I would NOT recommend this boot. THEY ARE NOT WARM OR WATERPROOF! Very disappointing after a winter of wearing them. I tried to return but they wouldn't let me. My feet are freezing when I wear them. Expect a boot for winter that's only stylish- not warm or weatherproof.

I am a size 9 in boots and tennis shoes. I ordered a 9 but had to send them back to get a 9 1/2. I received the size 9 1/2 boots within a day. I never have a problem sending shoes back.
THe boots are warm and comfy. Very happy with them.

These are great boots. They are very well made and comfortable to wear. I think they would work really well in the snow with heavy socks. They are great in the rain.

I was super excited to get these boots because I'm obsessed with Sorel brand anything. I own quite a few pairs of Sorel boots already. I ended up having to order and send these back 3 times before I got the correct size. Sorel apparently doesn't fit true to size with all of their boots. When i finally got the size I needed I LOVED them, they are adorable and extremely warm. However, the back part, where the rubber meets the fabric, has a little lip on the inside of the boot. It rubs my heel/achilles raw. I have to make sure and wear extra thick socks in order for them to be remotely comfortable. Otherwise, great boot!

I LOVE these boots. They are much more narrow than the 1964 Sorel Boot which I found bulky and heavy. These are easy to get on and off once you get the hang of the laces plus they look great! I did order a half size up to fit thick socks.

I was very excited to get these. They were everything that I was hoping for except they are hard to take off without unlacing them all the way.

Although the styling of these boots is great, there is an uncomfortable ridge between the heel and achilles where the leather upper is sewn to weather proof bottom. They also ran a half size small which is a bummer for me as I wear a size 11; no going up a size for me. I returned them for another Sorel style which look great, fit well and are super comfortable.

I love these boots! I've bought sorrels before and they're about 1/2 size bigger than the normal chuck Taylor's I wear. These boots will last forever and look great for a long time. I just gave my Joan of Artics that I bought 5 years ago and those still looked awesome. Did I mention just how much I love these boots! ;)

I love(d)these. Today they officially cracked in half at the toe box. Once, I get home they will wind up in the trash. I got a good year and half out of them. I was hoping to make it through two winters. But, the Sorel Gods were not granting me my wish. To anyone who is thinking about purchasing them. I found these to be great for my wide toes, my big calves. I thought they made me look slimmer. I got nothing but compliments. These are the sexiest faux-combat boots you will wear. However, they do not last as long as UGGS and are the same price point. That's disappointing. However, I am going to repurchase because you can easily wear them with extra socks and you won't sweat to death when the temp goes from 5 below to 60 degrees in one day.

Absolutely beautiful! I'll save everyone a bunch of time and give you the most accurate review. Size: I wear a 6 1/2 - 7. I bought a size 7. They fit perfect. If I were to wear a thick sock, they would be pretty snug. I would advise going up a half size if you like wiggle room. THIS IS IMPORTANT- If you are like me and your feet have a high arch, it will be VERY VERY hard to put these boots on at first. Going up in sizes won't work either. I had bruises on my feet from the struggle. BUT, I wasn't going to give up bc I just love them! They are leather so they need to stretch. After they stretch your foot will go in much easier. I stuffed the boots and set them in front of my fireplace to get warm. And pulled the sides to loosen the leather. It worked!! Warmth: They kept my feet warm in 40 degree weather with no socks! Im pretty confident with thick socks my feet will stay warm while playing in the snow for a few hours! Comfort: I've walked and worn them for hours without any discomfort. Style: You can dress them up or dress them down! Perfect style!! I read a review about the quality of the shoe strings. Some say they feel like they are easy to break. To me they feel very sturdy. They are leather and pretty thick! Once again if you have a high arch, make sure you want to take the time to break them in. If you don't, these aren't the boots for you! But if you're determined like me to have these boots, you won't regret it!!

I really wanted to love these shoes. I just cannot get them to get comfortable no matter what I do. Also if you rub the bottom of the boot the rubber comes off like dead skin. Lastly, there is no way to keep these shoes looking clean. Every tiny thing leaves a mark.

SO adorable. If I were buying these purely for looks I'd be happy! However, I'm in the market for a full Montana winter and I didn't see the durability reviews until after they'd arrived. They are more rain-weight than snow weight (drat!) I also could only make them not slip in the heel by lacing them all the way up...then unlacing...since I take shoes on and off all day this just seemed like too much PITA factor. I also was disappointed in the color on the British...it's not as rich as shown online. The color is more muted and taupey...something that would look better on a "winter" skin tone versus an autumn. I usually wear a nine in Caribou's but I got a 9.5 and they fit well.

I NEVER write reviews. However, I am so disappointed that I felt I needed to. I was so excited for these boots. I did a ton of research and really fell in love with these. when I received them, I was so upset because they arrived broken. one of the hooks on the right boot was broken. I called zappos and they were fantastic! they shipped me out a new pair before I even returned the broken ones. This morning, I went to put on my new pair and as I was tying them, the lace broke in half. I was so upset. These boots are way too expensive for this to have happened TWICE!! So, I am returning them again and looking to find a new pair of winter boots.

