Our take on the Sorel Women's Explorer Next Carnival Boots

The Sorel Explorer Next Carnival is a women's ankle boot built for cold, wet city days: waterproof bootie construction, 100g insulation, a microfleece lining and faux-shearling collar, with a suede upper and lace-up closure. The molded EVA midsole and ground-contact EVA and rubber outsole keep it light and flat underfoot. It is a light-snow and casual boot, not a deep-winter or hiking boot. Its latest best price stands at $159 at Distritech as of November 3.

Questions and answers

Is the Explorer Next Carnival fully waterproof?: Yes. It uses a waterproof bootie construction, so water does not pass through the lining. The suede upper still needs care in salt and heavy wet snow.
How cold can I wear these boots?: They have 100g insulation and a microfleece lining, which suits cold, wet days and light snow. For deep cold or long periods outdoors, a boot with more insulation is a better fit.
How does it compare with Sorel's heavier winter boots?: It is lighter and lower than Sorel's Caribou-style boots, with less insulation and an ankle shaft. That makes it better for commuting and casual wear, worse for deep snow and extreme cold.
Do they run true to size?: Sorel boots generally fit close to standard women's sizing, and the lace-up closure lets you adjust the fit. If you plan to wear thick socks, consider a half size up.
What is in the box?: The box contains the pair of boots. Socks and care products are not included.
When is the best time to buy them?: Winter boots usually see the deepest discounts at the end of the season and during early fall promotions. The latest best price is $159 at Distritech as of November 3.
What do buyers say about the Sorel Women's Explorer Next Carnival Boots?: Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 83 ratings.
