Is the Out N About IV Classic actually waterproof?

Yes. It uses a waterproof bootie construction inside a vulcanized rubber shell, so rain, puddles and slush stay out as long as the seals hold. Some owners report split seals letting water in over time.

How does it compare with the Out N About III?

The IV keeps the same formula: leather and suede upper, waterproof bootie, rubber shell and STEADYSOLE footbed. Treat it as a styling refresh rather than a big change in comfort or durability.

Is it warm enough for winter?

No. It is a rain boot with a textile lining, and buyers say it is not warm. Pair it with warm socks or choose an insulated winter boot for freezing days.

How does the sizing run?

Sorel boots generally run true to size, and this lace-up style has a roomy toe box. If you wear thick socks or have wide feet, consider going up half a size.

What is the shaft height?

The shaft is about 5 inches, which covers the ankle. The heel and platform are about a quarter inch each.

Can I wear it all day?

The molded PU footbed is cushioned, but many buyers find the insole flat and the boot heavy for long days. It suits commutes and errands better than all-day standing.
