Where I would like to begin is to address the overall quality of these booties/boots. I have the blackened brown color & I love the color! It is really nice & can go with multiple outfits. The leather is really nice & super smooth. The heal is just enough- not too high or too short. These are just slip ons, there is no zipper, just elastic towards the top as pictured. So, putting them on & taking them off is very simple. The only thing I don't like is the stitching/seam across the top of the foot of the boot. I'm not sure if my pictures show it well enough. Although, it is very secure & not loose, it really impacts the comfort while wearing these. These have been worn three times so far (initial try-on, an evening out to dinner & an afternoon of running errands). All of the three times I had socks/nylons of different thicknesses & the comfort level overall, didn't change. Every step I can feel that seam. There is also no cushion within the inside of the boots/booties so the bottoms of my feet became sore pretty quickly in comparison to some of my other boots. After a few hours, I just couldn't stand to keep them on which is unfortunate because I love the look/style/color! I'm hoping I can find a solution to covering that seam & adding some additional cushion/support, so I can try & continue to enjoy these overtime.

Clearly not for me, I have high arches and wide feet. So it's the same problem I have with any non-lace-up boots - a struggle to get my foot into them (high arches) and uncomfortably narrow if I can get the boot on. They are terrific looking and I suspect quite comfortable and walk-able for the right foot. I should know better by now to skip this style but, really, they do look amazing.

I hesitated for a while before buying these because I had a hard time seeing from the pictures if they would be cute. I went with the Velvet tan. They are super cute. The fit is true to size if I wear them barefoot or with thin socks. They are new and I wore them today with mid weight smart wool socks and they were snug. For thick socks I'd recommend ordering up a half size.
I plan to wear them with joggers or skinny fit pants/jeans. Very cute style, a nice everyday bootie that works with lots of different looks. Very comfortable, the thick rubber sole provides good cushioning and the heel feels lower than it looks. I think I could wear these all day and feel comfortable.
Thank you, Sorel, for another adorable, versatile, comfortable style boot! Oh yeah and waterproof, are you kidding me?!

*Beautifully-made* bootie in the Omega Taupe Gum 2 (light taupe) with fabulous styling! Femininely rugged. The waterproofed suede is like butter, and the front cross seam fools the eye to make the boot look small. No part of the boot rubs the wrong way. The toe box is toe-friendly. The boot is super flexible, which some may not like if they have foot issues. Thanks to smashing my toes for decades in Danskos (I don’t care how many podiatrists recommend them, they destroy the big toe joint), I had to have surgery for joint impingement, which fixed it. If you have the hallus rigidus I used to have, this boot will be too flexible. The cut is definitely narrow. I’m fine-boned with a long narrow foot with a smallish heel. I don’t know if my arches are high, but I can see wearing extra arch support in these. There’s plenty of vertical space for a super high arch insert. For me, they really required some ‘English’ to get on, but I figured it out.
I’ll be wearing them this fall and winter with dresses, skinny corduroys, and jeans. Tights and heavy socks. Especially anything gold, olive green, navy, burgundy, winter white, or brown! Oh, and I’m about to wear them to an informal October ‘western themed’ wedding with my new matching Stetson!’

These boots are so cute. Very well made and so comfortable to wear. They go with just anything jeans, dresses, shorts, whatever your style may be. They are comfortable to wear just to the store or at work all day, without hurting your feet. No blisters just comfortable shoes the dress any outfit up. I love the way they are made , and boxed. You can tell they take pride in their shoes by the way they are made. Just love this brand, and boots.

I love these and have worn them almost daily since they arrived. They look great with most of my closet and are very comfortable. I did order a half size up after seeing others' comments about width (I'm normally a 9 and went for 9.5, which is about right!). The width is just right for me, and there's a little bit of wiggle room for my toes, which I think will let me get away with a thicker pair of socks in the winter.

These booties are gorgeous!. As soon as you open the box you get that rich leather smell which for me just makes me happy. The quality of these booties is amazing they are thick and sturdy and you don't feel like they are going to fall apart after a few wears. They have an awesome sole with good traction so you can wear these in the winter without worrying about slipping and falling. My only complaint is the top of the shoe is tight on my feet so if you have fat feet like me you would want to take that into consideration, I'm not sure if they can be stretched out alittle but I may look into it cause I love love love these boots

I love these! I have a ‘large’ but fine boned foot (10 1/2, narrow heel and thin). I’m trying to reopen my wardrobe palate from navies, dark browns, and black, so am broadening to enjoy the lighter — especially taupe (to match my new Dooney and Bourke bags and new Stetson)! These booties are gorgeous boot-gauge suede, fit amazingly, and make my foot look smaller with their cross-foot detail. The soles are rugged but undeniably feminine, enough that I’ll be wearing them to an informal wedding with a dress in October. Ordinarily, I would have rejected these out-of-hand due to the close to 2 1/2 inch heel, but I actually feel stable walking in them. I’ve skinny jeans and pants, and these so up my game.

These run small— I have 2 pairs of Sorel sandals and 1 pair of wedges in 9 1/2 that fit perfectly— these were tight and narrow- had to return for size 10.

I love the casual style of these beautiful booties! The high quality leather material provides waterproofing and includes having an upper flexible collar making them easier to get in and out of. The bottom of rubber insoles have just the right traction for all year round wear while the insulated footbed provided extra foot comfort and support when wearing them for extended periods of time.

When I saw these I fell in love! These are super cute boots! I honestly didn't think they wher going to fit, Cause my foot is so odd, like their short but wide, and I usually have to get a 10, but they didn't have a 10. So I got them anyway and when they got here, they are so beautiful!! I tried them on and they actually for PERFECTLY!! I was shocked honestly. And they are so comfy and even make me a little taller lol which was a bonus. I would totally recommend.

I have been wearing these working in a restaurant. They are comfortable, good looking and the rubber sole gives me great stability on slippery floors. They run a little small. I usually wear 8.5 or 9. I went with the 9. They are still a little snug at the widest part of my foot or with a thick sock but they are breaking in nicely.

Perfect pair of black booties! Heel height is nice for a casual look. I’m usually in between size 10-11 and the 10.5 fit perfectly! Definitely recommend trying these out.
