You can officially get your hands on the coolest shoe collaboration to emerge from New York Fashion Week.
First seen on the Proenza Schouler Spring/Summer 2025 runway last month, the Sorel x Proenza Schouler limited-edition collection of Caribou boots and mules is finally available to shop.
Encompassing six styles, the range strikes a bullseye on that all-too-evasive sartorial sweet spot of chic practicality. It combines Sorel’s no-nonsense approach to technical footwear with Proenza Schouler’s downtown cool girl appeal. (The brand’s latest campaign model, Parker Posey, is an adept personification of Proenza Schouler’s design ethos.)

Sidestepping slush this winter won’t require forfeiting your personal style with this dream collab. Choose between a short mule and a rugged take on a classic Chelsea boot. Each winter footwear silhouette is available in three hues: “Chalk,” a monochrome winter white; “Golden Ochre,” a school bus yellow juxtaposed with a black rubber outsole; and goes-with-everything “Black,” accented with contrasting white topstitching.
The designs utilize Sorel’s Caribou silhouette that’s crafted to handle all types of inclement weather. Both the mule and Chelsea boot boast seam-sealed waterproof construction, combining semi-gloss full grain leather with a vulcanized rubber shell. The molded foam midsole ensures an ergonomic and comfortable fit, while the molded rubber outsole features Sorel’s EVERTREAD technology for maximum traction on slick streets. A custom back logo tab showcases both of the brands’ labels for street cred.
The limited-edition collection of women’s boots and slip-on shoes lends your clothing staples a utilitarian edge. As styled on the runway, the mule grounds a high-low hem skirt and trench coat, while wide-leg trousers look effortless when draped over a pair of cream Chelsea boots.
Long considered arbiter of city girl style, Proenza Schouler has specialized in supplying women who possess that intangible ‘It’ factor with stylish separates since the early 2000s. From its earliest devotees like Chloë Sevigny and Leigh Lezark to newer Girls About Town such as Paloma Elleser and Christina “Tinx” Najjar, the New York City-based label has its finger on the pulse of what’s both exciting and wearable.
That means these Sorel collaboration styles are bound to fly off digital shelves sooner rather than later — particularly as trendsetter Bella Hadid recently stepped out in a pair. Snap up your size while they’re in stock.
