Got these two days before our first snowfall. My feet were warm and not wet. Love them.

The foot actually felt ok on my wide feet. I'm a 7.5 wide and the 8 regular fit well. However, the calf part didn't work for my full calves and it felt stiff around that area.

Bought these for my daughter for Christmas gift. Sorrells are the best boots ever. I had a pair years ago. Lasted forever. She lives in Montana, and these boots will be perfect. Ordered 1/2 size up, for comfort and warmth.

I live in Florida and celebrating Christmas in Colorado with guaranteed snow, can't wait! I bought five pairs of sorel boots in different styles trying to figure out what will work to keep my feet dry n warm. These boots are so pretty but very stiff and need time (that I don't have)to be broken in so they went back! I kept 2 styles, the black Lola tall and Whitney tall...both adorable and snow worthy! I wear a size 7 shoe and ordered an 8.5 because I need room for chunky socks n Vionic shoe inserts for more support. They are the perfect size.

These are very nice boots and look warm, but were too short length wise, I returned. I'm normally a size 7.5 and ordered and 8 , my toes were touching the front of the boot.

I have high arches, and these boots will not work for me. With a GREAT amount of effort, I could *just* get a boot on my left foot. The boot feels warm and secure. It hugs my foot just right. It’s a bit roomy in the heel, but the boot seemed to hold my heel in place without slipping. The tongue is shorter than the rest of the boot, but I think the gusset would make it workable. However, I could not physically get the boot on my right foot. Even with the laces completely loosened, the boot is stitched in such a way that I could not push my arch through the opening. So sad! Had to return.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my Joan of Arctic boots! True to size and style. They have been so nice and warm on the cold winter days and nights in my mountain location. Absolutely love Cattail! My experience with Sorel has been above and BEYOND!

Love these boots!! Super comfortable and durable! They definitely can last a few heavy winters depending on how often you use them. In the winter months, I walk a couple of miles nearly every day. I know it’s time for a new pair or insole when the inside of the boot does begin to rub against my heel. Great in snow and ice.

I love wearing these winter boots. They are very warm and stylish. Keep my feet dry. Good traction in the winter weather. The ankle area is very loose- part of the design. My foot doesn't slip or anything, but the laces don't allow for a tight fit around the ankle if you are looking for that. I would recommend.

I bought these boots super excited to have these. Sadly when I wear them my toes go numb from being so cold. They appear to have zero insulation and nothing more than wearing rubber boots in the snow. Complete false advertising. I have given up after a few times wearing.
My uggs which are NOT waterproof do a better job of insulating my feet even wet! When winter boots can't keep feet from going numb in above zero temps they are just useless. It's unacceptable they sell and market these as winter weather proof boots.
When I called to complain and say they make my toes go numb they say oh well too bad we can't help you. Im trying to send back. I expected alot more from a brand name like Sorel.

These boots are SO cute, and they look like they'd be really warm too. Problem is, I can't even get my feet into them! I have somewhat of a high arch and despite unlacing them all the way down I just can't squeeze my foot into them. Even if I could shove it in (which would hurt) I know that this will drive me crazy all winter. So I have to return them.

These will keep you dry that’s for sure. They are beautiful. Not as warm as I hoped in the snow.

I've owned these boots for a while now... at LEAST five or six years. They've seen both Indiana and Colorado winters and they're still like brand new! I love the way they look and they keep my feet ultra warm (remember to wear wool socks with winter boots, cotton will only make your feet colder!) I have wide feet and they fit true to size, but keep in mind that winter boots should not fit like fashion boots... they need to be a bit roomy to properly keep your feet warm so expect them to feel just a tad too big.

I bought these to wear for Michigan winters. While I can't attest to the warmth yet because its fall, they are definitely comfortable and seem well made. My only complaint is the fur on the top was flat and smushed down. I hope some fluffing and time will fix the issue.

Not only do I receive lots of compliments but even at -20 F my feet are warm and comfortable. Great stability in snowy and icy conditions. Makes winter dressing fun.

I am in the unenviable position of having a bunion which widens my left foot drastically. I've had to order a large number of boots to find one that doesn't compress my affected foot. I know other (mostly) women have bunions so I question why more shoe and boot makers don't make a wide option. That being said, my options are to buy a women's somewhat roomy shoe or purchase men's boots. These Sorel boots are the first boots that are somewhat roomy. My only concern is once I wear them outside in the snow, they might start to hurt my feet and I won't have a back up pair. I bought these anyway because my spouse thinks they'e cute. I'm not a "cute" person but they don't look bad. Also, I had to order a size larger than I normally wear to help accommodate my deformed foot. I do strongly urge any woman with a bunion to consider these boots. Rest assured, I have tried every other pair out there.

Surprisingly, these boots were short in the toe. I wear an 11 to an 11.5, so I ordered a 12 hoping for lots of room for thick socks. They were wide enough, just hit at my toe. Not annoyingly enough to return them, not yet anyway. Normally I swim in size. 12. It’s weird.
