In 1908, William H. Kaufman, Inc. began manufacturing footwear. They wanted their footwear to be comfortable as well as durable while working in the cold weather. In the 1960's, they combined leather uppers, rubber bottoms and removable felt liners so the winter boots would keep your feet warm and dry. In 2000, Sorel became a division of the Columbia Sportswear Company. Sorel now offers an extensive range of comfortable and well-designed outerwear and apparel. Their footwear and apparel will help make your winter activities enjoyable by supplying quality products that are warm, dry, and comfortable.
