Why We Love This Deal
Sorel boots, whether the brand's duck boots or snow boots, are widely acclaimed for their waterproofing and hardcore exteriors. But there's a slightly more stylish side to Sorel, and it doesn't skimp on performance. If you don’t believe it, it's worth taking a look at this Sorel sneaker that Nordstrom Rack is selling at half off.
The Sorel Metro II Waterproof Sneaker is now on sale for only $60 at the Rack. Though the shoe has two available colorways, the all-white sneaker is absolutely eye-catching, and it'll likely be the best pick for those who need something that can stand up to winter conditions that's also stylish enough for a business casual office.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes Available: From 7 to 15
- Color Options: White and tan
- Key Materials: Leather upper, textile lining, EVA insole, rubber sole
- Waterproof?: Yes
- Best Use Case: Snowy or rainy-day commutes to the office
This sneaker has a light and flexible leather upper and a lightly cushioned interior, and there’s a removable insert to provide even more comfort to each step. The shoe’s soft suede texture and monochromatic appearance made it contrast heavily with the “rugged” nature of the typical waterproof boot.
Ultimately, we like to think of this as a wet-weather office-appropriate sneaker, though you’ll make it through other events with it just fine as well. The extra texturing on the outsole alone makes it a step above the rest when it comes to this sneaker shape.

What Shoppers Are Saying
There hasn't been much feedback left by shoppers at Nordstrom Rack, but over at REI, where the shoes are still $90 (and selling out fast), there was quite a bit of buzz. Out of REI’s shoppers said, “Not only were these waterproof and functional, but they were comfortable, as we did tons of walking.”
Meanwhile, another mentioned they are “great for winter weather.”
The Sorel Metro II Waterproof Sneaker has the potential to be a lifesaver for you this winter, both by preventing them from getting wet and from wearing otherwise clunky shoes, but they're bound to sell out at some point. If you need one, make sure to get your size before they sell out.
