I was looking forward to these boots but theyre a size too small. Sorrels sizing chart isnt accurate. I had to return. Unfortunately the company doesnt do exchanges, I would have preferred to do that.

These boots are super warm and fairly stylish. They are really difficult to get on and off, even with the laces all the way loosened. Once on, it felt like the part on the top of my foot nar the ankle was being pinched a bit. They are also really heavy so I felt clumsy wearing them.

Fits narrow on my foot. No arch support at all and hard insole. Other than that they are cute.
I'd also recommend:
Baffin Cloe. Lots of cushion and warmth and not as narrow.

Husband bought this boot round a year ago, works outside shoveling and plowing, and after just a few months of wear, the sole of one boot separated from the boot and he had to have it repaired. Now with less than a month of shoveling again, he has to have the OTHER boots sole reattached to the boot! Back in the day, we NEVER had issues with our Sorels, never needing repair, and wearing them for YEARS; I am SO disappointed in Sorel current quality, and will not purchase ever again...

Cute boots for cold weather. They appear really well made and have a fun style if you have to live where there is snow! I wear a 12 and these were really short; my toes pushed on the front. I'm not sure if these run small or were mismarked. I would definitely recommend but you might consider sizing up, especially if you plan to wear with thick socks.

My daughters and I bought these boots for my husband for Christmas in 2020. We live in Colorado so he only wears them in winter. The rubber on the uppers has split completely through on both boots along the big toe side. One of the leather straps that held D-ring for laces has also torn off. His pair of Polar Sorels that he owned prior to these lasted over 20 years. Too bad quality is not at all the same.

They sure look cute but my feet and toes are FREEZING every time I wear them. Super disappointing for the price point. After buying I have had several friends say the same about Sorel boots. Makes me not want to buy the brand anymore.

I purchased these boots thinking they would be a good option for warm winter snow boots. Truth is I’ve been extremely disappointed. They do not keep your feet warm at all!!! We snowmobile in around 20 degree weather and my feet are cold every single time. My husband suggested I wear smart wool socks with a liner underneath the socks. That didn’t even work. For the price point these should be the warmest boots out. So disappointed that SOREL has not figure this out…..

I haven't warn them in the snow yet, but they are big stompers and I'm sure will do wonders for life at our winter cabin.

I wear a size 12 and my 2nd and 3rd toes are longer than my big toe. I was very disappointed that my toes touched the end of the boot. I am seriously bummed that I had to return these. No size 13s...

These boots fall short on warmth. I do not recommend these if you need to keep your feet warm in the winter. I believe these boots actually trap cold air. I couldn't be outside more than 20 minutes without my feet getting cold. Very cute boots, but not very functional.

These are cute, but fit at least a full size smaller. I'm an 11 and these felt like a 10. Also, they are probably more appropriate for people who have narrow feet. My toes were squished and uncomfortable. Not for me. Returned.

Northern Michigan winters along the Great Lakes can be absolute garbage. I am 5’1 and these come up about 2” under my knee. They are super warm and keep my feet really dry. As far as ice… it’s ice. These help, but if I said they’ll protect your from it entirely, I’d be lying. They’re a lot better on it than some boots I’ve owned through the years of winters I’ve spent here. The replaceable liner is a bonus, it means unless a dog eats one… I’ll be able to have these amazing boots for years to come.

My normal size (9) was too small, as was the 9.5 which I exchanged the 9 for, but more than that, these boots are just not comfortable. These are great looking, very stylish, but I can't imagine walking around in them.

Loved the look but tried two sizes (my normal size and half a size up) -- both too small, but more than that, these are just not comfortable . I can't imagine walking a mile in them.

Really pretty boot with great reviews for style, waterproofing, and warmth. For me, the fit was really snug and unmoving. No flexibility and felt like wearing a ski boot. Not sure if the next size up will help because the current size was tight but loose in the heel. This seems to be a common problem that I wish boot manufacturers would realize.

Buy the size you would in a hiking or running shoe. They also run wide so a really thick sock works great. A little on the heavy side but still ok.
