Design
I was pleasantly surprised to see that the SOREL Emelie II Chelsea Bootie comes on and off like a dream due to the wide opening, stretch panels on the upper and roomy fit. You don't even need to use your hands. How good is that?
This boot's relaxed, versatile style combined with excellent traction and a waterproof nature means using these boots for everyday activities is easy. A stylish look and easy to put on fit means whether you're rushing out to collect the children from school, walking the dog or just headed to make snowmen, you'll be off in an instant.
These SOREL Chelsea boots are casual boots for everyday use. The Emelie II is more than adequately equipped for security while you walk. With the Emelie II, you'll find a grippy rubber outsole that allows for plenty of protection on long walks and long days on your feet.
Wearers will also get extra protection from the SOREL signature CATE 1/4" block heel and 1/2" platform. In addition, the molded rubber outsole provides an all-day wear design, making it easier to transition from daywear to nightwear.
Comfort
Despite looking so fashionable, SOREL never sacrifices comfort in their Emelie II Chelsea Bootie. As soon as they land at your doorstep, you can easily slip on the Emelie II and head off on an adventure.
You see, you've got nothing to worry about with the immediate comfort these chelsea boots deliver.
One or two other reviewers seemed to find the ankle a little stiff at first, but that's a minority. The excellent fit also appears roomy enough to fit most feet exceptionally comfortably.
Utilizing a die-cut memory EVA footbed also means all-day adventures are comfortable due to the cushioning and comfort the material provides. What's more, the molded EVA rubber midsole with a light texture helps to provide extra cushioning without adding unnecessary weight.
Maybe you love rain or snow, but maybe, like most, you don't. That's where the Emelie II excels with its waterproof nature. Boasting water-resistance leather, seam-sealed construction and a rubber outsole means water and snow stay on the outside in most conditions, and you stay comfortable.
Materials
SOREL is not known for skimping on their materials, and perhaps this shows in their slightly higher prices. However, what you get with SOREL is always quality, and the Emelie II Chelsea Bootie is no different.
Naturally long-lasting and top quality materials like full-grain leather, a grippy rubber outsole and luxury EVA cushioning provides more than enough comfort and durability for all-day, continuous wear.
Durability
With a new design to the Emelie Chelsea bootie, it's reassuring to find it more durable and robust than ever. This unique and improved durability most likely results from using quality materials, a superb design and clever construction. Using long-lasting materials like rubber or full-grain leather allows for extra durability.
The seam-sealed construction also goes a long way in letting your Chelsea boots last. Although you may find these fall and winter boots slightly on the expensive side, the quality of materials and construction alone makes them well worth it.
