Customer Reviews SOREL Glacy Explorer™

It's taken me years to find a winter boot that isn't horrifically ugly. I got this boot in pink and Absolutely love the look of them. However, I thought they would be warm, considering they are Sorels, but they do not keep my feet warm at all. :( sorely disappointed that I spent that much and my feet are still cold!

I love these boots! My toes have not been cold once in them, and it has been seriously freezing in Michigan. I am a student, so I walk everywhere I go, every day. These boots have been very comfortable, cute and warm. My only gripe is that I ordered them in an 8.5 and they are too big, which has given me a blister (I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten the blister had I ordered the 8) but I of course wore them outside before I discovered this so I couldn't return them and get an appropriate size.

I love these boots! I bought the saddle/raft pair and they look and fit great. I wear a size 9 in most shoes (asics/born) and the 9 in this boot fits great. I have only had them a week and have had many compliments from total strangers!

Love these boots! Very warm. I wear a 7.5 in shoes and ordered that size in this boot. I can wear them with medium thickness smartwool socks and they fit snug, but not to tight. When I tried on an 8 in a store it felt to loose. Seem to have more arch support and comfort than the traditional style Sorel boots I tried on. Bought these to replace Ugg classic boots that had a hole in them. Very happy!

I LOVE the style of this boot! My daughter got them in pink, and they looked so great and felt so comfortable that I ordered them in the blue and purple. These look fantastic with jeans. One problem... I followed the advice of many reviewers who suggested ordering up a half size. Typically, I can rely on these reviews. Not this time. I wear a 9 and have a wide foot. I ordered a 9.5 and it's too big. Hoping there are some 9's left so that I can snag a pair when I return the 9.5's. Gorgeous, functional, fun boots!

This is the second pair I've ordered. I ordered my first from another company. They definitely run (at least) 1/2 size too big. That company was out of stock on other sizes, so I'm making that return and ordering from Zappos now. Again, consider ordering down, even if expecting to wear a thick sock.

I absolutely love these boots! I had another pair of Sorel snow boots before (Catherine the Great, I think) and wore them until the soles were worn down and no longer waterproof. Like those, but they were heavy and not that warm. These, however, are super cozy, maybe even too warm, considering my feet start sweating as soon as I put them on! And they are really light, meaning I can walk in them for hours without straining my leg muscles. I highly recommend these.

I bought the red ones and I really like them. I catch people looking at them all of the time. I wore them today while it was snowy and in the 20s and my feet were warm. I would say they run a bit small. I normally wear anywhere from a size 7.5 to 8.5, and I ended up keeping the 8.5. I can wear thick socks with them. I also have athletic calves and these boots are not a problem. My only complaint is that these boots were clearly a return. The tags were snipped off of the boots and were not in the box and there was no stuffing or cardboard within the boots. And no packing slip. But I like them and will keep them.

I bought these because I wanted red snow boots. The color is bright and as pictured. They are cute with jeans tucked in. They are comfortable and roomy - thick socks are no problem. The big bonus is that they are so light weight. Many snow boots feel like bricks on your feet. We have not had enough winter for me to walk thru a drift yet, but so far my feet are dry and warm. They are also priced very reasonably for good snow boots. I am happy with this purchase.

I absolutely love these boots! I have been wearing Sorel's Cate the Great (sadly discontinued) boots for a few years and always had problems with the rubber lower portion cracking after a winter of wearing them. I thought that I would try these since they do not have a rubber shell. These boots are lightweight, amazingly comfortable, and really warm! I have tested them in the snow already and my feet stayed warm and dry the whole time.

I love these! They are fun and kept my feet warm all day. The boots have a larger toe box so there is room for thicker socks. They are cozy for sure.

Favorite winter boots! I wanted to make sure and do a review on these. I bought these last fall/winter and wear them constantly. They are extremely comfortable and warm. I like that there is a little lift that help keeps you above the snow, I feel like it keeps my toes warmer. I've wore them hunting, walking the dog in the snow, and pretty much just all the time. Receive tons of compliments and just put them back on for the season. Would love another pair in the new colors.

These boots are fantastic! I have large feet and always struggle to find women's shoes that fit true to their labeled size! These boots are extremely comfortable, and easy to get on and off. I am able to comfortably wear them with regular socks but they also have plenty of room for a thicker woolen sock! I have yet to try them out in colder temperatures, but winter is just around the corner so can't wait to get outdoors with them!

