Get them while they have your size! Beautiful weather boot that is better looking than the usual clunky Sorel boot.I bought both a 10 (what I usually wear) and a 10 1/2 to try for best fit. While I could squeeze my wool-socked foot into the 10 going up 1/2 size larger is much more comfortable and for added warmth and comfort I put an Ugg insole inside. They are so comfortable walking on gravel and uneven surfaces for long periods of time. I'm not sure they will be as warm as their Joan of Arctics but they are warm in the 20's with light snow. The two calf straps help pull in for slimmer calves and let out for fuller calves which is great! Leather is great looking and will only get better over time. Soles have the typical Sorel ridged bottoms so they will be good for rain or snow. But, I'll be wearing anytime because they are better looking than the usual weather boot! The only negative is that it doesn't have pull-on straps but that wouldn't keep me from buying them.

I bought these boots in black about a month ago. I usually wear a 7 or 7.5 depending on brand. I ordered these in a 7.5 and an 8 after reading reviews they ran small. My toe was right at the end in the 7.5 but otherwise the fit was great, the 8 gave a tiny bit more room in the length but was roomier width wise. I kept the 8 and wear thicker socks. I wear them frequently and they are extremely comfortable and waterproof. The shoe is not heavy. Highly recommend. I am 5 foot 4 inches and the height of the boot is perfect.

I love these boots! I have skinny calves and typically can’t find tall boots that don’t leave a mote around my legs. Though these are presented as 15” in circumference, they cinch up nicely for us with sparrow legs. And they look good.
The advice to size up is spot on. I am a solid 8.5, occasionally even an 8. I ordered a 9 and it’s perfect.

Obsessed with the look and style of this boot. However, getting into it is a little tough! The instep is so tight and has no zipper for easier access. For that reason I wish I sized up one size. Once the boot was on it was comfortable and very warm. I just slipped them on with the gym socks I was already wearing and they were pretty snug...so I guess my vision of wearing thick warm socks is out of the question - but, that’s ok because they are so warm already I don’t see the need to wear thick socks.

I got these as a gift from my husband and needed to go up a size. Zappos was awesome with the size exchange even though they were a gift. I actually do ride my horses in these! They easily work in an English 4'1/2' stirrup. These are light weight, not like older Sorels. I've had frostbitten toes, so I can only wear these in high 30's and up, need something warmer for colder temps. Depending on socks I would go up .5-1 size bigger. Looks great will all types of clothing!

Love these boots. So cute but very functional in our snowy weather. I wear a 7.5/8 on average so I ordered a 8.5 since reviews said it ran small. I sent it back for an 8. On my foot this runs true to size.

Love these boots.
Read reviews and bought a size larger and they fit perfectly. Going to purchase the wool/fuzzy bottom inserts and these will be perfect for all weather. Feet were a bit cold in them when I wore them out in rain at the kids soccer game. Got tons of compliments...

Very happy. Purchased the 9, which felt true to size. It does not feel narrow, and I have an average-to-wide foot The color and style are what caught my eye. I had contemplated buying a different brand which is ubiquitous at suburban soccer games, but they had no flare, other than the occasional pattern. I love the grey part that looks like an elongated spat. It is double-sewn to the rubber portion of the boot, and the seal appears to be sturdy and secure, as well. The straps behind the calf are functional as well as stylish.
A word on comfort... I gave this 5 stars because there is room to wiggle my toes and the sole is thick enough that my feet feel protected. I think it will be comfortable for its intended use, which is trudging in foul weather, not hiking or strolling. It would benefit from a padded insert to provide insulation and arch support if one were going to wear it for longer walks.

First time Sorel customer. I loved the boots, but the size 11 was too short for my feet. My toes touched the front of the boot, and I didn't even have heavy socks on. I'll be looking out for this boots in size 12 when available, I would definitely purchase them. Great customer service from Zappos.

These are my new favorite boots! I love them! They are soft inside and warm, too. The only thing I wished they had were straps to help pull them on. Other than that they are perfect for the cold and snow. And they look so cute. I love the adjustable calf straps, too. Best purchase ever!

Got these today. First, thanks Zappos for the great customer service and super fast shipping. I purchased the British Tan/Umber color and they are gorgeous. Although I went up a half size (from 7 to 7.5), they are still a bit snug, so I can't wear super thick socks. Overall, very happy that I purchased them.

Absolutely LOVE these boots. I usually wear an 8.5 and I purchased an 8.5 (only because that was my only option). They are slightly small, but not to the point that I can't wear them. If they had a 9, I probably would have went up a half size only-just to have a little extra room. Other than that-the absolute cutest boot!!!

When I first bought these, I thought they would be a go to pair for me. But I didn't realize how quickly they would become a favorite. I haven't worn these once without getting a compliment. I've worn them in rain, snow and sun! Definitely a great addition!

These boots were comfortable from the start! I ordered 1/2 size up based on reviews and they fit well with heavy socks. The boots perform well in Minnesota snow and ice storms. The boots are very stylish and fun to wear.

These are my current favorite boots! I have a wider calf and they slide right on. I ordered my regular size and they fit great. You will get cold feet if you don't wear warmer socks... but for a boot to wear in any situation these are the boots! They look great to wear out in public or throw on to walk the dogs.

My Sorel Slimbacks Riding Tall boots are as pretty as they are functional --not to mention comfortable and warm. When the weather gets cold and a little crazy, I don't have to be aware of the weather elements. This pair is another great asset in the lines of wonderful and stylish foot wear that Sorel makes available for us Sorel/Quality connoisseurs! This review is no exaggeration.

These by far the most stylish winter boots to be found! They are very comfortable and look great with any outfit. I've received so many compliments! I did order a half size up to wear thicker socks with them.

I've been searching for this boot in my size for a while; if anything I would maybe order up half a size. The quality is great, very comfortable and you can dress them up or dress them down. These will definetely not be my last pair ordered. I want them in all colors now. Happy shopping, folks!

I fell in love with these boots when I saw them on the website and even more so when they arrived. The oiled leather is supple and comfortable, lending to their chic, classic styling. As you might suspect from Sorel, these fashion-forward boots are also warm and functional. I am confident these boots will quickly become my go-to favorite, and I look forward to ordering them in the additional color scheme!

I was searching for a boot that would be great in the snow or rain, plus look stylish. These fit the bill!
I am extremely pleased with the quality, nice leather and not an overly clunky boot for my size 5.5 foot! I was concerned with the sizing, after reading some of the reviews, but i ordered my regular size and can wear a thin or thick sock with these boots. They are a good fit and warm.
Delivery was also fast and received the boots within a couple of days of placing the order.
i am not disappointed in my purchase!

I've been wanting these unique boots for several years & finally ordered them. So glad I did! They DO run a half to a full size small. I ordered a half size up & they just fit - no extra room - but still comfy. Have gotten tons of compliments!

Love these boots! It’s been raining for DAYS here in ATL and these have come in quite handy! Both comfortable and stylish. Definitely go up a 1/2 size as they run small.

I absolutely love my new boots. The leather will get soft in time. They are true to size...very stylish yet practical for the winter here in New England. They sell out fast and now I know why. Compliments to Sorel! Great work!
