These are not dressy boots for skirts. These are fabulously warm, super comfortable CLASSIC snow proof cold winter boots. My foot is short and wide. I can wiggle my toes in the nice round end. I got 1/2 size larger for extra layers of socks and my feet tend to be claustrophobic--the laces tighten up and hold my foot in place.

These boots are very wide and generously sized. I had to wear a thick pair of wool socks to take up the added width. The boots keep your feet very warm but the rubber bottom started splitting within the first year. They are also heavy so if you do a lot of walking expect to have leg fatigue.

After a horrendous NYC winter last year, I decided to invest in a pair of legit winter boots so my poor toes don't freeze off. Of all the winter boots out there, Sorel really has some of the nicest looking ones, including this. Unfortunately, I decided to return it for the following reasons: - I'm petite so these boots look HUGE on me - They're really heavy and you feel like you're getting a work out. I only had them on for a few min. trying them out so I can't even imagine what a few hours will feel like I realize that's it's built that way to keep your feet warm but for me, I just need something lighter and less bulky. Luckily, I found another pair of Sorel boots that alleviated the 2 issues below. It's the Sorel Women's 1964 Pac Graphic 15 Boot. Much lighter and it didn't make me feet like ridiculous. Also, those boots keep your feet warm up to -25 degrees F whereas these boots can go up to -45 degrees F.

Lived in MI all my life and have yet to find boots that keep my feel warm. The next couple months will tell if I've found my pair! The boots feel great on my feet due to the thickness of the liner. The soles of the boots will keep your feet off the ground a good inch or more so I'm hoping for warmth!

I was really concerned about these boots because although they look gorgeous in pics a number of reviewers said they were heavy. I'm petite, 5'2 and they aren't heavy at all. Sturdy perhaps which is exactly what I need to ensure I don't fall in the snow and ice during one of Boston's increasingly common crazy blizzard winters. These boots are warm, stylish and I feel good in them. Pleased I invested in these. I'm tired of replacing Uggs every year.

I wanted some legit, warm snow boots to wear throughout the winter; with skinny jeans, leggings, etc. These are unfortunately a little too legit. I returned these because they're just too heavy duty. I had read reviews saying they were too heavy, but thought I could handle it. Nope. I would only wear these if I was going to shovel some snow. No way are they practical enough to wear with every day outfits. Bummer. Great quality though. Usually wear a 9-9 1/2, and the 8 was perfect.

I ordered these shoes in a size 10 and they made my feet look huge. When I first opened the box, I thought that I had mistakenly ordered men's boots rather than women's because of their bulkiness. Having a pretty large foot for a girl, I really did not like them. That being said, I do have to say that if you are looking for durable snow shoes, these are the shoes for you! They are extremely well made. My feet would 100% stay warm in them during the winter. I wish that the front of the boot was not so circular so they would look less clown-like.

These are the best boots I have ever, and will probably ever own. They are comfortable, waterproof, good looking, and well build. They are so solid I feel as if I could go hiking on a snowy mountain, and my feet wouldn't feel a drop of water.
I have wide size 13 feet, and its very difficult for me to find shoes. Though these are 12s, they can fit very comfortably, with some room left.They are also a bit clunky, but thats to be expected with heavy winter boots like this.
The last NY winter was awful, and completely destroyed my shoes. Now I cant think l of how I could survive without these boots.

Have them for 16yrs. Just wear them when I sell at the farmers market each year.Make sure you wear woolen socks
and your feet will never feel cold again.

I love my sorels. However you must buy a whole size smaller, thanks to the reviews I learned this before having to return them. I'm usually a 8.5 so I bought a 7.5 and they fit perfectly. These boots are also quite heavy, but dealing with the Upper Pennisula, MI winters they are perfect!

I ordered this product from Zappos on line and it fit perfectly. I was hesitant to order on line as I am uncomfortable getting anything unless I try thing before trying them on, but this was the best experience I had. the ordering was easy, I got the product in few days and saved on gas! how? I did not have to go through the hassle of driving from one place to another to get disappointed and not find the size I wear. Great experience.

I need to return these boots. I am a women's size 12, they are marked 12 but they are definitely a men's size 10. They are the same boot (wide) as my husbands size 10.

Love these boots. After reading the reviews saying they run big, I decided to size down a 1/2 size. Good thing I did. They fit perfect. I won't know how well they fair in the snow/cold just yet, but I love the look, feel and comfort!

I live in New England. After Sorel was recommended to me over a popular pair of boots by a well-known Northern New England outdoor clothing / boot manufacturer from one of their own staff - I knew I had to get a pair. Massachusetts was buried in snow during the 2014-15 winter season. Defeated, I bought these boots at the end of January thinking it was impulsive - we would not get much more snow, and I was wrong! We got crushed! These boots were everything I needed to get through this brutal winter. I never slipped in them, never got water in them, they were perfect! I ordered shale, and the color is beautiful too! They're a bit on the heavy side - but that's necessary for the quality and performance. They run a little large - but that is key to being able to wear a pair of good wool socks, and also to tuck loose pant legs into. Plus, they look good as new even after the abuse they took. I can tell I have many, many more winters using my Sorel Caribou Boots. Best impulse buy ever!

I wanted to love these boots so badly - but they are just not very practical or helpful. For starters, they weigh about 15 lbs (slight exaggeration, but very heavy) and are trip-worthy. They are not easy to walk in or sit in. On top of that, they do not actually keep your feet warm. The insulation doesn't do too much. I live in Chicago and wanted to invest in a great warm pair of boots - these sure are an investment, but just not great for actual snow and cold.

I'm a true 10.5. Every shoe, sneaker, sandal, snowboarding boot, etc. I own is a 10.5. After ordering 3 different sizes I wound up with a 9.5 size, and they still feel big.... I do like the style and warmth, but I'm not hiking thru frozen tundra for days. I'm just shoveling the driveway we it snows and going sleigh riding with the kids, so they are perfect for me.

Be advised that these boot's run a full size large. If you are normally an 7 across the board, order a 6. As long as you order the correct size, these boot's are comfortable, warm & waterproof. A little heavy, but depending on what you're doing, that may not be a bad thing.

These just arrived today. I was looking for something to take for a winter trip to the north cape, and I think these will be perfect. According to their size chart, I needed a 9.5. I normally wear a 10, and based on other reviews, I ordered a half size larger. So, I ordered the 10.5. They are very roomy, but when I add a thick sock, they are perfect. I may have been able to get away with a 10, but they weren't available so I'll just stick with these and wear the socks. The tag says they will be good for up to -40 degrees f. They seem a bit heavy, but again, I want to be nice and warm. I'm sure they will be great as well for shoveling snow this winter as well.

I needed a good boot to keep my feet warm and dry while I waited at the bus stop in the winter. This boot was definitely warm enough. Also used it for walks in the winter time. They are a bit bulky for walks but kept my feet warm.

No boot I have ever owned matches these boots for sub zero NY weather.
It gives me confidence on the worst days that at least my feet wont freeze or get cold when I leave the protection of the house.
Sorel, its my Go to Boot.

I bought a man's boot as I have a very wide foot and I was extremely pleased with this boot. I was out in below zero weather in Alaska for 10 days and never had cold feet! Highly recommend this boot.

Bought these for my girlfriend after a brutally cold snowmobiling trip to Vt. a few weeks ago. Her old boots couldn't handle the subzero temps. Record cold & snow in the NE this winter. Went back to Vt. last weekend for another trip and her feet were so warm & toasty she was running around in the deep white stuff like a little girl again. These boots are WARM, comfortable & stylish!
