Why We Love This Deal
It’s the season for Sorel boots. While the brand's sturdy duck boots are perfect for powering through winter weather and its snow boots are always a guaranteed winner, there are also plenty of more stylish picks that can still take on weather. For example, if you prefer a more classic boot look, you need to check out the brand’s Slabtown 62’ Six model. It's rugged but refined, and now, it's nearly $75 off at REI.
The Sorel Slabtown 62' Six Waterproof Boots are on sale for $105, a 40% discount from their normal price of $175. One colorway is available—a handsome light beige suede—and you can order them in sizes 8 all the way up to 13. We last spied them on sale over at Nordstrom Rack in October, and they sold out very fast. If you didn’t grab a pair back then, this is your second chance, but several are already low stock, so don't wait.

The Slabtown 62’ takes inspiration from classic work boots—it offers serious all-weather performance in a very handsome package. Starting from the top, this version of the boot is built with a suede upper with a lace-up closure, and it’s seam-sealed to keep splashes, rain, slush, and snow from soaking your feet.
Inside, the boot is lined with leather for a smooth texture and a comfortable fit around your foot, and a removable EVA foam insole softens impacts and creates a comfortable ride. On the bottom, the Slabtown 62’ has a wedge sole made from Cushgrip, a shock-absorbing compound, and the sole’s shallow tread pattern helps the boot find good grip on pavement and indoor surfaces.
Overall, with its robust waterproof leather upper, the Slabtown 62’ is an ideal pick for winter wear, especially if you don’t want to compromise on style. Even though it's suede, it should not be affected by water. You may want to occasionally use a slightly abrasive foam sponge to remove any salt if you come into contact with any. Otherwise, wear these confidently all winter long.
