Large Sized Winter Boots for Women

“Larger size winter boots for women. Big boots for women. Okay, be honest. How many times have you had to search for some variation of that in Google? Or something similar: Large size flats, large size rain boots, large size whatever you’re looking for? My guess is usually you come up with a very short list of results or have to defer to men’s shoes/boots in certain instances. 

So in an effort not to waste too much of your time, all of these boots are only available up to size 12. So if you are beyond that sadly I would defer you to some mens options. The good news is that a lot of men sorels could be equally as cute and just as wonderful in quality. For each section, I am going to include the men’s alternative if I can! 

My collection of Sorels has grown quite a bit this year due to some unforeseen sales, ha! I hate when that happens…said no me ever. They all play a different role in my Wisconsin lifestyle though. 

Women’s Out ‘N About 

These are by far my most worn boot. They are the perfect boot for romping around through the muck, mud, and heavy rainfalls. They aren’t going to be the warmest option but my feet still tend to stay nice and toasty. I throw these on every morning for my work commute in an effort to save my work shoes from getting destroyed by the salt on my car mat and on the roads. They are easy to slip in and out of for errands, running out to your car, walking the dog and pretty much anything else. And the added perk is that they are adorable! My mens alternative for this one isn’t from Sorel but they are a men’s shoe from another reputable company and they offer narrow widths which are probably a big win for women!

Women’s Sorel Explorer Joan Boot

These are also great for heavy rain or light snow. I wore them on a carriage ride in Northern Wisconsin and it rained on us the entire time and these barely showed a few drops of water by the time we were finished. My feet were toasty and I think they are my cutest option to complete an adorable outdoorsy look. The mens alternative would be the Madson Caribou Boot.

Emelie Chelse

these are going to be your go-to for heavy rain. These are going to be your most fashion-forward and mellow if you ask me. They just look like any other leather boot that you could pair with jeans and a sweater. If you’re into a more subdued look these would be your best bet. These ones don’t have much insulation so pack some heavy socks and maybe if you’re in a slightly warmer climate they will be perfect for you! The Men’s alternative would be the Madson Chelsea Boot.

Joan of Arctic Boot

I also have the Joan of Arctic Boot as my true winter boot. I have had these since college and they are the boots I wear to shovel the driveway, build a snowman, go into work when we are in a polar vortex, you get the picture. When the going gets cold, the cold get Joan of Arctic. The fur trim on mine has held up really well for years and they always keep my feet warm. These are awesome because you can actually change the felt liner on all of the boots if it does ever get too worn. The Men’s alternative would be the Men’s Caribou Boot or the 1964 CVS Boot.

I want to bring it full circle in saying I am not happy to be providing most of you with men’s options because it’s not fair. And it’s a bandaid on a real problem that one day we will have real fixes for. But for now, hopefully, your feet can stay toasty and comfortable in any of the options above.