These boots are super comfortable. They are easy to slide on(I have large calfs too). They seem like they will be very warm and waterproof. The lace feature allows you to tighten then us as loose or secure as you need them. The sole is thick and cushiony. I'll give an update once my Maine winter starts. I got these in a size 11. The boot itself isn't to large or clunky. Very happy!!

Love these, love Sorel...they keep your feet warm always and these are a fun color and nice change! I live in a ski resort!

Absolutely loved these! So comfortable. I ordered in the saddle/raft color but did not like the color once they came in the mail. I ended up returning for the black ones but unfortunately I had to order from another website because Zappos was sold out. I tried a couple other Sorel boots but these were by far the most comfortable. Like walking on a cloud.

I'd been searching for new boots for awhile when I came across the SOREL collection, and I had to have these! I didn't realize they were not a true lace-up until I got them (even though it is pretty evident from the photos!), so they were a bit snug at the top. I have a wider calf, but I think it has more to do with height, and I am just 5'3" so they hit me higher, therefore on the wider part of my calf. I can tuck a skinny jean, leggings, or a thinner pant in without much trouble, but anything thicker starts to strangle my calves (btw, they fit great with no pants on, HA!). The foot is roomy, perfect with thick socks, and the footbed is cushy and comfy. They keep my feet warm and dry outdoors, and stay comfortably cozy indoors (not suddenly overheating like in Uggs!). I could wear these around the house -- and have! I love these boots so much, I bought all three colors. (And I must add, I had a hiccup with a different style of SORELs and Zappos took care of it immediately, and in the most friendly and professional way, I hate going anywhere else!)

Amazing boots! These boots are so warm, functional and stylish at the same time. Our winters along Lake Michigan are brutal! Lake effect snow and howling wind make quite the terrible combination, but my feet are toasty warm and comfortable in these beauties.

Awesome boots! I've finally invested in pair of high quality boots and I won't regret it! These bright and cheery boots will keep me happy during the long Minnesota winters. They fit me perfectly. I wear a size 7 and ordered a size 7, no problems. Also, I have larger calf muscles and these boots fit right over them, even with a thicker pant. Warm and totally waterproof! Wore them for over 8 hours while errand running (in and out of the snow). My feet stayed toasty, dry, and comfortable. They also have great grips on the bottom to help increase traction on the ice. I will not hesitate to wear these boots while having to do a lot of walking, they are very comfortable. I would highly recommend these boots. I've received so many compliments so far!

First snow fall of the year here in Bend Oregon 4 inches so far and still coming down. Temps are around 16 degrees. I couldn't wait to try out my boots! Shoveled for about an hour. Dry and toasty warm feet! Yay! I do find plenty of room for winter socks. Maybe even room for a dry sock liner with them. They feel like a pair of roomy, but comfy sneakers. Super cute and sporty. I bought the black with teal laces. I figure I can change out the laces if I get tired of the bright teal. They are a nice change from the beloved Joan of arctic (love these too) that I see everywhere here. I have a pretty muscular calf (16.25")and these are perfect. Not too much extra room after thick boot socks, but not too tight. I wear a 6.5 -7. I purchased the 7 and like I mentioned they are pretty roomy, but the last thing I want are snow boot that are too tight. No frozen digits here. ;-)

I read many reviews before ordering these and the majority were very happy and many also said they run large. I ordered them a half size small and they were too small! Otherwise, I absolutely LOVE them. They are extremely comfortable and love the purple suede. I obviously didn't wear them for an extended time. They have been returned and now I need to find my size elsewhere because they don't have my size in stock. Highly recommend them! ;)

Great boots. I normally wear a 7 1/2; in boots I order a 8. The 7 1/2 was not available so I got the 8 even though all the reviews said they run large. They came in and yes they are a little bigger than I would like. I just plan on wearing thick socks when we go play in the snow! I even have narrow feet. I am probably going to change the laces to gray or black. Wish they came with them...that is my only gripe!

These are the first Sorel boots I have owned. Living in northern MI now, I decided I wanted something warm & stylish for winter. I ordered these in purple and was a little nervous when I got them since they seemed thin. They are very warm & comfy. I wore them outside all day with a pair of warm socks and my feet never got cold. I highly recommend them. And the fit was perfect for my normal size.

So excited to get my boots when I just ordered them yesterday. I normally wear an 11 and ordered a 10.5 and it fits great! I'm so happy they arrived so fast! They are super warm and have a great arch support.
