Initially only found the black color in stock but I was so happy with the look and feel that I knew I had to get the tan as well! They’re super comfortable, warm and cozy, and definitely TRUE TO SIZE. You need to know your Sorel size which can be tricky- I’m a 9.5/10 in other brands, sometimes a 9 if they run big. In Sorel boots, a 9.5 always fits perfectly with some room and these are no different. Not sure about the other reviews claiming you must size up - maybe they’re not familiar with Sorel sizing. I’ve seen sites that only sell whole sizes, so if you’re between sizes and lean mostly towards the larger, I’d size up. Even if they’re roomy you can make up for it with thick socks.

Exactly what I was looking for. I was on the hunt for a warm, waterproof, lightweight, comfortable boot with good traction that I could wear in spring and fall while walking my dogs. Something cute with more of a sneaker sole. This boot meets all those requirements and it looks amazing too. I love the tan color and the fun orange laces. I should've known Sorel would have what I was looking for. I have worn the 1964 boot for the last 9 winters. Would highly recommend these kinetic conquest boots!

Wow! I live in Montana with all the winter elements. And these are the most comfortable Sorel boots I have ever owned. Super light & warm. Good traction. These boots were sold out everywhere. I got lucky because somebody returned a pair and I immediately jumped on them. I hope Sorel makes more!

I ordered a half size up to be able to wear thick socks with these, but they fit perfectly with thin athletic socks, which is fine because these boots are cozy and a lot more insulated than I expected. I don’t think I’ll have to wear thick socks with them even in much colder weather. These boots are very comfortable, hiked in them almost immediately and had no issue with blisters or sore feet. The design is great, really happy with how they look. They’re also lightweight and have good flexibility even with the chunky sole. Definitely recommend these, just order a half size up!

I LOVE these booties! They’re super warm and lightweight. I usually wear a 10 and a 10.5 fit me perfectly in these. I actually bought these in the tan and the black not knowing which I’d like better. I’m keeping the tan but HATE these bright orange laces. Like… WHY?!?! The laces on the black shoe would’ve looked great on both colors. Other than that, I’ve no complaint!

I went with the reviews and went up a half size from my normal 8.5 and they fit but have extra room for sure. About a thumbnail of room on my smaller left foot but with a nice comfy sock I think the fit will be perfect. Although I probably could have stuck with my normal size. I have the out-n-about rain boots and those seem to be a bit small so I thought I would follow the crowd. Overall beautiful boot, worth the wait as they have been sold out everywhere in the tan. In Love with these!

Can I just say -- these are so cute!! I went with my true size 5, and it fit fine. I don't have wide feet and so without socks, it's roomy, and with thick socks, it's cozy. I'm sure if I wear these outside, it will turn heads because it is definitely a looker. I can't wait to wear these in the snow!

These are so comfortable. Kept my feet warm and dry during my honeymoon in Scotland! No breaking in period needed. The kinetic sole is genius because I walked for hours and my back did not hurt at all and my feet weren't sore either! No blisters or awkward rubbing. These shoes are magnificent and perfect for kicking it around town in rain or snow!

Received mine in the color black, yesterday & they are beautiful for a boot-sneaker. I am always 10 1/2 in Kinetic Sneaks & an 11 in boots. 10 1/2 in this boot was a good fit. I have an average width foot & Sorel boots are sometimes narrow, making you size up for a comfortable fit. This boot fits wide & takes care of the infamous "toe box problem." They're cushioned & thick enough that you wouldn't have to wear thick socks, but the boot would conform, if needed.Highly recommended & stick with your regular size.

I am always an 8 in Sorels. There is a bit more room in these than others, but that allows for a thicker sock. I wore these on a 5 mile the first day I got them. So comfortable! Great for outdoor walks.

