Customer Reviews SOREL Snowlion™

Water RESISTANT- not water PROOF- First, let me say- Zappos rocks. I have bought all kinds of shoes from here, and even had to return a pair once, and the process/customer service is above par. In terms of the boots: haven't worn them in snowy conditions yet, but I can tell two important things already: they are warm and sturdy- the bottoms seem to be heavy and provide traction. My feet slide in really easily, and it goes up to my knee. My only criticism- and if I had realized this before, I wouldn't have bought them- is that they're only water resistant, not waterproof. What's the point of making a winter boot that's not waterproof? Also- while, it felt true to size, it is a roomy shoe, so if you wear thick socks, you're fine.

Way too big and clunky for a woman's snow boot. They look like the style of men's workboots, just in white. Also, too heavy. Sadly I'll be returning these.

Lasted one month; ripped ppart on the back seam, and the fabric shredded. Very 'cute' boot - but not for real winter wear.

Sad to send this back - My old Sorel's sprung a leak, so I've been in search of a new pair of winter boots. This was perfect...a tall shaft, rubber boot, and thick lining. I ordered them (in black) late Saturday night and they arrived before noon today. When I opened the box, all I could think of was, "Herman Munster." What the heck, I was looking for warmth and waterproofing. I wore them around the house for an hour. What a workout! I wear and 11. These shoes fit fine, even with a thick sock. One problem. These are the heaviest boots I've ever worn. I put them on the scale and the pair weighed in at a whooping 4.8 pounds! Living in Chicago, I do a lot of walking, so if I kept these boots, I'd end up with legs the size of Arnold, not to mention fatigue. Thanks for the fast delivery, but it's back to the drawing board for me.

Big and bulky. Very unattractive.

Tear in Materials - I was really excited about my boots I ordered after reading all the great reviews and just knowing Sorel's reputation. Sadly, my upper tore above the heel about 10 days into receiving the boots. I didn't wear them in any unusual circumstances, mainly back and forth to work. I will be returning the boots back. I really appreciate Zappos great shipping policy.
