These boots are super warm and great for wintery days! Love wearing them in the snow because they have traction and don't slip around!

Oh my gosh, first these are huge! And I have a size 10 foot so I looked like big foot! Second it was so hard to get them on but to get it off I needed help as they were so stuck. I got another par of sorel that look similar but much smaller footprint and easier to get on

I LOVE them! I was a bit worried because I had achilles tendon surgery so I was concerned about them being heavy on my ankle but they are so cozy and snug around my ankle! HUNTY let me tell you living in BUFFALO NY and dealing with the snow these are a MUST!!!

These boots are not nearly as warm as you think they might be. My little tootsies froze!

The size and width were fine. However, there was something strange about the back of this boot. The left shoe cut in and pressed uncomfortably on my achilles. Perhaps this is just an issue with the specific shoe rather than overall design because this didn't happen with the right.

Overall, these are excellent snow boots. Keep you warm and dry! They are true to size. I wear 7.5 typically and that is the size I have in this boot. They have a wide toe box which is nice because I have wider feet. The only con I have is that they are very chunky and not very easy to take on and off.

I ordered my normal size of 7.5. I was so excited to get them but when I tried to put them on, I couldn't get my foot in the boot. I unlaced it but still couldn't. Maybe I should have ordered a size bigger. I will be returning.

Perfect winter boots for MN winters but I sized up 1/2 size to make room for wool socks.

Ordered my normal size 10 and they fit perfectly. For reference I bought the out n about in a size 10.5. Love these boots! Haven’t worn them out yet but they are very cute and I can tell they will be warm.

These boots rip open my Achilles heel with every wear. The junction between the lower, stiffer part of the boot and the upper softer area nips and and it is so painful. The rubber soles are also not very flexible, so I found them to be really uncomfortable to clomp around in all day long.

I’ll try not to ramble here. Hubby says I talk too much.. I bought the 9.5 womens. I read the reviews did all my homework.. yet sadly had to exchange for my NORMAL size! Everyone saying order 1/2 or whole size up. Ah .. no. I wear a 9 always got the 9.5.. I wear heavy ski socks.. they were so big that just taking 12 steps (thick socks on)... I could feel heel slipping up & down. Way too big. Great shoe! Super cute! My. Normal size 9 is on the way. As usual, Zappos is very helpful w returns. But beware of Anyone telling telling or typing to order up. Not needed at all. FYI I never leave feedback. Thought I’d save someone a exchange.

Stylish, warm and comfy. I usually wear a 10.5-11 but ordered a 10 and it fits. They run a little wide so that may account for the difference. They have kept me warm and dry in over a foot of snow. Very happy so far!

Very hard to get my foot in to the boot. Normally I am 9-9.5 and I ordered 9.5 and it was very tight with normal sock.

I have had 2 previous JOAN of arc women's boots in 6.5 which were great. I wore them both until they were falling apart but both lasted several winters. I went on and bought the exact same boot in the same size. I cannot even get my foot in it. The instep portion is so low to the sole that my foot will not slide in. The fur portion seems to be higher quality than previous and I like the fancier laces but it doesn't work if you can't get your foot in the boot :(

I've had them for two years now as a gift. They still look as good when I first got them. SNOW, WATER, MUD, anything they will protect your feet. They're difficult to get on and off though.
They can protect your feet from dropping things and are tough. I worked with dogs in the mud and they're still perfect.

I LOVE these boots. I'm a PNW photographer and often do engagement and maternity shoots in the snow and rain. These keep my keep my feet nice and toasty, and dry! I get compliments on them all the time!

These are my first pair of Sorel boots and I love them. The color I chose was Camel Brown. They're so pretty and feel very warm. They are also quite comfortable. I was able to wear them around Breckinridge in the snow and not stop slip. Only complaint I have is for some reason my right boot feels heavier than my left.
They run true to size but at the same time sort of small, so the 10 was actually too big.

I usually take an 11 in boots but with these, the 10.5 felt better. I rarely wear socks with them, but I still have some room to wear socks if needed. Even in the freezing cold and snow, my feet stayed warm. I love the style - hate the work to take them off, but they are so cute!

My rain boots are not insulated so I had to search for something to handle snow. These boots are cute, but they are also insulated, waterproof, and roomy enough to wear thick socks and add arch support if you need it. I took these to the arctic and they kept my feet warm and dry. At times I was up to my knees in snow. They can be hard to get on or off because of the laces but being able to lace the uppers more tightly means the snow doesn't get in. I did have to add crampons for walking on ice. Looking forward to using these boots on many snow days in the near future!

These feel like they could take you through any weather, but BOY are they heavy! I opted for the Tivoli VI Tall by Sorel instead. They felt equally as sturdy and warm, but a lot lighter.

My last pair of Sorel's got me through 6 Midwest winters; I noticed last year they were losing their insulation. I bought these as a replacement, and they are so comfy and warm. I think they are very true to size. They look great and they are my new favorites!
