So cute! I love these boots - they're not super cushy and comfortable on the inside, but they are fine for what they are. Also - beware -- don't wear them with tights -- they'll snag 'em!

I ordered them 1/2 size bigger, but they are too big. I’m getting my reg. size now. They are so pretty, look great w/jeans tucked in. Not so sure how they'd look w/the jean over, though.

So cute and comfy! These shoes are so cute! They look nice and so far haven't given me any blisters, even after walking around the city (which is a big achievement)!

Awesome boots - I love these boots! They look great, plenty of room in the calf to tuck jeans into, and they look great with skirts, too. I love that there is a little bit of a heel, but they are really easy to walk in - you don't feel the heel at all.

Comfy, basic boot - This is a very comfy boot. Fits true to size, looks more expensive than it actually is, and all in all is a great boot. I'm very pleased with this boot.

Cute boot with nice style. Looks great with jeans. Don't think these boots will last more than one season, but if you are OK with that, they are great. Not much sole padding, but otherwise very comfortable.

I am very happy with the Sorel Conquest. I found them hard to get in and out the first 2 weeks. I also have a plate with screws on one of my ankles (after surgery, from a fall many years ago...was given the choice to leave it in or take it out...left it in). The stiffness of the boot rubbed against the ankle with the plate and screws making it very uncomfortable (pain). Thought I would have to get rid of the boots. Decided to keep the boot loose by not tying the boot strings too tight. This helped and in a week or two of constantly wearing it, the boot loosened up around the ankle area. This led me to think maybe the material of the boot eventually conforms to the shape of the foot (not sure) or perhaps it's just the material getting broken in. Now I can tighten the boot laces tight and my ankle doesn't feel a thing. What a change from the start. Wow, glad that worked out because I really like the overall look and feel of the boot. I really thought about getting rid of it but glad I waited a bit. I also have the Sorel Glacier. Now, in the coldest of weather and not moving around much the Conquest does get cold. So, they will not replace something like a Glacier for really cold days (-32*C with windchill). If you are moving around, the Conquest is just fine with thermal type socks which I wear with the Glacier as well. Today it was -20*C with little wind. I couldn't access my Glacier which would be the boot of choice for trudging in deep snow due to its much higher profile. I closed the gaiter down on the Conquest instead and waded in knee deep snow for much of the day. It performed really well! I didn't think it would but it did. Wow, that gaiter on the Conquest really came in handy today. I really like this boot! It saved the day. Although the temp was -20*C my feet was not cold with the Conquest. I use a thermal sock. There was little wind and I was moving around so that must have helped.

Very cute! Got these in gray which look really cute. The sole is a little thin but the boot in general is very comfortable. There is plenty of space in the calf. I think they fit just a tad bigger than they should, but nothing thick socks can't fix.

Poor Quality, Bad Fit - I was really disappointed in the craftsmanship of this boot. I'm not expecting stellar, but at least halfway decent would be nice. The suede looked like it was about to rip or fall apart. I could also see my toes through the toe box even though I got a 7.5. .

The best shoes I ever bought! I was amazed at how comfortable and nice looking these shoes are. They are true to fit and feel more comfortable than bedroom slippers. I have very wide feet and problems with fallen arches at both the sides and balls of my feet as well as inflammation in the tendons of my feet, so I'm just miserable if my shoes are not comfortable, which is usually the case. These shoes are the exception and I'll be ordering another pair in a different color.

These are just about the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I'm on my feet a lot and the discomfort I used to have with shoes I wore before just isn't a problem with these. I've bought several pairs and it's been a Godsend.

Absolutely beautiful dressy shoes, but if you have a very wide foot you will not be able to wear these. I wear a size 8ww and have a wide boxy foot with high arches, I was not even able to get my foot all the way in these shoes-- first time I've ever experienced this with any shoe marked 8ww. So I'd say these shoes are better for people with narrow feet.

I absolutely love this shoe. After I received the black, I immediately ordered the blue. They are wonderfully comfortable, true to size, and stylish. I would not recommond for people with wide feet. These are very stylish without being too trendy. They are very polished and professional looking for 'business casual' wear at the office. I absolutely love them.

The only shoe in years that truly fit my wide feet! I own two pairs of the Trotter Ash (fudge and navy). I wear a 9ww and usually buy a 10w in other brands because ww are too difficult to find in a fashionable style. So basically, my shoes are too big. But since I have brought the Trotters Ash, I can't image wearing anything other than Trotters. These shoes really wear wonderfully on my feet. I know this sounds like a commerical, but I truly mean it. My husband wants me to buy several to have forever, so that I'll never be without my Trotters. He can't believe I finally found a shoe that fits my feet. We are both elated. So please make them in more colors (olive, tan, grey,). Thank you, T.Jenkins
