Sorel is a Canadian footwear brand whose origins trace to the Kaufman Rubber Company, founded in 1908 by Jacob and Alvin Kaufman in Berlin (now Kitchener), Ontario. Kaufman introduced the Sorel line of winter boots in 1962, producing rubber-and-leather designs built for severe Canadian winters. The Caribou, launched in 1972, became the definitive cold-weather boot, rated to -40°F with a vulcanized rubber shell and a removable felt inner boot. After Kaufman filed for bankruptcy in 2000, Columbia Sportswear acquired the Sorel trademark and relaunched the line. Supreme has collaborated with Sorel on co-branded Caribou boots and winter outerwear.
