Which is better for walking in snow and slush?

The Sorel Torino V Tall WP. Its OutDry waterproof suede and rugged rubber outsole are made for wet, icy ground. The Moon Boot is warmer-looking but its foam sole grips poorly on ice.

Which keeps feet warmer?

The Sorel has 200 g insulation and a microfleece lining, so it holds warmth on long cold walks. The Moon Boot's foam shell is warm too, but it traps sweat on milder days.

The Sorel's suede and rubber build holds up to daily winter wear if you protect the suede. The Moon Boot's foam shell can crack and scuff with heavy use.

Is the Moon Boot worth stepping up to?

Only if you want the look. It is a fashion boot for short trips in cold, dry weather. For real winter protection the Sorel is the more capable boot.

Do the Sorel boots fit true to size?

They run in a C width and fit close to standard US sizing. Size up if you wear thick socks. The Moon Boot fits large and loose by design.

Can I wear either for apres-ski?

Both suit apres-ski. The Sorel is the better walker to and from the lodge; the Moon Boot is the more recognizable style for the bar.

Moon Boot Women's Snow Boots vs Sorel Torino V Tall WP Women's Snow Boots

The Sorel Torino V Tall WP is the better winter boot for most shoppers. It has a waterproof suede and OutDry build, 200 g insulation, a fleece and faux-fur lining, and a molded rubber outsole for wet and icy ground. The Moon Boot is a style piece: its sculpted foam shell is warm and easy to pull on, but it is bulky, less breathable and gives less grip on ice. Owners of the Moon Boot praise the look and warmth; Sorel reviewers rate the Torino highly for comfort and dry feet.

Choose the Moon Boot if you want the iconic padded look, a slip-on boot for cold dry days, and a statement piece for apres-ski or city wear.
Choose the Sorel Torino V Tall WP if you walk in slush, snow and ice and want proven waterproofing, insulation and real outsole traction.
