I usually wear a 10 wide (bunions). I thought I would try this bootie in an 11. The fit was good, a touch too long but I would of kept if the width was good. Definitely a true regular size width. With bunions - no way. Too tight.

Love the style of these boots. These boots don't have a zipper. I was unable to pull them on as my arch is too high to get in the top of the boot. Sending them back!

Love the fit and look of this boot. I have no issues with it. Fit perfect! Good quality. Love the tobacco color. I have a more narrow heel and a little wider forefoot. Wear a size 9 in most foot wear, and this was a perfect fit.

Love this brand!

I have three pairs of these boots in all different colors now. They are cute and weather resistant for the weather experienced here in the NE. What I also love about these boots is that they can be worn all day and not hurt my feet. I highly recommend.

My new Emelie III Chelsea boots are much dressier than I thought they would be. They are also so comfortable that I was able to stand for three hours in the cold to watch our grandson play ice hockey!!

Very comfortable shoe and seems like a good quality material. I have worn them several times now and realized that the opening around the ankle is pretty small. I wear a 8.5 so ordered a 9 so I would have extra room with wearing thicker socks in the colder months. But the opening around my ankle is too small and has actually left bruises around both of my ankles!

Big fan of the Sorel Emelie Chelsea boots. My only complaint is that they only last one to two seasons before they look spent. While I like the new design overall, this version ages quickly. I have had mine for 3 weeks and they look ragged already! Started to look at other brands for my winter boots.

They me my feet look longer than they are, and the shoes are difficult to put on. The top rubs against my ankles.

Something about the style that made them tighter for my wide feet. Almost kept because they were nice, but wide teacher feet would not make it.

I purchased these boots over two years ago. They have been on my feet through multiple, dusty music festivals, I've hiked in them, and during the fall and winter I wear them almost every day. They've got some creases from the wear but overall still look great. And they were comfortable from the very beginning! Highly recommend!

I loved this boot, but with no zipper, I couldn't begin to get my foot into the opening and down into the shoe. The stretch panels on both sides are too stiff to help at all. The opening either needs to be larger or put some true stretch in the side panels to help.

The boot is gorgeous! However, it felt too narrow for me. As soon as I put it on, I knew I could not wear this boot for more than five minutes. Sadly, I needed to return.

I've had a black pair for over 3 years and out of my 40 or so pairs of boots & booties (incl several other Sorels) these are my go to. They are light enough to span from Fall to Spring yet warm enough and water proof to wear throughout winter too. I've walked miles in these and even worn them to a rainy beach music fest on the sand. Warm, dry, comfortable, and cute.

I’m a small size 5 and have bunions and these boots fit perfectly. Wore them all day walking and standing and wasn’t in a rush to take them off at night. Can’t wait to get them in a different color.

The fit and size were fine. I always wear a 7 in a Sorel boot which is 1/2 size larger than most other shoes I own. I love the color (Major). I took off one star for two reasons: the quality of the suede was thin and not what I expected from Sorel. 2) There is virtually no arch support and my feet were achy and tired by the end of the day. I will need to put a sole or orthotic in these boots to continue wearing them. I was considering ordering a second color at first, but once these were delivered and worn, I think I will look for a different boot.
I'd also recommend:
Birkenstock, Born, Blondo

I love my Sorel snow boots but a bit disappointed in these ! I always wear a size 10 but these feel like I almost could wear a 9 1/2. I’m going to keep them but VERY wide in heel area I had to add insoles because no arch support! I even added them to the insoles that come with the boot My foot does tend to run narrow but these have my feet swimming in them. I’m just going to try thick socks and make do

Bought these for an upcoming trip to England. Super cute and comfortable. I’ve worn them all day for several days now and feet are still ok by days end. I’ll Probably get a good supportive insert before the trip.

To be honest, I was planning to buy a pair of Blundstones when I logged onto Zappos. These came up as an alternative suggestion, and they were about half the price. I ordered them in my normal size for boots (I like to wear socks and I have bunions), and they fit me perfectly. I think they would be too small with a wool sock, so it depends on how you plan to wear them. Personally, I think they look a little more feminine than the B'stones, and I really like the Tobacco color.

Too difficult to get on. I don’t think they will stretch enough to be comfortable. Like the style, just don’t work for my feet. I have average width and arches but still too snug across top of foot and elastic is really stiff.

I have narrow feet and it was a struggle to get my foot into these boots. Once in tried they were comfortable in the foot bed but rubbed in the ankle area. Really hard to get off too. Very cute style, but I don’t think I could deal with those issues daily.

Sadly had to return these boots. Loved the style and really wanted to like them but … they run very narrow and as a result were too difficult to pull on. I think that even if I ordered the version with the back zipper they still would have been to narrow for comfort.