I bought these to wear in colder weather for walking/short hikes, errands, etc. Upon initially putting them on, they felt great (they are a little bulky in looks). I have high arches, and regular width feet, but after walking 1-2 miles in them my pinky toes were rubbing against the sides of the boot, and my toes were scrunched = painful blisters. The toe box is really tight! Sorel is so inconsistent with their sizing. I am torn because otherwise, they are very comfortable and no back, heel, or arch pain when walking long distances for me, which is rare. Because they are leather, I am hoping they will stretch a bit so I can keep wearing them; otherwise, I may need to send them back :( also, I normally wear a size 5 and purchased the size 5, and they fit great length-wise with some room to spare, but toe box is the stickler (too narrow/tight). May be best suited for people with narrow feet.

I bought these lovely boots in the autumn thinking I was set for my dog walks as the weather deteriorated, great for the rain, kept my feet dry and warm, snow and ice boots not fit for purpose...I think there is a design flaw, although the sole appears to have a thick tred, it is actually a flat surface which provides ZERO grip...would not recommend for this reason

These are exactly what I was looking for - a winter boot that is light enough to go on long walks but warm enough to be comfortable in a Wisconsin winter. I have some other warmer snow boots but they are too heavy for long walks, so these were a great addition to the winter rotation. You can also wear them running errands and look a little more put together.

Bought these with the intention of wearing for snowy walks. Tested these in warmer weather and they were great, feels like wearing tennis shoes. My first outing was a 3 mile dog walk and I wore ankle socks (oops) so they rubbed and caused blistering on the back of one exposed upper ankle area. But that was my fault, definitely need to wear tall socks. Finally got them out on a snowy walk this week for another 3 miles (wore talk socks!) and they were great. Feet stayed dry and warm, very comfy

Loved these boots but had to return. Comfy, TTS, and nice and warm! However the top of these boots came up to an unflattering part above my ankle that cut my foot off and made my legs look like short stumps lol. At 5’4” I’m trying to elongate my legs rather than make them look shorter so I was super sad to send these back. I think these look best on longer legs. I ended up with the sorel out and about wedge instead which I’m super happy with though.

I haven't gotten to wear them in the snow yet, but I got splashed, cartoon style, by a car driving through a puddle and my feet were the only part of me that stayed dry and warm. Very comfy, no need to break in as long as you wear thicker socks.

Best purchase ever! Took these to Colorado and the grip, comfort, and warmth on them was phenomenal. It was mid October when snow had just covered some of the trails and higher elevation lakes were frozen. My husband (who is a tactical gear guru), was using ice spikes with his hiking boots, and still slipping some, and I had no issues… no ice spikes either!! ? So the shoes don’t just look fierce/grippy… they ARE! On sizing, I’m a true 10 and went with 10.5 per reviews. It was the right call.

I got these for Christmas from my husband. They are so comfy and cute! I have a wide foot and normally size up a half size. Based on reviews I did not do that and my usual 71/2 fits perfectly and allows for socks too. I will wear these next year too! May get a pair in another color soon.

Bought these in green because I adored the brown ones I purchased so much. I usually wear a 6.5 in sorel and purchased a 7. They fit perfectly. So comfortable, stylish and functional for MN winters!

I almost always need a half size up in Sorel and these were no different. I am an 8 about 90% of the time and sometimes a 7.5 about 10% of the time and the 8.5 fit great with normal socks. They are a little clunkier than expected and lacing them up can be kind of a pain.

These boots are comfortable and warm, BUT they are NOT for slippery surfaces such as ice or even packed snow. They do not have enough traction for icy conditions. Very dangerous. They're okay for soft, powdery snow.

I love these boots! I can safely wear them in the snow and my feet stay warm and dry, and they are comfortable and cute. I typically wear a size 10 but based on other reviews sized up to a 10 1/2 and am glad I did. They fit perfectly with a pair of socks. Buy them, you won't be disappointed!

Normally wear a size 8 in sandals, 8.5 in sneakers and boots. I got a 9 in these since Sorel tend to run small. The 9 fit perfectly. Grey is a really nice color and they were very warm and comfortable in 20 degree weather.

I absolutely love these hiking boots (waterproof). They fit perfect and we’re comfortable right out of the box. I returned them because I was looking for a boot I could wear more with skirts too. If not for that I would have bought these. They are worth the money.
