Being a tomboy at heart, means I crave trekking outdoors as often as I can. Camping, hiking, trail running. This usually surprises most ex-boyfriends of mine (they scoff once they peek at my shoe closet of Manolos and Pradas), and hey, I get it. Oxymorons are sometimes hard to understand -- they can get you written off pretty quickly. Until they realize I've been to more National Parks than they have, I can likely out ski them on a mountain and hey, on a good day, maybe outrun them, too.

Modesty aside, I think we all can relate to this feeling in some sense or another. It's a dynamic duality -- a pendulum swing between two seemingly opposite sides of ourselves and man, it feels good when someone just gets that about you. Or in this case, a boot that just fits the bill between city and adventure.

Now that I'm gearing up for my second winter here in New York, I love this in between season, where the crisp air begs for oversized coats, chunky scarves and long walks through Central Park. I've been a big fan of SOREL boots for a long time -- since high school probably -- and having grown up in Northern Nevada, there was always plenty of opportunity to put them to the test, be it in snow, rain or just a little off-trail hike. And now that I find myself here in New York, I love their fashion forward take on city meets adventure boots -- perfect for trekking up and down 5th Avenue for last minute Christmas shopping, which you can then follow with a walk over to Bethesda Terrace (hopefully to meet someone cute). 😉

I'm all about a great hybrid and this boot strikes that perfect je ne sais quoi  "model off duty" effortless chic with a little tomboy spunk. And I love it.

Have you guys been living in your SORELs this winter? Would love to hear what pairs are your favorites!
