I always size up in Sorel boots & went from a 10 1/2 to an 11. The shoe has great style appeal, moderate arch support, but it's narrow & my toes come to the end of the boot. There is no 11 1/2 to size up again & a 12 would definitely not work. I love the look of this boot, but there is no toe box room at all. I have so many Sorel boots & love most of them, but I wish Sorel would think about women with average width feet, & also make these boots with toe box room. I have an average foot, not wide & this 11 should have fit. Received these boots today & returning today.

Phenomenal boots. Super light, super warm, stylish a f. I wore them in maybe 20F degree weather with only fleece tights underneath and my feet were almost too warm. So far no issues with waterproofing either.

I LOVE these boots! I live in Chicago, and having warm boots for the snow and ice in the winter is important. I was looking for a boot that was stylish, comfortable, and that I didn't need to change out of when I got to my office. These a SO comfortable, soft inside, super warm. I'm considering buying another pair, I like them so much!

Very fashionable, comfortable boot! Love, love, LOVE them! I have high arches and plantar fasciitis (unfortunately), and these boots are comfy to walk in even without my orthotic inserts!

These are so cute! The quality of Sorel is excellent. They will definitely keep you dry and warm. I like that they are light, not clunky so they won't slow you down. Great city winter boots. True to Sorel sizing, I went 1/2 size up. Very good quality, you definitely pay for what you get in these. I would love to keep them but I can only buy one pair of winter boots. It was a hard toss up between these and the Nike Tanjun High-Rise. (Nike was a little more comfortable, suited my style better, and the most important thing it fit my budget.) Deciding between the two was like Sophie's Choice...haha!

Vegan winter boots! I'm so happy Sorel made a boot with no leather on it anywhere! Some Sorels run narrow and these definitely do run narrow in the toe box so I went up a 1/2 size. This boot will be a staple this winter since they go with everything.

I bought these to wear all day when it rains or snows. They aren't heavy at all and are so comfortable. My feet were warm and no sweating occured. I wear them even on cold days. I work inside all day and still were perfect!!! Definitely a must have!

I absolutely love these boots. I have 2 other pairs of Sorels but these are by far my favorite. I disagree about sizing up I usually wear an 8.5 to 9 (usually 9) so I ordered 9.5. They were much too big. The 9 fits great with even a bit of room to spare so I can wear thick socks if I want to. I have wide feet and that is not a problem. I got the green color and it has a bit of a shimmer to it which I absolutely love. I literally got a compliment on these boots by the very first stranger who saw me in them. They are warm for the cold, rainy weather I’ve used them in (so far dry feet!) but I’m not sure how they would be in snow or more extreme cold temps. I can even see wearing these as my hiking boots in the summer. Definitely these are my new favorite shoes and I have a lot of good ones!

These boots are fantastic! Comfortable from the first moment, even more lovely and versatile in person. I've gotten to use them in some shallow snow so far this season, and they are warm, dry and stable in both squeaky snow and icy snow. I feel the contrast on the uppers is less pronounced than in the picture. Love the white soles, which lend a canvas shoe vibe to the boot.

Just love these boots. I usually take a 7 1/2 and bought these in an 8. They fit great. I have a wide foot and the next size up is perfect. The green is a little bit shimmery which adds to the beauty. The style and sculpture I have not seen on other boots. They all have studs, buckles or straps....which makes this boot simple yet unique. Hats off to Zappos as always!

The boots are super cute with pants tucked in and I even threw them on with a pair of ankle high pants I had on for house cleaning and needed to run out to the store--I kinda liked the look. I was apprehensive about the height but they kind of remind me of hockey skates. If I had a complaint it is is where the top hits my calf; it's a little annoying when I drive but then I sit waaaay back so my foot is stretched probably further than people normally extend their foot and ankle when wearing boots. I recommend and apparently others think they're cute because I had 3 people randomly stop me at work to ask about them. Side note: I live in Michigan where we want to be warm and dry yet still have some kind of style.

Loved the style, loved the look, loved the color. But wow, for a Sorel, these are plenty narrow. I've been a "B" width my whole life, but these really squeezed my feet, particularly in the toe box which had not a bit of roominess at all. I supposed Sorel made a shoe that was a but more trendy and cool than the clunky boots, but these are for narrow feet. Totally bummed. Thought I'd finally ended by search for the perfect winter shoe.

I love these boots. Living in Michigan, I need something comfy yet warm and these are it. I have several pairs of Sorel boots and love them all but these by far are my favorites. I get so many compliments on them. I did find that I had to order up a size. I normally wear anywhere from an 8 to an 8 1/2 depending on the brand and I ordered the size 9 based on others reviews and was glad I did. Buy these, you won't be sorry.

I highly recommend these boots! Not only do they keep my feet and toes dry and warm, they look good with jeans, leggings and with my snow bib as well. I've worn them in the snow, when it's raining and even when it's just cold out. I usually wear a size 8 and purchased a size 8. I have wide feet and I made sure to wear these at least once to break them in before actually using them in the snow which paid off. They fit perfectly even with thick snow socks!

These boots are so cute and comfortable. I went up a half size based off of other reviews and they fit great. I can even wear thick socks with them. There was no need to break them in either; I was able to wear them for a full day right away with no problems. They are a little more brown than green, but still very cute.

I read the other reviews and ordered a 1/2 size up, but could have ordered my true size. The boots are naturally warm, so you don't NEED to wear thick socks with them, but if you plan to, then I'd say to order a 1/2 size up. I love them and they are super cute, warm, and comfy, but since I did order a 1/2 size up, I can now ONLY wear them with a thicker sock. Just something to consider.

The boot is pretty stiff the first couple wears, but I have come to live in these this winter. Stylish and warm for any outing.

Love these boots. Warm and comfy and great for every day use. Most said to size up, so I did a half size bigger, I don't think it was needed. I would have been fine with my normal 8. Would definitely purchase again.
