With the chill of winter very much in the air, Ellis Brigham has slashed prices on selected Sorel boots by a whopping 50% in a rare sale. The UK mountain sports expert and official Team GB winter footwear supplier is offering discounts on styles designed for cold and wet conditions that are also suitable for everyday wear.
Sorel boots have a reputation for delivering warmth, waterproof protection and comfort right from the first wear, making them a favoured pick for icy pavements, muddy strolls and lengthy winter days without the usual breaking-in period. First on the list are the Whitney II Plus Lace Boots, reduced to £62.50 from £125 on the website, and they’re designed for cold, wet city days.
They’re lightweight yet well-insulated, featuring 200g of synthetic insulation and a soft microfleece lining to keep feet cosy without feeling cumbersome. The seam-sealed, waterproof design also works to keep dampness at bay, making them suitable for winter conditions while maintaining a smart appearance for daily use.

Another choice is the, Explorer II Joan boots, now priced at £72.50, down from £144.99 – a total saving of 50%. Currently available in UK sizes 4 and 5, with sizes 6 and 7 sold out, these come in two colours: Velvet Tan and Black. They’re touted as a lighter, more flexible winter option that still provides reliable warmth and waterproof protection.
They boast a waterproof construction – suede and polyurethane leather to help keep feet dry in rain or snow – along with an insulated lining to trap heat during colder days. Their sleek design also makes them easy to wear on a daily basis, rather than feeling like strictly outdoor boots, reports Wales Online .

Another reviewer shared: “I’ve worn these everywhere and they were comfortable without any breaking in time. I wear them regularly for walks around my neighbourhood and walk for miles in NYC and DC. Even when walking in snow and ice my feet stayed warm and dry.”
However, a few customers had minor reservations, with one noting: “These boots look great and are super warm and comfortable. They fit true to size. The only reason I rated them 4 stars instead of 5 stars is that they could use more arch support.”
One individual also shared their thoughts on the Whitney II boots , stating: “Very comfortable boots, stylish and practical. Feet a little cold in minus degrees, size up for wearing thick socks.”
On the whole, the feedback was positive, as one satisfied customer penned: “Warm and comfortable, I wore them to work and helped me not slip in the icy parking lot. I haven’t worn them in the snow yet.”
