Customer Reviews SOREL Tivoli™ IV Tall

I read quite a few reviews on this boot saying it was too narrow, but I have a narrow foot so I thought it would be ok. I ordered a half size bigger (9.5, as I'm usually a 9) as other reviewers had recommended, just in case. Upon opening the box, I immediately saw what others were talking about. The toe is cut like a dress shoe or something, with significant tapering. I tried it on with thin cotton socks and it felt way too small. I took a picture of the size 9.5 Sorel next to a size 9 New Balance. They look the same size, but they're much tighter on the inside than you'd expect. There's a dark band around the toe that makes it appear to be about the same amount of toe tapering as the New Balance, but it's almost like your foot can only fit into the light grey suede area. My toes were hitting the end of the boot, and my outer three toes were extremely squished to the point that it was uncomfortable. I was also disappointed in the lining. From the manufacturer photos, it appeared to be fur lined, but the fur only goes about an inch and a half down, and then there's just a thin fleece lining. The soles were super thick and heavy, which might be great for walking in snow but not for errands, etc. They were also shorter than I expected. I thought they'd be mid calf height but they hit just below your calf. Pretty disappointed in these for the price. Unfortunately, I'll be returning.

I bought these boots as my post-snowboarding boots aka walk around the snow resort without dying shoe and able to deal with the wet snow. So after a couple Tahoe snowboard trips, I can say these boots are definitely waterproof and VERY durable. I was able to trudge snow in these with no issues. I did slip very easily on ice on the pavement but unless you’re wearing metal spikes, you’re slipping. I did find these boots to be super stylish and not too clunky bulky for a snow shoe. I actually ended up wearing these into my work as a post recovery shoes. I found it was supportive and kind to my feet after snowboarding days so they became more than just a snow only boot. They sort of became my next stylish ugg. I will say that my feet were frozen from snowboarding and when I put them into this boot they didn’t warm up. I’m not sure if it wasn’t just my feet but in general, I do find these shoe size warm. I don’t think they’re as warm as Ugg’s since they have actual shearling everywhere but these are warm. I think if you had super cold feet prior to wearing the shoe, it will take forever to warm up... not sure. I haven’t worn these thru a super cold weather jaunt but I will in Colorado so I will update then. For now, I find them supportive and warm but not ugg warm. I think with the right socks it’s better but if you want the warmth of an ugg, maybe add an ugh sole and you’re good. It may be that the sole isn’t warm enough. I also put insulated soles into my snowboard boots for snow days so I think asking a boot to be perfectly warm and waterproof is crazy... sometimes you have to supplement. It’s waterproof so I’m happy. I find the laces sort of cumbersome but so cute. I may just order another next season.

I love these however I wore them sledding a couple of days ago and the feet were FREEZING! Cute if you want them for fashion but not for function.

I was wearing SOREL Tofino II last year, but they were bulky and not comfortable, so it was time to move on with a new pair. These look great, VERY comfortable, I'm very happy with the purchase. I wear size 8, and size 8 fits great!

When I first tried these on, I thought it wasn’t going to work. The boot is really narrow, but I decided to bring them with me on my trip anyway. Tried them on again & it was much better. They are a little more narrow than the Joan of Artics, I prefer these over the Joans. Joans felt way too clunky in the snow for me. These Tivolis felt lighter & smoother yet still provided warmth & waterproof protection while also being super stylish, from the slopes to the streets of shopping. These are the ones you’re looking for! If you have a more narrow than wide foot.

Looks great, comfortable, I love this new pair of SOREL boots!!! I normally wear size 8 and size 8 fits perfectly.

These are super cute boots. I got them to replace some North Face boots that awkwardly dig into my ankles when I walk. I was looking for something that has a more narrow ankle and these are it! My only problem (and reason I’m returning them) is that they are about a half size too small. There is no way with thick socks I can wear these and barefoot in Michigan winters, even if it’s a warm boot, also isn’t an option. They are a bit narrow, which I like because of my foot shape but if you don’t have long slender feet, these may not be for you.

Tried full and half sizes larger than my normal 9-1/2 M shoe size, based on reviews. After wearing both around the house, size 10 is the keeper. With mid-weight wool socks I have wiggle room for my toes, the fit doesn't feel sloppy, they're as feminine as a warm snow boot can be expected to look, and they aren't heavy. Purchased these to compliment my new Canada Goose Trillium parka (Graphite color), so I expect to be toasty warm this Winter!

I wanted to LOVE these, they are so cute. But the toe box pushed my toes together, so they had to go back.

These are amazing boots. I have them in the short and tall styles. I first ordered the shorter style in a size 11 and they are pretty snug, both in length and width. I have slightly narrow feet so it’s worked out. I decided to order these in a size 12 and they fit perfect. My advice, order a size up if you have big feet. Overall, they are solid boots. Stylish, well-made and they stand up to the intense winters of Idaho mountains. Highly recommend.

Absolutely loved these boots. I didn’t want to take them off they were so comfy. Sadly I have large calves and these didn’t look good on me, so I returned them.

I originally bought these boots in a size 7 without seeing that they run small. I sized up 1/2 a size and they were much better. Definitely size up if purchasing. These boots have been through the ringer with me. I work at a horse ranch so I am on my feet 8+ hours a day and have never had a blister or sore feet after wearing these. I bath horses in these and my feet stay dry, trudge through the mud and clean stalls and they have held up great (had them about 3 months and worn them almost daily). I have no complaints about them at all. I originally bought the curry colored pair, but decided to to go with the gray when sizing up and really like them. Great pair of boots for walking around casually in or having to do work in. Highly recommend.

I bought four styles of boot at the same time (2 Columbia, 2 Sorel) and these were my hands-down favorites. Heavy but not too, and very, very stylish. I take a 9.5 usually and had to return these in that size. Will try a 10 to see if it fits better.

LOVE!!! i tried the emilie lace and those cut right into my achilles so i tried these next and am so glad i did! they are super cute and soooo comfy. they have fantastic ankle support too which I love in a boot. the tread is fantastic too!

I love the look and feel of these boots but they do not run true to size. I am a solid 8.5 in 95% of shoes and I have had to return the 8.5 and 9 for larger sizes. Waiting on my 9.5 to get back in stock - wanted to comment that they run very small!
