Sorel Caribou Reserve

Bootilicious
(Adam Levey)

In places where ice fishing is routine, the winter boot of choice is Sorel's Caribou. Which is what these are, but all dressed up. Like the originals, the Caribou Reserves are waterproof and, thanks to thick felt liners, will keep toes from freezing when it gets down to minus 40. Unlike your garden-variety Caribous, however, these limited-edition beauties come in a handcrafted wooden box and are sewn from leather usually found only on the finest Italian shoes. Inside, they're lined with exquisitely soft shearling, and the eyelets are solid brass. Only one question remains: Do your feet deserve it?
