I live in Minnesota (Minne-snow-ta)... It gets really cold here and snows alot during the winter. I bought these boots just because of our harsh winters. These boots run big like 1 size too big. They are extremely heavy!!! Very warm!!! The only problem is that they are too heavy to wear everyday. I can't even drive in them!!! But when we have a heavy snow fall they are great to shovel in. They definitely keep my feet warm!!! My only complaints are that they run too big and they are way to heavy. But they definitely are snow boots for sure!!

It ran a little small. I wore them all day in the cold wet swamps. They are a little heavy, though stylish. Can’t say very comfortable. And I’m usually a 9 and though it says runs trust size, they are tight with only a medium sock on

This was my first pair of Sorels, a few years back. With unpredictable Midwest winters, these have been fantastic on days when the snow is piled high, but you still must get out in it. I find them to be clunky and cumbersome for "running around," but my feet are always warm & dry. When walking in them, my gait resembles "walking in ski boots," but glam isn't the goal when the streets, sidewalks & parking lots are a slushy, snowy mess. As is the case with most of my Sorels, I am a solid 10.5 and sized up to an 11 for a perfect fit. (Minus the Tivoli IV, which requires sizing up at least a full size) No regrets about these. I usually pair them with fleece lined leggings and a long top or coat to balance things out.

These boots are both practical and alittle stylish !! They must be nice if my daughter tried to "borrow" them on me !!!! I like that they are tall so the deep snow doesn't get into your boots and we all ha e had and don't like that at all !!! Overall great boots

So, I have these boots in a size 9 from several years ago. They weren't offered in half sizes at the time. I am normally an 8.5. I ordered these in an 8 because the 9s are really too big. The sizing is weird, they aren't too small length-wise, but they are too tight where the tongue meets the boot. I couldn't get my foot in the boot. Now that the half sizes are available, I'll exchange for my normal size, 8.5, and hope they work out. I love my other pair, they're just too large.

These seem like great boots but I have slightly wide feet and these are too narrow for me. Bummer!

This is a great boot for update NY winter weather. The calf portion of the boot does run a bit snug so may want to order half size up.

Very high quality and stylish. My only complaint is that they are very heavy. It takes time to get used to walking in them.

These boots are very warm, perfect for the cold weather areas. These would be great for the snow which we don't get as much as I would like however I will take them to our trips to the snow:).

I ordered a size up based on other reviews saying ran small. I normally wear a size 9, ordered a size 10. They were WAAAY too big. I'm bummed I had to return them because they looked like great boots.

I was very exciting to get my boots, they are cute, fit true to size and so far seem to be waterproof. The only thing I'm disappointed about is that my feet still are cold.

I have wanted these boots for a while and finally orderd. Do fit a little tight on top of foot hopefully will loosen once broken in. Very warm.

Like the style but takes an effort to get these boots on and off. Hoping that will get better as they get broken in.

Seem to be very well made and comfortable boots. But my foot is a tad bit narrow so this boot did not fit me.

These boots are very warm and definitely water proof keeping your feet super dry. Love how they lace up in the front so that you have the option to either wear them super snug or super loose. I loved them so much I bought a pair for my daughter who is going to be going away to college in the Midwest where it gets really cold and wet. Highly recommend these boots and are super stylish too!

These are perfect. I went a half size up but I'm thinking I should have gone a whole size up. Other than that its great!!!

These boots keep your feet and calves nice and warm even on extremely cold days. Easy to fit boot leg jeans in them and still very comfortable.

Love my Sorels and it was time for a new pair. The laces really need to be loosened in order to get on, but then super comfy. And warm!! Size is good, maybe a touch snug, but I know the felt will wear in for a perfect fit for years to come. Only glitch, the loops I use for pulling on/up the boots are snaps and come unsnapped with the pulling. Make them loops, not snaps please.

I love these boots. I love the look of them! They do take some time to break in though. The back of the boot, above the heel rubs and it hurts. I've tried loosening them and even wearing thick socks and it still hurts. I hope they soften up a bit. Other than walking long distances in them, they're amazing! Super cute!

Boot was too wide in the foot and ankle. I have a narrow foot. Length was good. I wear a 7.5 shoe, purchased an 8.

Very comfortable and TTS. Works well with these cold and harsh midwest winters. Only reason not full on 5 stars. Thought the seam between the leather and lower boot would be seamless, but the leather is a bit more of an external seam. Does not leak but was expecting more of a flawless design.

It is a little difficult to put on. Even completely unlaced my heel has a hard time getting in. It is quite snug against the top of my foot. It seems to run a bit small. However once it is on your foot it is very comfortable and VERY warm and looks cute.
