Meghan Markle famously wore her Sorel snow boots during the 2025 Invictus Games, and they’re the perfect waterproof and winter-proof purchase for the incoming snow in the UK
We may be over the worst of Storm Goretti, but the UK is still expecting freezing temperatures, icy ground and plenty more snowfall over the coming weeks. To make sure you’re prepared for the winter weather, a great pair of shoes is essential, and we’ve been coveting Meghan Markle’s go-to pair ever since she wore them last year.
Meghan was spotted at the 2025 Invictus Games in a pair of Sorel’s Joan Of Arctic Waterproof Snow Boots, which were perfect for tackling the Canadian snow in Whistler. The boots are a great pick for the winter weather, and come in four different colours, including Meghan’s taupe and black pair.

These Sorel boots are exactly what you need to get through the winter months. They’re ultra warm thanks to the faux fur cuff and felt liner which keeps the cold out, and you can even remove the felt lining to pop it in the wash to keep them smelling fresh and clean.
The Joan Of Arctic Waterproof Snow Boots are made from a vulcanised rubber shell and have a herringbone outsole, which means they’re lightweight and comfy to wear whilst still giving you plenty of grip on the ice. They’re also fully waterproof with sealed seams to stop any leaks.
You could just as easily wear them for commuting to the office or heading out on a snowy hike in the UK, as you could for apres ski style whilst in the snow mountains on a ski trip. You can pick up the Joan Of Arctic Waterproof Snow Boots in sizes UK3 to UK10, and there’s half sizes available from 3.5 to 8.5, so you can get a comfy secure fit.
They are, however, priced at £200, which can be quite the splurge for most of us. If you want a slightly more affordable option, Amazon has slashed the price of Sorel’s Caribou Waterproof Boots by a huge £100, bringing them down from £165 to £63.02.
They do have a slightly shorter shaft and don’t feature the faux fur cuff, but are still lined with a soft and cosy fleece material to keep you warm. They’re also completely waterproof, with the same excellent grip on the soles, making these a great way to copy Meghan’s style for less.
We also love Mountain Warehouse’s Ohio Womens Snow Boots which have a similar look to Meghan’s knee-high Sorel boots, but are a fraction of the price. On sale down from £79.99 to £29.99, they’re warm and snowproof, with grippy soles, faux fur trim, and a thermal lining that keeps your feet cosy in temperatures as low as -20°C.
