Really comfy and warm, and great traction for my winter dog walks in snowy Minnesota.

Love these boots. They keep my feet warm and are waterproof. Perfect for NYC snowstorms we've been having. Just a little heavy, so keep that in mind. But overall love it.

I typically wear a 10.5-11, I ordered these in an 11 and they fit great!
I bought these a few weeks ago and they came just in time for the bitter temperatures in the midwest. I am a teacher and use these for work. I am outside in sometimes 0*F (not counting wind chill) weather, for up to 30 minutes, twice a day. It was actively snowing, or freezing rain twice and my feet have stayed cozy dry.
These had great traction while I was helping little kids get into their cars, and I wasn't afraid to step in puddles or the snow drifts that pile up on the side of the curb.
There is a minute where they don't grip as well on tile while they are still wet, but they very quickly dry.
They are comfy enough to wear all day.
I also like that the laces are not too difficult. I have owned snow boots where I have to fully loosen the laces to put my feet in. With these, I can fit my foot in comfortably without unlacing, and tighten them up quickly.

These boots are extremely warm and provide excellent water protection. I use mine walking around an island in the St. Lawerence River, which includes using them to snowshoe. They are good on ice and snow. I went down a half size which was the right decision. They are cumbersome but that is a small price to pay for the warmth, durability and functionality provided.

Seriously top notch for the price point and maybe even one above it. I live in an ice prone part of the country and these things even have grip when the ground is slippery. Check these out if you're into the design and structure.

Never have I ever thought I would need a pair of Sorel winter boots living in the Deep South. However, life just happens, and here I am, in middle of Wisconsin experiencing negative Fahrenheit temperature. I didn't know that was possible, but it was, apparently. I got this pair right before winter storm came in Wisconsin, so I got to experience how great these are against cold/snow/wet ground.
Pros:
- Really, really warm. I went outside to go grab some food/groceries, and my feet were warm. It was funny experience because I couldn't feel my thighs but I could feel my feet/toes.
- Is very waterproof. I like walking in the snow. Didn't have much chance to see snow in regular basis, so I had lots of fun with it this winter. When I came back inside, only my feet stayed dry.
- Basically does its job. It's waterproof winter boots. It is waterproof and for winter weather.
Design/size:
-I usually wear size 8 for tennis shoes. I have high and wide instep, so even though I didn't plan on wearing thick socks, I got 8.5. They fit nicely. Not too tight where I need to put bandaids on my heel but not too big where I trip over my feet either. Very comfy as well. Walked miles wearing these and my feet weren't in pain. But I advise going with your normal foot size, though. Unless you have high/wide instep like me or wear THICK socks.
- They are... cute. Very cute. Got lots of compliments from my friends and my mom. Keep in mind that my mom is very direct with her opinions. When she says they are cute, they are cute.

True to size, extremely comfortable and work great in the snow. They have great grippers on the bottom that keep you from slipping.

I purchased these for my friend for Christmas. She had another pair that were probably 25 years old and were a little sad! I did my homework reading customer comments as far as a recommended size and she LOVES them!

I bought these boots in 1990 for snowboarding. Back then you removed the liner and put ski boot liners in, the you ducked taped the ankles!
30 years later my 13 yo son, my 17 yo daughter and myself are all fighting over who gets to wear them as we are currently all the same shoe size. I'm here to buy another pair as these boots last a lifetime.

These boots fit like a glove the very 1st time I'm put them on. I went ice fishing the day after I received them. No shin discomfort at all and they were true to sizing. My feet were toasty all day long. I'm ordering my wife a pair right now!

I am experiencing my very first winter in Chicago and knew I needed a good snow boot for playing and traveling in the snow. These boots provide excellent warmth in very thick snow. I tested them out in at least a foot of fresh snow and not only did they keep my feet warm, but they also kept the snow out! Some of the roads have started to get icy and I will say that these do not provide the best traction for icy conditions, but they still get the job done. If you don't think you will be walking during icy conditions then I think these boots will be good for you.
I normally wear a size 5.5 but after reading reviews, I ordered a size 5 and they fit perfectly!!! I'm so glad I listened to the reviews. My feet are on the narrow side so I didn't find the width uncomfortable. I didn't find these boots to be too heavy like some other reviewers described. I go on daily walks around the neighborhood and my feet and legs feel just fine afterwards.

Gave these boots to my son for Christmas and he LOVES them! We live in Canada, so it's very snowy and crazy cold! And these boots are wonderful, warm and oh-so-stylish. Big thumbs up!

I was adamant that I didn't need a new pair of boots like my partner told me. Heck, I was wrong. These things are amazing boots that I found out are the same as my dad got...35 years ago and he still wears them! I'm excited to follow in his boot-steps. They are warm, comfortable, and I can tell well made. I even toss them on barefoot to take the dog outside quick and they do not chafe or provide any discomfort.

I recently started snowshoeing and needed a shorter boot. These are perfect - both with the height and they keep my feet so warm. I live in Minneapolis and took these boots with me to northern Minnesota in January. Even in frigid cold, my feet never even felt a chill.

I bought these a month ago for playing in the mountains. They have been warm. The best part is the additional grip of a traditional hiking book.

From surviving slippery grocery store parking lots, to winter dogpark trips, to snow shoveling, these boots do it all with comfort, a great fit, and excellent style. They do a great job of keeping the snow out and feet warm.

These boots are very comfortable and warm. I love the classic look, the quintessential winter boot. Many reviews say to buy a size done as the boots are large; however, I had to trade in my usual shoe size of 11 for 11.5 in these guys. That extra half size made the perfect difference for me. Also, be aware that these boots are mega chunky, so getting in and out of a vehicle and driving take some getting used to. Still, they do their job extremely well, keeping my feet comfortable, warm and dry, even when wearing them for hours.

My first pair I got when I was 14 years old and after 37 years, had to let them go finally because the tread was gone. pulled the trigger after I had none for 6 years and best purchase because they still live up to my first pair. Bought size 6 1/2 as I have a high instep and wear a 7 normally in shoes. Just change out the liner every three years and the boot will last another 37 years. Better traction on this boot. Large toe box too. Regular socks are enough.
