Winter boots worn by men and women in snow country
The Caribou is a representative of the Canadian shoe brand " Sorel. The strong construction and high cold resistance of the aluminum film built into the inner boot protect your feet even in the coldest of environments. Most notably, the brand's most advanced specs can withstand temperatures down to minus 40 degrees Celsius (-40 degrees Fahrenheit). We asked the staff of three Sapporo stores, who always enjoy fashion even in harsh environments, to try on the "Caribou" and talk about what makes these winter boots so appealing.
The store, run by Mr. and Mrs. Sasaki, is located in the Sapporo Raccoon Street Shopping Arcade, one of Sapporo's most popular arcade streets, and is home to brands such as Vinyl Archive and Auralee, which are symbolic of the current era. The shop is popular not only for its clothing, but also for its chic yet casual items, such as leather wallets and caps, suitable for everyday wear by adults.

It's going to be all-around great for parks, shoveling snow, etc."
I see that you are a Sorel user.
tokiko: I have a child and I wanted a pair of boots that would not slip and would be warm when playing together. I started wearing them last year.
Chikada University. I also have winter boots for shoveling snow. . In winter, we get about 50 cm of snow in front of our front door. After getting up in the morning and getting ready, I put on my boots and shovel the snow away, which is my daily routine in winter. . When I play with my children at the park, I can't wear sneakers.
For the people of the province, they are more of a practical item than a fashion item. Tomohiro, how do you feel about wearing them?
Chikada University. They don't slip on snowy roads, and they are lighter and more comfortable than I expected. . The design is easy to match with my daily coordinate, and I can use them all-around at the park, shoveling snow, etc.
. What is the point of today's coordination?
Chikada University: I usually wear pants over them as well, so I guess I'd rather have the volume of wide pants than wear them in. Also, the fur works well as a design feature. Without it, maybe it would look too hard.
tokiko. women also wear skirts, so it is easy to match them with a height like this. . After all, the best thing is that they are warm and non-slip.
The store offers a wide range of garments from Japan and overseas, including "Filson" and "Anatomica," as well as workwear, American casual wear, and military garments. The store is known among fashion enthusiasts as a famous store that attracts many customers not only from Hokkaido but also from outside Hokkaido in search of excellent products from long-established brands and items of high quality and solidity.
upstream. I think it's the fact that they are lightweight and warm. They look heavy, but they are very comfortable. When I went squid fishing recently, the guy I went with was wearing them. At that time, I was wearing moccasins, but it was very cold. ...... Also, I think the key point is that they are easy to move around in.
Caribou" is the best choice for people who enjoy outdoor activities in winter.
upstream. I can't stand it when my feet get cold. The person I went squid fishing with knows a lot about the outdoors, so it's more convincing when someone like that actually wears them.
What do you usually wear when shoveling snow?
upstream.: I wear boots when shoveling snow. I also wear boots when I go to work and change them at the store.
. What is the point of today's coordination?
upstream. The theme is American outdoors. Today I am wearing slim jeans with a pair of flannel pants, but gray flannel pants would also be a good match. If you are going to wear thin pants, I recommend that you wear a long coat and boots with volume. Also, I think a mountain parka would be good.
Is there a particular type of down jacket that sells well in Hokkaido? . When I walked around town, I had the impression that surprisingly few people were wearing down jackets.
upstream.: If you wear a down jacket, you can't enjoy layering, so we don't suggest that much at our store. . Therefore, sweaters and inner down jackets work well.
. I guess there are more people in Tokyo who wear thicker clothes.
upstream. because Hokkaido also feels coldest before the snow piles up, and once it does, it is surprisingly warm.

It's a great way to coordinate your look."
What would you recommend to wear with Sorel boots?
Tokunaga era (1306.12.14-1308.10.9). I had the image of wearing pants in, but I found it surprising that wide pants are also fine.
What kind of footwear do you wear most other than Sorel boots?
Tokunaga era (1306.12.14-1308.10.9). Since most of the items we sell are basic casual wear, we often wear mannish leather shoes on our feet. However, I also like to wear wide pants with boots and a feminine top.
-After all, it is good to keep the femininity somewhere.
Tokunaga era (1306.12.14-1308.10.9).: It looks good with hard boots and a trench coat sizzling or a P-coat with a shape.
. - How is the comfort of the shoes?
Tokunaga era (1306.12.14-1308.10.9). lightweight and very easy to wear. Living in Hokkaido, lightness is important. I see "Sorel" shoes around town as well. They are warm, and when there is snow on the ground, you have to have a height like this to get in. Another criterion for choosing shoes is that they won't slip on snowy roads.
This contemporary store features a lineup of many of Tokyo's most popular brands, such as N. Hollywood and Teatra, and carries a wide range of domestic and sports brands. Customers in their 20s and 30s frequent the store for basic yet modern styling, with a focus on black, white, navy, khaki, and other colorful items.

It's non-slip, so you can walk briskly."
-How do you feel about wearing Sorel boots today?
Ministry of Revenue (Tang-dynasty China). It's very nice. . They are super warm, and they are non-slip, so you can walk with ease. I saw our staff wearing them during heavy snowfalls, so I wanted to buy them again.
-Are you still slippery in your regular boots?
Ministry of Revenue (Tang-dynasty China). it's slippery. . I had to walk very gently. . These are very functional and very good because the rubber sole is soft and grippy.
-What coordination do you recommend?
Ministry of Revenue (Tang-dynasty China). If you put voluminous pants in, they will look lumpy, so it would be well-balanced if you hide them with a long coat. . If you wear wide pants, you can show them off.
-By the way, do you do winter sports?
Ministry of Revenue (Tang-dynasty China).: I've experienced it all. Speed skating, skiing, snowboarding, even sledding (laughs).
. - all of them make your feet feel awfully cold afterwards, don't they?
Ministry of Revenue (Tang-dynasty China). yes, that's right. Whether skiing or skating, after you are done, you lose the feeling in your fingertips. . so I have to go to a warm place and just rub them. . In such cases, boots as warm as these seem to be a good choice.
