Exactly what I was looking for! These are great functional Chelsea boots that give a nod to wanting to look put-together, too. Very lightweight and comfy. Size-wise, I run around either a 9 or 9.5; after seeing some reviews that these boots ran a little small, I chose the 9.5. Paired with a medium-thick sock, they fit great and I have no trouble slipping them on or off.

These shoes fit well, but the size I need is a half size bigger than what I order in other brands. They are incredibly lightweight! At first they were hard to get my feet into, but it's already getting easier to put them on after a few wears.

I was really excited about these but they were so uncomfortable all over. There was no arch support and they hurt to even put on. They are super cute, but will be returning.

Really like the color of these boots. You can tell they are well made and are very durable. I'd say you need somewhat of a narrow foot with them because I have a narrow foot and it's designed to be a tight slide on. When I received them, they have some light scratches already, which was disappointing and leads me to think they can get scuffs easily. The rubber soles on bottom are thick. This makes the boot heavier than any other boot I own. The chunkier boot look also makes my feet appear larger than they are.

These shoes are very slippery in the snow here in Alaska we have huge snow falls and I have slipped a few times now since I bought these shoes I wish they would make them more grippy for the slippery snow.

Not only are they super stylish and cute they are so comfy. I wore these for the first time for a few hour's walking around the zoo a good 2 miles at least. My only complaint was that i didnt wear long enough socks.

The Women's Hi-Line Chelsea exceeded my expectations. I purchased them to be my primary shoe for a trip to Ireland. We planned to do a lot of indoor and outdoor walking and these seemed to be a stylish, waterproof option. The boots arrived within days of my online order. I slipped them on and instantly knew they were going to be great. I chose to wear these boots on my flight to maximize my luggage space for other items. They were easy to slip on and off in airport security.The elasticized panels on the ankle made them feel comfortably snug and supportive when I was walking. This was an active trip with an average of 15,000 steps a day on indoor and outdoor surfaces. My feet stayed warm, dry, and very comfortable despite the weather and sometimes rough terrain. Remarkably, the boots look as good as they did the day I received them, without scuffs, tears, or significant signs of wear despite the abuse. I packed a 2nd pair of shoes for the trip, assuming that I would have some irritation and may regret bringing new boots on a trip that required a fair amount of walking. The other shoes never made it out of the suitcase. The Chelsea Boot was my daily shoe choice and will certainly be a go-to boot for daily wear.

These boots arrived just in time for fall weather, and I have been wearing them almost non-stop! The first thing I noticed about these boots is that they are very light, despite having a very sturdy look and feel to them. I also noticed right away how well-made and thoughtfully designed they are. The little pull tabs are great for pulling them on, and I love the stretchy areas on each side-it makes them feel secure and very comfortable. They are absolutely beautiful - they have a laidback yet stylish look to them. The suede is very soft and quickly gains scuffs, but that just adds character, in my opinion. They have also held up well to wet weather. They are quite comfortable, though I do wish they were slightly wider, as the sides of my feet do press against the sides of the boots ever so slightly. An absolutely amazing pair of boots that I can't wait to keep wearing.

I love these boots. Bought a size 10 first (I'm a 9.5 to 10) but these were about a half size small so sized up to a 10.5...perfect. Never had to go over a size 10 before but for these boots it was necessary and worth it. Great looking on, very comfortable, great quality. I have a wider foot and I had no issues pulling these boots on. The fact they were on sale at about 40% off was icing on the boot cake.

great "run around" boot in snow and wet conditions. Looks great with most any casual outfit. Fits true to size, I am usually an 8.5 in Sorel, and these fit perfectly in my normal size. Super comfy!

I typically wear a boot with a heel, but these are so fashionable and cute, I love them! I’m usually between an 8 1/2 and a 9. I ordered 8 1/2 and they’re perfect. I also like the color which I was surprised by. It’s like a Carhartt yellow.

These are the absolute perfect put-em-on-and-go boot. I live in the PNW, so comfortable, waterproof footwear is essential. These boots are not only totally waterproof, but also incredibly comfortable for everything from going to the store to taking the dog on a long walk in the rain/snow. I wasn't sure about the shape of the sole based on the online pictures but I took a risk and am SO glad I did. They are so cute, not at all odd looking, and are so incredibly lightweight. I truly can't say enough good things about these boots. I bought my normal size 12 in Sorel. I have a narrow foot with long toes and I was so glad the toe box stretched out to accommodate.

I am so so so in love with these boots! I threw my old ugly snow boots out now that I have these. They are amazing for the snowy streets of New York in winter but also just wearing them out causally. They are so comfy and I always get compliments on them!

I pretty much am a solid size 8 in shoes. I ordered an 8-1/2 in this boot and wear a medium weight sock. They fit great! I tried a heavier sock with them but a little too tight for me. They are very warm and I feel quite solid walking on snow and icy areas. Highly recommend. Did I mention they are quite comfortable!!

I love Sorel boots and have several pairs. This is the first time I have ordered my normal 7.5 and it was so narrow and small I could not even get my foot inside. This is the primary reason I’m returning them, but I don’t think I’m going to try another size. I’m going to try a different style, more like a snow boot this time

I would have given 5/5 stars except for the lack of traction on the bottom. I love the look of these, they're waterproof, you can easily wipe off dirt marks, and they're decently warm. I just returned from a trip to Tahoe and I was slipping excessively in the snow & on the sidewalks. I even fell over because of these shoes! My other friends had no issues walking on the snow with their shoes. I would suggest next model of Sorel chelsea boots they should invest in better snow traction.

These are very comfortable boots! I sized up half a size to have room for socks and it worked perfectly. The quality seems really nice and I think since they are waterproof that they will be fine in the snow. I hope the rubber soles will help with ice. One thing is, these look very masculine. I'm still trying to figure out how to wear these so that they look cute. That being said, sometimes comfort and function take priority and these will be my boots for those times.

Too narrow to wear with a winter/thicker sock. Have worn a solid 8 forever, and have always found Sorel 8s very comfortable. Have tried with a thinner sock and the fit feels a bit better, but thin socks don’t work for cold weather. Will try for a half size larger.
