Good looking shoe! Super comfy and warm. Definitely feels larger than marked and will be exchanging for a smaller size.

I wore these during NY's recent blizzard and absolutely loved them. They fit true to size and kept my feet super warm and dry

I purchased these in a 9 instead of my usual 8.5 after speaking with a customer service representative. They fit like a dream. They are very comfortable, no rubbing or digging at the back of the ankles as is common in the Joan of Arctic boots from Sorel. I walk around campus in nasty blizzard conditions and have no problems with them. They are completely waterproof, extremely warm, a little on the heavier side but not enough to be annoying, and super stylish! I can't tell you how many people I have seen with Sorel boots on campus. EVERY time I go to class I spot at least three people with them. Us Northerners know our boots! Get them, you will love them forever and they will last forever.

I usually wear a size 7, so I got a size 7, and it fits perfectly. There's also enough room (but not too much room) to wear thick socks. These are great for heavy snow and prolonged wear outside. Forewarning that they are hard to drive in since they are large around your foot and the ankle isn't super flexible.

These are my first pair of Sorels and I am obsessed! I love them so much. I wish it would snow everyday so I could wear them. They keep my feet very warm and yes are a bit heavy but you do get used to that, I mean they are snow boots.. I ordered a whole size down after reading the reviews (I'm a 7 1/2, I ordered a 6 1/2) and my boots fit perfectly.

I cannot live without this boot. I live in Colorado and it can be extremely cold. I have a ranch and I am outside at least 3xs a day doing barn chores. I have had my boots for almost 11 yrs. just now I got a hole in the sole. I need to replace them ASAP. They keep your feet warm and dry like no other boot. Love, love them.

I wear a 7.5 I purchased a 7.5 because reviews said these ran big and were clunky. True. I have plenty of room in the 7.5 These boots offer a lot of room. Very happy with the fit of these. Haven't played in the snow yet with them, but I'm sure they will be great!

WIDE FEET-LOOK NO FURTHER!! I have tried so many boots to find one that was warm enough for Idaho winters and yet fit my wide foot. Could not find any at N Face, and tried the sorel joan of the arctic, tivoli and glacy. Other than the glacy and the caribou, the rest could not accommodate a wide foot. I chose the glacy as an everyday type waterproof winter shoe and the caribou for snow. Even with my wide foot I can wear smart wool socks. The boots are heavy, weighed in at 5 lbs and are cumbersome to put on/off but the comfort of a boot that fits my wide foot is so worth it! I am happy to finally have found a wide boot that is warm. I bought 1/2 size smaller than normal if i don't buy wide and my normal size in a a wide width shoe.

I have been a fan of Sorel since I was in high school....ummmm that has been over 20 years. I just had to replace my 20 year old pair with a new one. These boots are made of great quality along with their cool stylish look. There was never a time that I didnt get a compliment! Love them and will continue to stay a fan. Great in the snow...rain...and cold. They are heavy at first but you get used to them quickly. I love them so much i bought my 8 year old a pair and she loves them just the same especially when we wear them together.

I've only had these shoes for about a month and a half but I am completely obsessed with them! The winters in Minnesota are very harsh and this winter is no exception. These boots have kept my feet warm in -25 degree weather and stabilized me on icy sidewalks. So if you live in the midwest and you're concerned about whether they keep you warm the inside is very well insulated with a thick inner sole and do a good job of protecting against cold weather. The quality of the boot so far is superb and they are really sturdy and constructed really well! I got these boots in the color buff and they have complemented all my outfits nicely. Overall I'm extremely pleased with this purchase and if you're on the fence of buying these, get them! They are worth the investment.

In all of my shoes I wear an 8.5. So I ordered an 8.5. I returned then for a 7.5 and they are perfect. I saw the fit thing on line after I got the first pair. It would have recommended an 8, which would still have been too big.

Been a few years since I purchased Sorel boots. I had forgotten how well they fit and the quality of construction. Anyone needing a product that will last for years and fit properly Sorel is for you!

Great winter boot in function, style and warmth. I just underwent major shoulder surgery and bought these in Stone Black so I don't slip. Amazing traction so far. I usually wear a 7-7.5 (sometimes 8) and finally bought these in a size 6 after trying and returning 7's and 6.5's which were both massive.

Great winter boots. They are really heavy is the only bad thing but it's not too bad. I'm happy with my purchase.

I've been wanting to order this boots since last winter, finally got around to getting a pair. Originally got a size 9. Quality was outstanding, the materials and the warmth of the boots was excellent.
I'm always walking around with cold feet and with these boots, no problem
I had to return the size 9 and exchange for a size 8. Be aware that they are very heavy weight, a lot heavier than I expected, but I get a lot of compliments on them whenever I wear them, people want to know where I got them.
I'm really glad I finally got them!

I was hoping to love these boots as the look of them are absolutely stunning. They are VERY well made and I'm sure they'd keep the cold out...But for me they are way too heavy and clunky, I mean they are like clown shoes and I couldn't imagine trying to walk or maneuver in deep snow with these things on. I live in Oregon where the winters aren't too crazy and I live in the Valley so for me to have this kind of boot is ridiculous, I do believe they would be perfect for Canada or Alaska or somewhere really harsh. The fit is weird also, it's a perfect fit but not, like it was hard to have a really thick sock on and then try to shove your foot into the boot, but once it was in there it felt fine and taking your foot out was annoying because the inner lining came completely out and I'd have to take it off my foot and shove it back in the boot, so I thought the size was odd. I think it'd be good to go half size up in my opinion. Overall I still think this boot is badass, just not for me. Hope this helps :) I do think it's worth every penny though and the build of the boot is insanely good.

These run large. Rather than going down a half or full-size and gambling on the fit, though, use the size chart and get the right size! I went that route and the boots fit perfectly.
The boots themselves are a bit heavy but they're very, very warm and completely waterproof.

I grew up wearing the old school Caribou, dad, daughter, everyone wore the same style..this was my first "women's" purchase, so was nervous about toe box being petite, narrow, ordered one size up, way too big...
My advice is to order your normal size, they say women's but they seem to be old school, universal "back in the day" fit.
I got a pair of Nike's from men's department, they were size 6, women's were out of stock in size 8, same situation, they don't run wider in mens.
I work outside, need waterproof, all day foot warmth, in 20-30 degrees.

Thankfully, I read the other reviews that said they run large. I ordered a 7.5 and usually wear a 8.5 and they fit perfectly!!! My first snow boot so they are bulky with limited ankle mobility but I thinks that's to be expected. Beautiful shoes. Very happy.

Ignore your normal size, measure in CM's with your thickest socks, use the fit guide and there will still be plenty of room to wiggle your toes without sizing up. Yes they are wide and accommodate double socks if needed. I normally buy all hiking boots in a 10, ordered 9.5 and could use a 9. Returning only because I don't live where I can use them more often than vacations.
