Sorel, please help as your shoe sizes are all over the place- these run very large. Returned, sad.

This boot is designed for looks only, and not for comfort. The old kinetic boot was one of Sorel's best boots. If you have flat feet this boot is not for you. I wear 7.5 - 8 and had to order a size 7 - this design runs large. The footbed has been redesigned from the previous kinetic boot and does not accommodate well to most feet. Very disappointed in this boot. The old kinetic boot design fits like a glove and is extremely comfortable.

These fit very well in my regular size. They are wider and roomier than any of my other Sorel boots. I can wear thin or thick socks and walk all day and my feet feel great. They spot clean really well too. Definitely like the extra room in my normal size for thicker socks. These are so cute with the pink bottom, and they go with everything.

I'm a 11.5, so I ordered both a 12M and 11M. The 12M was huge. The 11M fit was perfect. I wore it around the house for a few days and noticed a few things. the arch support hits (at least for me) in back of my arch. This caused some pain. I also noticed pain on the outside of my ankles. I put the shoes back in the box and decided to revisit them a few weeks later. Sadly, I had the same issue, so I had to return them. This is a very cute boot, though.
I'd also recommend:

It definitely runs slightly larger. I own several Sorel shoes, boots, sandals and this is the first time ever that shoe gels slightly loose. But since I am wearing this with medium to thick socks, it works fine.

Super comfortable. I wear between a 5.5 and 6 in street shoe and 6.5 running shoe and I ordered a 6 in these and even with a thick sock they are still comfy and not too tight. Love the colors and the slight lift with the thick sole.

I run between 7.5 and 8 - or 38 or 39 depending every shoe I buy! I have to buy 2 pair of shoes when shopping online. For me, this particular shoe was slightly longer. I am ordering the 7.5, returning the 8. However, I LOVE these cool - hiker/sneaker. I love them and they're not heavy at all. Very comfortable and stylish. I am only 5'2" so I love the little lift I get with them.

These are the most comfortable boots I own. And great on the ice! These run wide enough to wear with a thick sock. If you have a narrow foot, they may be a bit big. Just the right amount of warmth for winter, and keep my feet dry in the snow, slush and rain. I actually bought a second pair so I could wear one for outdoor dirty work and keep one nice.

This is a comparison between this boot and the Women's ONA RMX Chukka Bootie. I ordered both and kept the ONA. I went up 1/2 size in the ONA and went down 1/2 size in the Kinetic. Overall, the Kinetic Impact Caribou Boot was the most comfortable. The Kinetic had better foot support and better laces. I kept the ONA, based solely on looks. It looked to me like more of a hiking boot and less of a tennis shoe. Overall the fit and feel isn't bad--just not quite as good as the Kinetic. I feel like I could have stayed true to size, but thick socks would have been uncomfortable to wear.

I love these shoes. Very comfortable and warm. I sized down half a size and they fit perfectly. I usually wear a 7 and I bought a 6 1/2. I have had many compliments on these shoes. I am a nurse practitioner, and I wear them to work every day.

They are awesome I just don't like that I had to return them as they get big. I went from an 81/2 to an 8 and still are big.

Quick delivery. The shoes appear to be maybe returned shoes from a previous customer. They still look new and the bottoms are pristine but there were a little debris on them. Maybe from poor storage ?????. I tried them on and at first I thought they were too big but once I adjusted the laces they fit great. They are roomy which is fine because I have wide feet. I’m keeping them although I have my suspicions about their newness lol.

I bought shoes from your company previously and it is always like the perfect fit for my size but this time it is a little too big and wide for my feet. But I love the quality of the brand. I have a few pairs.

Really frustrated with Sorel sizing these days. I bought this shoe in last year's style, size 7 and it was too small. I was excited to purchase in this years style (so lovely), but the same size is now too big. In the same order, I ordered a pair of boots, also in 7, too small. It is extra frustrating to have to pay for return shipping for inconsistent sizing.

My regular size was way too big and put them back in the box to size down. NOT SO FAST! Then, I got my thick insulated socks, which I will wear with these boots, and it was a PERFECT FIT. Lesson learned. I wear a 9.5 in Sorel and mine are a 9.5. Nice wide toe box and fashion forward. Perfect!

First time ever that I run into an oversized Sorel shoe. When I buy any type of winter like shoe, I normally order half size bigger so I can wear it comfortably with thick socks. This time, I ordered my regular size and they fell almost a full size bigger. It is fine since I will wear them with thick socks. However, if I wear them with regular socks, they fell very roomy.

LOVE these! Great for the northeast, when our weather is in-between winter and spring. It's still cold and wet outside, but snowboot weather has ended. Comfy, warm and comfortable.
