Way to narrow across the ball of the foot.

These boots run very small and lack basic comfort. I considered maybe buying an insert to add cushion and arch support but they shoes were too small for that anyway. I sent them back but don't think they'll be comfortable enough to try again in a bigger size. I hope that Sorel works on making boots appropriate for all day wear and lots of walking by focusing on comfort and support in the future.

These fit awesome! Love the look and removable insoles. I have a terrible time finding comfortable boots for my problem feet (plantar fasciitis, bunions, need wide toe box, flat footed, not too high heel) and these are perfect. They're super comfortable even without my own orthotics, but of course more ideal and wearing them for long periods of time with my own insoles. I feel so stylish and prepared for the rainy PNW.

I mostly like them but they are a little stiff. I have a slightly high arch so the top of my foot gets kinda sore unless I wear a thick sock that has a good amount of padding on top. I don't usually have trouble with lace up boots or my Born zip up boots. Definitely not good for a lot of walking but they were bought for work and casual wear.

This is my second pair, the first ones I bought in black and wear them constantly. This color is the perfect taupe, that goes with everything. They are comfortable, cute, waterproof and true to size. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful boots that are durable and comfortable. I have a pair from 5+ years ago in black, and I decided I needed brown ones. The black ones are an 8 1/2 and fit perfectly, so I ordered the same size in the brown. They were way too big. I returned them and got an 8, and they fit very well. I tell people, "I forget that I have shoes on when I wear these." That's how comfortable they are. My feet are very narrow as well as flat, so I sometimes have to settle for uncomfortable shoes, and I'm so happy that I have these to wear in the wintery, wet weather. They hold up well!

These fit my 6.5 foot perfectly. Cute, waterproof, nice colors. I added Major this fall and I remain very satisfied with these boots.

Gorgeous boots that I know I'll be wearing for years to come. Worth the price! Classic and well made.

Nice boot but too narrow for me - my foot is a 10.5 wide so often I can wear an 11 medium comfortably, but in this case it was just too narrow. Sadly it doesn't seem to come in wider widths. Very nice boot for a narrower foot.

This is exactly the short boot I'm looking for--waterproof, good traction, nice simple top of oiled black leather with stretch panels instead of zippers. I was hoping a 9M would fit my 9N foot with my orthotics in, but no. They are too loose without the orthotics and too tight with them. I am so sad to have to return them. A wonderful boot for you lucky B width folks!

I own a similar pair of Sorel boots that are about 2 years old, size 9. I was surprised that these in a size 9 were huge on me. Possibly even more than a half size too big. They went back.

I love the shoe. I have been eyeing this style for a LONG time. At first, I bought my normal shoe size but they were too tight on the top of my foot so I returned them and bought a half size up. Now they feel a little too big but they work with a thicker sock. Wish they fit better but I still love them.

I ordered my usual size and they are so very narrow/tight for me. I don’t usually order wide width but if I did these would be a no way- heads up to any wide width ppl. I’m exchanging for a size up to see if that will help. They’re really cute and practical so I hope sizing up will help with the width issue!

I really wanted to love these but they are so tight and uncomfortable. For such an expensive pair of boots, I was expecting them to fit much better.

I loved the look and color of the boot but I COULD NOT get it on without a lot of difficulty. Even using a shoe horn didn't help. Don't need a boot I can't get on my foot.

It took tooooooooooooo long to get my feet into the boot. Once I got them on they felt very comfortable and true to size and width and they did look nice on my feet. I'm accustomed to slipping my boots on/off without exerting unnecessary energy. I would say this boot style are for smaller calves, even with the elastic side. If you have patience, make the purchase otherwise RETURN like I did.

Nice boot but too difficult to put on since there is no zipper, leg part is too snug, foot size is ok

I could barely cram my foot into these, and when I did they pinched a LOT - VERY narrow!

I found these to be really stiff. Not good for walking. No flexibility. The top edge was scratchy. They look really pretty but not practical at all.

They were cute and seemed like good quality, but the stiff material bruised my ankle right out of the box. Sent them back.

New design doesn't fit like the old Emelie boots I've worn for years. The shaft is taller and smaller/tighter so they rub on my lower calf and bruise my legs. Miss the old ones. The quality appears fine but I cant wear them so who knows.
