When you have bunions and a wide foot (as I do), finding comfortable, waterproof and attractive winter boots can be incredibly difficult, but these Sorel boots scored big on all points, so they definitely are keepers. My foot measures 8W but I bought a 9, which fits fine with medium- to heavy-weight socks. The toe box is high, which provides extra comfort. The foot bed is soft, unlike cheaper boots which often feel as if you're walking on concrete. And these are so cute! I love the red sole and laces on the Pebble color. Although winter is my least-favorite season, I can hardly wait to start wearing these!

I think you either love these or hate them. I got the turquoise and they look pretty cool, the color is lovely and I like the diamond pattern. But I am not keeping them primarily because I wanted a boot that was fully lined with fleece or fur (faux okay). These only have fur at the top, the rest of the inside is a soft felt like material but is not fuzzy or furry. They are comfortable but not as plush as I wanted. A note on sizing. I wear between a 7.5 and 8 and these are a 7.5 with a lot of room, so I think they run pretty big. If you are in-between sizes I would order the next size down. Basically these are cute boots that are pretty comfortable but the Snow Angels also by Sorel beat them out for what I need!

First let me start off by saying I can wear my regular size 8.5 with a wool sock, so there is no need to size up...isn't that what people really want to know? They are comfy, out of the box, easy to slide into and the turquoisey blue color is awesome. I love the way the lace comes down to the toe box, looks really cool when you can see the laces at the end underneath your jeans. The last 3 pairs of boots I have bought have been Sorels. Thank-you!

These boots are awesome! First cold spell in MT with highs only in the single digits and my feet haven't been cold yet! I have several pairs of the rubber toe boots by Sorel and I have to say this style with the canvas upper is so much warmer. I have a very narrow foot so I ordered a size 8 instead of my normal 8.5 and they fit great. Only concern is that they won't be the best if it's really soggy and wet. The bottoms are a tad slippery.

These boots are very comfortable. I have a wide foot and need good arch support. I was very pleased that these boots have good arch support. I usually wear a 6.5 but went up to a size 7. Sorel boots are good for wide feet. Another good feature is that the boot is easy to get in and out of. The laces allow you to tighten or loosen the boot as needed. Sorel makes a quality boot. This will be a sturdy, warm boot for winter walking and I'll be trying them out soon. Pretty color combinations.

These were so, so, so cute, and oh so very comfy! However, these are not at all close to what I would need to get me through a real Minnesota winter... Regrettably, these are going back in favor of a shoe that can get me through a snowy, sloshy, sub-zero run of months.

These boots are adorable, but I agree with the previous comment about them looking a little like kid's shoes. They are a little bulky and definitely wider than I anticipated. Sorel makes wide shoes, which is great for some. This year their Tivoli line is particularly more narrow, however if you want a good fit go up a size on those, and down half or a full size on these. These are like walking on fluffy gel clouds, however. I hope that was helpful.

I wear a 7, but with Sorel it has always turned out that I need a 6.5. I wanted the Tobacco color and they only had a 7 so I tried that first, thinking I could make it work. Short answer, no. Zappos "always awesome" customer service got me swapped out for the 6.5 in the Madder Brown/Red. I do actually love the color. I didn't expect to - something different for me. First day I wore them I got at least 3 compliments. Plus, they are as comfy as my other Sorels.

These boots are so comfortable! I ordered my regular size and still have room for thick socks. The boots are light and very warm.

If you are looking for a boot that has great style and comfort after a long day of skiing or snowboarding, this is the boot for you. They keep your foot warm and are true to size so no need to size up or down. I thought they would be too funky but the style is really cool. I get compliments on them all the time! They also provide great traction on snow/ice.

These definitely kept my feet warm and dry! They most certainly run very wide. I usually wear a 7.5-8 wide in sneakers and these boots in an 8 are borderline too big. They are a great boot!

These snow boots were are comfortable and warm. I have a hard time finding women's snow boots because my feet are 11.5 wide, I bought these in 12 and they fit perfectly even with thick socks.

These are super warm and cute. Kind of like snazzy moon boots. My teenage daughter loves her tall ones too!

I bought this for going to ski areas often. They keep your feet warm. I think it was a good buy. It has good cushion under your feet for more comfort.

These achieve the (seemingly) impossible: Warmth, traction, lightweight, arch support, and cuteness! Seriously, these are fantastic boots. Like snow sneakers - they are so light on the feet, I can walk in them all day. Warm, dry, the works. I took out the black shoelaces and substituted hot pink ones - that was so cute! I love these boots.

I love these boots! They are lightweight, easy to walk in, and very warm. I have a wide foot and usually wear a size 9. They were too big so I returned them for a size 8.5. That was perfect. These boots are a great buy!

OMG- theses are THE most comfy shoes I own! The insole feels TEMPURPEDIC! They are VERY wide, so if you have a narrow foot, forget it. I have a medium wide foot, wear them with thick socks and leggings. Also have thick calves, and they hit perfect. My thin 22 yr old daughter loves them too- gave her my fuchsia ones from last year! Much more fun, lightweight, and funky than normal Sorels!!

This boot is very high quality, comfortable and warm. I have had many Sorel boots in the past and they are made to last. I love the fit, true to size and the insert for a lifted arch. My feet do not sweat and stay toast warm in the coldest weather. Unique in styling and comfort in wearing!!!

These boots are the most comfortable boots that I own! They are super cute and you can wear them with tights or jeans. They are definitely worth every penny!

These are warm boots! My feet got sweaty just wearing them around the house for a while. I got the red ones which is a really great color. I wear 11½ and the 12 fit perfect in length. The footbed is pretty cushy. They are somewhat difficult to cinch around the ankle due to the placement of the laces. It thus felt really loose in the heel since my foot lifts up off the footbed when I walk. So they are going back.

After trying many boots to wear outdoors particularly at sporting events where you not only need waterproof, windproof and warmth qualities, but comfort is at the top of that list as well, these boots have them all. The best part is that they're actually stylish and light weight. I love everything about them and I'm so glad I bought them. The thick undersole is fantastic insulation for the very cold concrete we rest our feet on at football games. My feet were toasty, comfortable and I couldn't be happier with this boot.

Love these boots! They keep my feet completely dry and warm when I'm playing in the snow with my son. I normally wear a size 9 in other shoes and heels, and I also have wide feet; I got these in an 8.5 and they fit perfectly.

Granted, I have yet to try these in the snow and slush of a Chicago winter, but right out of the box these boots felt like a winning choice. They feel comfortable on, as if walking for miles will be a pleasure and not a chore resulting in aching feet, and the style and red color rack up bonus points for fun.

I absolutely love my new boots! They are incredibly comfortable and have great traction on the bottom. I wore them for the first time in 14° weather and my feet stayed warm. And I have gotten all kinds of compliments!
