I have wide feet and bunions so finding a boot that fits is tough. Based on other recommendations I choose the suede because of more give and went up a half size. That gave me the width and a fairly thick sock gave me a fine fit in the rest of the boot. Glad to have tried these as I had several other misses I had to send back.

I am completely obsessed with these boots. They're the perfect height, SO comfortable (like wear all day out and about comfortable), so stylish, and seem very durable. We recently got snow where I'm at and this time of year it's always wet, heavy, slushy snow. These are the perfect boots for that. I was looking for something waterproof but not really a snowboot, this is that perfect shoe. I went up a half size and that gives me plenty of room for thick socks. Just buy these boots, you're going to be so stoked.

My feet are not wide but these shoes felt super narrow overall. Ordered a half size bigger than normal and still didn’t feel comfortable.

Very comfortable. I have a hard time getting shoes to fit. These fit me well. I have a medium width foot but my heel is very narrow. The boots work well for me.

I've got long, skinny feet with narrow heels and a narrow toe box, and I wear a size 10 in boots. These are my second pair of Sorels, and like the first pair I bought years ago and wore out, they're beautiful and fit my hard-to-fit feet comfortably. If you've got a super wide foot, or like wearing thicker socks with your boots, maybe consider sizing up.

These are so nice. I always run into the fashion/function issue with booties like these. Either they are cute but worthless for weather and other elements, or they are great for the outdoors but look ridiculous. These are perfect marriages of both. They are so sleek considering they are rainproof and could be useful on low-stakes hiking trips. Sorel makes tons of different boots and shoes which are really at the top of the quality game. The problem was I hadn't been able to find a "day to night" shoe in a matter of speaking. I can wear these to dinner or camping. That is incredibly rare and therefore I am going to name these the unicorn boots I've been looking for. I wouldn't hike the Appalachian trail in them, however, you could do worse in most other shoes. They run true to size. They are beyond comfortable and are chic while serving a purpose. They are perfect for rainy, colder weather. I love them so much. Cannot recommend them enough.

I was hesitate to buy my true size, 8, as I was worried it would be too narrow after reading a number of reviews. I have bunions and need some of that moderate width to provide for comfort and a good fit. I was worried that if I bought the next size up, it would be way too long (once again based on reviews). I could not be happier with this purchase. The 8 fit perfectly! The real test is how do your feet feel after wearing new footwear 4 hours, or 8 hours, or yet, wearing them 2 days in a row. Sometimes it takes a while to know if the new shoes/boots are really going to work well. I find myself wanting to wear these boots everyday as they are so very comfortable! My feet don't reject them after a certain amount of hours. The style is pleasing to me too. I have never had Sorel boots before and am so glad that I took the gamble on these as they are keepers and will inform future purchases of Sorel footwear!

These will be the boots I slip on everyday to go from the gym/yoga studio, running errands and everything else I do during the day. After the gym I put a skirt or tunic on over my leggings put these boots on and go about my day. They fit true to size. I'm a 7.5 to 8 in Fallen, Black and 8 fits great. I have a very high instep which these boots accommodate and I can slip them on without using my hands to pull them on. I love that about these boots. If you're on the fence, do it before your size and color are gone. I waited to long on the Emelie Chelsea and they sold out the color I wanted.

Perfect fit. I usually wear a 7 and the size was perfect. I have a high instep and they were snug but not tight and easy to get on and off. And super cute.

These boots are horrible! First they arrived all scratched and scuffed up which is not characteristic of Zappos. I've never had this problem with Zappos before so I forgive this one-off damaged product. However I am returning rather than exchanging because they are horribly uncomfortable. The spot where your toes bend causes a stiff crease in the boot that digs into your toes and is excruciatingly painful. Just a few steps in my bedroom and I was dying to get them off.

I bought these boots specifically for a cold-weather trip to Germany and France, and could not be more pleased! Wore them all day, every day of the 15-day trip, in cold, and in a bit of rain and snow. After several Christmas markets, lots of sightseeing, walking everywhere, and carrying all belongings in two backpacks, I can say these boots are perfect! They fit true to my size 8, they took lots of abuse, and are 100% waterproof! This is my first Zappos review, after purchasing shoes here for years. I am in the Uber on the way to the airport to return home; I will be ordering these boys in another color as a gift to myself!

I bought these shoes to wear while working winter craft fairs where I would be on my feet for 8 hours a day, but still wanted to look good and keep my feet warm. I needed something that looked nicer than running shoes, and these are perfect! These are my go to shoes and I wear them almost everyday now that it is cold here. They aren't great for traction on super slippery conditions, but I have worn them in light snow with no problem. I think I need another color to rotate with my black pair!

Super cute, and I love Sorel. But the 7.5 was too tight across the toe box. The 8 flipped in the heel. I felt it wouldn’t have been great for walking miles in Europe. I ultimately went with something that laced.

I've had and loved multiple pair of Sorels, so I was surprised to find that these fit differently than the others. These ran larger, and narrower than my other ones. Unfortunately, had to send them back.

Wow! These Chelsea style boots are great. I ordered and tried on 4-5 different Chelsea boots, and more than any other, these were quite comfortable right out of the box. The leather was ever so slightly stiff at first, but within 2-3 days they felt like gloves on my feet. The grade of leather on these Soren’s was better than the other more expensive brands. I’ve worn them thru snow and wet all winter, and I come home with dry feet every time. The leather continues to look great with no maintenance whatsoever.
I liked these boots also because they are slightly shorter than some of the others, and they looked better on my short legs.

Just what I was looking for: a cute, comfortable, versatile shoe for colder weather! Love that they slip on and off easily. They felt slightly narrow at first but it seems they are stretching a little as I wear them. I think they will last awhile- well made!

I've been wearing these boots almost every day this winter, here in New England. I walk a mile each way to work most days, and my feet have never hurt or been cold, and they are waterproof in puddles and have some traction on ice. They look great for both work and casual, and when they get messy I just rinse/wipe them off. I did replace the insole with my SOLE insoles-- the one it came with had a little arch support but not as much as I need. As Zappos suggested, I ordered up half a size, and they're good as long as I am wearing thick socks but my feet do slide around a little in thinner socks. My only mild complaint is I had hoped to wear them with skirts too, but I think they're too chunky to look good.
