Why We Love This Deal
While Sorel has built its reputation on fully winterized footwear suited for Arctic explorers, the brand makes more than just good snow boots. Its deep collection includes models made to go toe-to-toe with water and still look good with everyday outfits—no parkas in sight. This includes one waterproof boot that Nordstrom Rack is selling for nearly half off.
The Sorel Madson II Chore Waterproof Boot is now $100. Its smallest size (7.5) is already running low on stock, so make sure to pick up this deal when you can, because your size might be next.

What Shoppers Should Know

- Waterproofing: Seam-sealed construction
- Best Use Case: Urban walks and commutes on rainy days.
The Sorel Madson II Chore Waterproof Boot has an all-leather upper with a tough, durable appearance. In fact, the natural leather exterior has a sort of roughed-up look from the get-go, conjuring a mental imagery of a boot that’s resilient, seen rainy cobblestone drives, and been around way before the iPhone. Pair the boot with some nice denim, a chore coat, and a stubbled chin for a mysterious, well-traveled look.
Beyond looks, the boot also has utility appeal. The rubber sole is seam-sealed to the leather upper, creating a truly waterproof barrier that’s rain and slush-ready. Treads that slant forward and backward run along the bottom face of the boot, giving each step the traction it needs. Finally, a removable insole cushions every dry and comfortable step.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Shoppers confirm this is a true-to-size, true-to-width boot. One said it’s “not a bulky wide toe. Coming from someone with a wider foot, they fit just right.” And the good news is, due to the all-leather construction of the upper, a pair of Sorel Madson II Chore Waterproof Boots will begin to conform to the shape of your foot over time, getting better with each wear.
The Sorel Madson II Chore Waterproof Boot is $100 right now, a discount of $95, but the opportunity to get your size in the boot won’t last forever.
