman Rubber Company's 1962 rubber-and-leather Canadian work boot. Columbia Sportswear acquired the Sorel trademark for roughly $8 million in September 2000, after prior owner William H. Kaufman Inc. went through bankruptcy, and runs the label from Portland, Oregon. Core styles include the Caribou, Joan of Arctic, Kinetic sneakers and Out N About rain boots, sold through a women's-led, style-driven positioning. Sorel net sales fell 29 percent to $238 million in 2024, and Columbia is rebuilding the brand's product and marketing.
