I wanted to love these boots, because I’ve been eyeing them for a while. Unfortunately, I could barely get my right foot in and couldn’t get my left in at all due to my high arches. I know they’re great boots for someone, but not for me.

Great boots. Took a bit to get used to how big/bulky they are but I like them. No problems driving in them.

Love these boots! I bought them during a late-February sale, thinking I wouldn't get any use out of them until next year, and then lo and behold, it's snowed the first day of March and is still snowing now. These were difficult to get into at first - had to stretch out the ankle area in order to jam my foot in. I think this will get easier over time, and once they're on they feel great.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
This is my 4th winter with these boots. I made it through 2.5 winters with regular wear before the insides wore thin and gave me terrible blisters. I love them and got good wear out of them for a while—but I do expect boots of this quality to last more than 3 years.

Great boot. Was told to go up a half size to full size. I got 7.5 but my size is 7. I think I definitely could have gotten true to size as it is a bit loose but otherwise fantastic boot and nice and cozy warm.

I love the boots. They run a half size small and if you don’t get a bigger one you will struggle yo get your foot in. They are not giving in the ankle area when pulling them on. I love that they are super cute and warm for snowy weather!

As a resident of upstate NY years ago ( Saranac Lake), I know how critically important it is to have warm, reliable boots. When there’s 2+ feet of snow on the ground and thermometers dip to minus 50 F, Sorel’s are “the boot” to count on to deliver! I am satisfied this recent purchase will bring years of warmth and comfort- and they look good! My first pair the original pac boot, survived a move west where I got another 5 years wear. As the climate changes here in the Pacific Northwest to more snow, colder, longer winters—investing in well made boots is the right way to go! Money well spent!

I was so looking forward to wearing these boots, unfortunately due to my high instep I could not get my foot into the boot. I don’t think going up a size will help the narrow opening at the base of the boot. There is NO give.

I bought these because the boots I had been wearing since 2002 (a different brand) had finally given out. I hadn't worn Sorel's since the 1990's when I would go snowboarding as a teen. I forgot how amazing they are - comfy, warm, waterproof. I honestly don't do a lot in them but shovel snow and walk, but they're very comfortable and I'd recommend them to anyone. I would say though, because they seem to run larger than my usual shoe size (10 mens in Vans) that you should make sure they fit you well. Definitely make sure they fit well if you plan to do a lot of outdoor activity like hiking and long walks on a regular basis to make sure you don't get a blister. Maybe go a half size smaller unless you're planning to wear thick socks. But one note about thick socks - these boots are so warm! You really won't need them unless you're literally going to be in 40 below zero weather, or if your feet are perpetually cold.

They are cute and seem warm but never ended up using them because the insert kept coming out when I would try to take them off which made it difficult and annoying. Returned them.

I was looking for a pair of snow boots that were rated to be warm for my feet and were cute. I have had Sorel boots before, they were my son's old ones and I loved them because they would keep my feet warm while I shoveled snow. This year there has been so much snow the need to wear boots more frequently made me want a more feminine pair. These are super cute and I have worn them not only to shovel snow but also out and about for the day. Quality, comfort and style all in one boot, thanks Sorel!

Order these just in time for another snowstorm. My feet were kept warm and dry even during long periods outside. I ordered a 10 instead of my usual 9.5 just in case I wanted to wear an extra pair of thick socks. Based on them I could have ordered my normal size and been fine to have plenty of room for thick socks. Highly recommend. Very comfortable and durable.

I purchased these to wear next year during the end of season sale. I haven't purchased Sorel snow boots in decades. They appear to be well made and hopefully will be warm in the snow. I ordered a size 6, my normal shoe size in almost any shoe, and they fit fine. I can even wear a heavier sock. I didn't have any problem putting them on or taking them off.

I used the steel toed caribou boot in the 1980's when I was in the Material Department of the BN Railroad in Minneapolis. This caribou boot is the same but without the steel toe. It is very comfortable and does keep my feet warm. Ed Burns Retired Railroader, Minneapolis, MN

These boots are worth the buy. These boots have kept me feet super warm with the recent below zero temps. They are a heavy boot and it took some time getting use to, especially driving. But I did get use to their bulky-ness and they are much more fashionable then my previous boots.

I absolutely love these boots!! They keep your feet so warm and are cute!! They might feel a smidge small but a half size bigger would have been too big. Great investment!!

?????? these! They were true to size and were perfect for a snow-filled long weekend in Kansas City. Kept my feet warm and I didn’t lose grip on the icy sidewalks. A definite keeper!

This winter has been one for the books in WI and I'm thankful to have these super cute, stylish, yet durable boots. I've wanted a pair for forever and finally made the jump. They fit pretty true to size, and have kept both my feet and legs warm in the cold and snow. I now wonder why I waited so long to get a good pair of boots! Definitely recommend!
