The SOREL Explorer Boot Dual Zip for men and Explorer II Joan Dual Zip for women feature waterproof leather outers, microfleece linings for warmth, a rubber sole, and adaptive designs to make it easier to get them on and off. Each model has zippers on both sides of the boot to provide a wider opening for your foot. There is also an enlarged loop on the heel to make pulling up the boot easier, as well as removable insoles to accommodate orthotics.

If you’re looking for an ankle-high boot, the SOREL Emelie II Chelsea Heel Zip is a waterproof leather boot with a single zipper and enlarged pull tab in the back, along with a removable insole for orthotic users.

“We’re humbled to have had the opportunity to work with SOREL on introducing their first inclusive footwear line to the market,” said Dana Zumbo, the business development manager for Zappos Adaptive. “With both brands’ passion for meeting customer needs, we seamlessly aligned throughout the process — which involved sharing feedback from Zappos Adaptive customers’ most requested features and working directly with the disability community to ensure the most universal fit and wear possible.”
