I love these boots! They are stylish and so cool looking. My foot is a size 8 but narrow so these fit me perfectly. If you have a wider foot then the toe box on this boot might be to narrow for you. They could be stretched out at your local shoe cobbler but that would be an extra expense. There is a decent amount of cushioning on the foot bed that makes them comfortable to walk in.

I LOVE THIS BOOT. Everything I've been looking for in a daily-wear boot: comfort, support, weather-safe, and heavily industrial style. I'll wear these until the sole cracks open, just like my last pair of Sorel boots. Runs very slightly small: I'm usually between a 7.5 and an 8, depending on the brand, and the 8 was perfect for me.

Reviews said these run HUGE. They don't. They run about a half size larger, only because they're heavy. I could have gotten my original size if my feet weren't so narrow. Very cool, all-purpose boot.

Something is happening because women's shoes sizes are changing. I wear 11 in everything but recently boots sizes changed a lot!!! This run a whole size bigger.

The sole on a size 8 is as big as a size 10/11 shoe. Unless you’re a size 5 or 6, these are not cute.

These are the BEST boots I've ever bought! They're waterproof and provide a nice grip while walking in wet conditions. Most importantly: they're so D*MN CUTE! I got a 7.5 after reading some reviews and they fit almost perfectly! I do wish I could try on a 7 to make sure the 7.5 is the best fit but with thick socks, it works out.

These are great boots, I get a lot of compliments on them. They aren't necessarily warm boots, but they look great! As far as sizing, if you want to wear these with thick socks so they serve as a true cold weather boot, then you need to size up, I would say a full size. But if you plan to wear thin socks with them (as I do) then you can order your true size. But for both, be warned that when the boots first arrive they will be stiff and tight. You need to wear them around the house for a good 3 days, let them stretch out, then they will fit perfectly. When mine first arrived in my normal size 6 they were crazy tight, but based upon other reviews I wore them around the house for about 3 days and they loosened up and now they fit perfectly. Again, I only wear thin socks with these, any sort of thick socks and you need to size up.

Really wanted to love these boots. They're beautiful. But they really hurt. They cut into my shins so much they bled. I wore them once & needed to take them off and walk with just socks in the NYC park.

As I mentioned in my previous review, I'm a true size 7.5. My shoes from Zara, Nike and Underarmour are all 7.5. To make sure I get the right fit, I went to Dillard's to try on different sizes. The size 7 pair are the best to my surprise. My feet aren't narrow.
Since they didn't have the color I wanted, I ordered online. I've been wearing these boots for a few weeks now and I'm very happy that I got them. Not only are they the most comfortable heeled boots I've owned but they also look cool and trendy. I'm already considering getting them in a different color!

Stylish, True to size, Incredibly comfortable, & lug sole is soft and shock absorbant. you can walk around all day in these and your feet will be fine. Pretty warm too since they’re leather. I’m normally size 9-9.5 and size 9.5 fits fine.

I bought these and the red n black because I couldn’t decide. I went with the green.
I put them on with cuffed boyfriend jeans and they were perfect. Comfortable, but feel like they run a bit small. I bought an 8 and need to wear light socks with them. 8.5 would have looked sloppy I think. Love the sole and back strap for interest. I can see these out in the mud and snow and think will just add to the rugged look.

A++ for style and comfort! I have fairly wide feet, but my usual size 7 fits perfectly - no pinching or straining anywhere, and the arch support is surprisingly good. The sole is absolutely the best part of the shoe. It looks tough and rugged, but seriously feels like walking on a lightweight cloud. I haven't tried on slippery surfaces yet, but have high hopes they'll be grippy enough.

The size is perfect but the top and sides are very narrow and tight. I did get a blister and a mark in my leg. Not my typical experience with Sorel but I still like the boots. I hope they break in easy,but I'd prefer not to have to break in a quality shoe.

These boots did not feel like the Sorel of yore - incredibly uncomfortable - rubbed against my foot and ankle in various places. I now have to buy Sorel on re-sale sites to find the old incredible and reliable quality and fit... I will keep trying on Zappos to see if I can find any Sorel that feels like it was made well with good quality materials. The company went from making a few things really really well to making a million options poorly. It is too bad. I LOVE my old Sorels.

Love the shoes. First few times wearing them they caused blisters on the inside of my heel. Never had Sorel do this. I currently have about 10 pairs. Hoping it will loosen up with more wear.

These are boots were exactly what I was looking for. Chunky fashionable hard wearing. I unfortunately had to return them as they were very uncomfortable on my heel !

These boots are everything! I got the white and they are super stylish, comfortable and the heel adds some dimension. The sole is perfect for super rainy days. I'm not afraid I'll slip. But you can also pair these with a little skirt for a cool 90s British vibe. I did get a half size larger because my foot is a little wide. It worked out perfectly.

I love the look of this boot and it is very comfortable. It was recommended to size up an entire size. I am a 7.5, and was skeptical of going to 8.5, so I settled for 8. I feel as for the length, I could have stuck to my usual 7.5. I am wearing thicker winter socks and they are still big. However, as many have reported, they are quite narrow. I have an average width foot and the feel snug. I am not bothered by this, yet it is noticeable. I do have room around the ankle, but I have smaller ankles. I can see that anyone with a thicker ankle would not appreciate this boot. I have worn them twice and already recycled the box, so I am stuck with the 8.

I thought these were very cute. I very much wanted to like them.
But I could not even get my foot inside. The top of the boot is tight and narrow. And there is essentially no give in the top part of the boot (despite the elastic insert). I could not get it to stretch to get my foot down into the footbed.

Love the look, but am finding them SO difficult to out on, I think because the opening and toe are strangely narrow. I do not have a wide foot at all, and though the size is right, getting these off and on is awful. Most days, I decide not to bother and wear something else. Not what I was expecting.

As a Sorel fan, I have to write this review to warn others like me. This was the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I've ever tried. I'm 7-7.5 and got 7.5, the size I wear with most Sorel shoes as they tend to run tight. I don't have wide feet and in some models I even wear narrow. These were excruciating. Might be at least one full size smaller than marked. They are super cute and look solid, but I put my feet on them and the pain was just surreal. A day later my instep is still sore.

I love the style but had to return the boots - they just didn't fit. Too narrow for my medium width feet.

These shoes are super cute and stylish however they are VERY uncomfortable and terrible to walk in. Very tight and hard to get on and off. They are stiff in the heel and caused blisters. Wish they were more comfy because they look really good on.
