Camel Active Pandora Leather Boots

Lovely pair of boots from the Camel Active range. Camel Active Pandora are a knee-high boot that feature a stylish design consisting of an overlapping leather upper and wool cuff. This is prevalent on lots of boots from the Camel Active range (see another pair here). Being made from wool it will do a good job of keeping the heat in. On the Pandora this wool cuff comes in either multi-colour or black, as it does for most Camel Active Boots. Camel Active Pandora are fairly narrow in the calf so if you're someone who has bigger than average calf's you may want to give these boots a miss.

As I'm sure you're aware, Camel Active Pandora have become increasingly hard to find for sale. But I have good news. I have managed to track down where they are being sold online. 

You can find them for sale here (UK only). They are available in the following colours: Brown (described as "red" and pictured above), Black and Green.

Camel Pandora have full leather uppers, an insulated lining, and a full 360 degree sole to upper stitching making them comfortable, warm and hard-wearing. They are a good boot for the winter, but surprisingly they are not 100% waterproof. However, they were never claimed to be fully waterproof by Camel. You may end up with damp feet in very wet weather. But apart from really bad weather these boots will handle almost everything else.

Camel state that the shaft on these boots is a medium, not a regular as it is on a lot of other Camel boots. Unless that is the same width and they have been listed for sale differently. However, some women have commented that they are tight, so if you do end up buying these boots and find them way too tight in the calf, they do have a full zip on the inner side, so you could always leave the side zip down a bit to see if that helps.

It depends on how much you want the boots I suppose to determine whether you want to take the risk of buying them and finding out that they are too tight. You can always send them back. Camel Pandora are available in black, grey, and dark red pictured above (most popular). Sizing starts at a UK 3 and goes up to a UK 8. Half sizes are also available.

Ladies Camel Active Dora Boots

A real pair of heavy-duty women's boots with an excellent design. Camel Active Dora are generally not cheap, but if you buy a pair you will see why. They are made to a very high standard. The uppers have a superb, clean but rugged design consisting of an overlapping leather construction in certain places. They have a full zip up on one side for easily taking the boots off or putting them on.

They also have a belt feature on the other side which adds more visuals to their tough exterior design. They are big softies really! One of the best features is the knitted cuff, it really completes the look. Camel Active Dora Boots fit many social styles from funky to punk, right through to country / farmer, and also casual wear.

Camel have done a great job of combining rugged styling with comfort. They are insulated with wool and have a latex sole, so they are an excellent choice if you're looking for a pair of winter boots that will last you years. I told you they were big softies! They are literally sheep in wolf's clothing. But that is not a bad thing when it comes to footwear. They offer the best of both worlds, tough and durable but soft and luxurious in all the right places.

The best colour combination has to be the Indigo (Pictured above). The knitted cuff colour on the Indigo pair really matches the overall boot contrast very well. Of course, the other two colour ways, the rustic brown with an Autumn style cuff, and the pure black pair are still nice. The black pair come with a plain cuff to cater for people who like a stealth boot. If you are a looking for a black pair in a UK size 7.5 you are in luck. That particular size and colour are quite cheap in price and make such a bargain.

Other sizes and colours vary a lot in terms of price, generally going from fairly cheap to very expensive. They are worth the money though. Great boots.

One thing to be aware of: They do come slightly big in size, so some people will probably need to buy a half size smaller. Half sizes are available in all colours. If you want a pair of Camel boots that are similar but come without laces, try the Camel Confetti Boots. Or if you want a longer boot with no laces take a look the Pandora. All are around the same price.