These are really beautiful and well fitting boots. Although it has not snowed yet, I cannot wait to wear them. They stand out among durable snow boots due to their unique style. No fur lining but very warm anyway. Once the snow arrives, I will be among the most fashionable snow trudgers. And unlike many weatherproof boots, they are easy to wear while driving. Thanks Zappos for great selection and service!

I have been fairly pleased with my Sorel boots...until now after less than a year of use...the rubber portion of boot is cracking through to inside of boot. Super cute but the quality of this Sorel boot is poor. Heel is also starting to peel. I expected much more with price and Sorel name. I will not purchase another Sorel boot due to the quality. I am sorry to say this, because I grew up lovingly and warmly wearing Sorel. 'Tis no more. Love Zappos though!

I normally need a wide-calf boot, but thought I'd try these since I've tried wide-calf rain boots and they always fit awkwardly - huge at the ankle, pinchy at the calf. My calves are 16.5" at the widest part and these fit great! The inner cloth lining is slightly snug, but I'm going to add an elastic gusset to fix that. I can still wear them, and lace them fully. A lot of reviewers said to go a full size up, so I got an 8.5 instead of my usual 7.5, but they are pretty loose. I'm going to add an insole, the support feels better than a typical rain boot, but I walk a lot so would like better support. I'd say go half a size up if you don't want to use an insole. The only thing I would change about these (aside from Sorel offering a true wide calf size) would be to add a zipper so that you don't have to lace and unlace every time you wear them, but that probably depends on the shape of your legs, I have small ankles relative to my calves, so I have to lace them snug at the bottom to get them to fit how I like.

These are great boots with style and purpose. They run small. I always wear a 7, but needed a 7½. I could have possibly gone up to an 8!

I love these! Dressier winter boots. If you live somewhere cold, you need something like these for sloppy but not overly snowy days. I hate wearing furry boots. If you are looking for fur, or shearling, or boots for the snow, these are not them. They are great with leggings, jeans or a skirt. They are flattering and eye catching and comfortable. I've had them a full season & the only thing that seems to have not been 5 star is the laces have broken. But seeing how often I've worn them I'm not surprised that the laces had broken.

I read so many mixed reviews about these boots that I was a little apprehensive about buying them. Push came to shove and I needed cold-weather boots for Chicago's 20 degree, snowy weather, so I bought them, and they saved my feet! These boots are comfortable the moment you take them out of the box. They are not too heavy, which I really like, and you get good traction walking through ice, rain, and snow. No, they are not the warmest boots out there, so just wear a couple layers of wool socks and you will be good to go. I walked miles in these beauties and my feet never hurt. Plus they're pretty darn good looking. Best boots I've seen out there, that's for sure. LOVE THEM.

I'm not an online review-writer, however, after the amount of time I spent reading and searching for boots this winter, I felt it was only fair to pay it forward. Having not lived in a winter climate for quite some time, I went with a brand of boots that really let me down after the first snow. When the second and third snow storm hit, I was frantically searching for a pair of Sorel's to try after reading tons of reviews. NOTHING available ANYWHERE. Zappos had one pair left of my size in the Conquest Carly, and honestly, based on the fit review, I thought they wouldn't work. However, THEY DID! They've been great in the snow and slush with the following "eh" points: toes froze after 15 minutes on the coldest days so far. Soles were *very* slippery on tile, metal on subway cars, and escalators in the station. Laces don't stay tied without a good strong knot. Kind of a pain to take off after trudging home. The salt/slush is REALLY apparent on these, however, on certain parts of the boot (the heel especially, and honestly, I am not about to clean them until we start to thaw out for good). That being said, overall, I'm really happy with these. The fit was true to size, they've been great in terms of water/snow-proof, and they help keep me MUCH warmer than I had been in another well-known brand. I will buy more from Sorel... if they're ever available again!

These are very waterproof and very comfortable. They are not well insulated. I bought mine a half size big and knit some knee socks with bulky yarn to wear under them, which has turned out to be perfect. They are made for a voluptuous calf.

These boots are fantastic. I live in Boston and wanted waterproof boots that would keep me warm and dry all winter, but also looked cute. These have kept my feet (and legs!) warm and dry all winter, even during this record-breaking season. I definitely wear wool socks underneath, (New England winters, hello!) and I also get so many compliments on these boots. I have worn them almost every day for 4 months straight, and they are still completely in tact. I wear them for climbing over snow banks to cross the street, digging out of my car, and walking around the snowy sidewalks and streets. They are great for a snowy urban winter!

I love these shoes. This is my first Boston winter (I hail from CA) and I couldn't be happier with how these boots have helped me through it. I'm glad they aren't lined. I normally wear 7.5; I bought 8s, and I can either wear thick socks, or I can wear normal socks and cinch them tighter. As a pedestrian, my only mode of transport, I'm finding they have fine traction. And they are indeed waterproof. I've stepped in puddles up to mid-calf and my feet & legs remain dry. I love the way they look, and I've gotten a few compliments on them. In my estimation, these are worth every penny. I wear them every day. Now, I've only had them two months -- some people have had durability issues, so we'll see how they hold up -- but so far, so great.

I should have listened to the reviews... the veneer was already peeling off the heel when i opened the box! Too bad because they are super cute, i went up a half size, and that was perfect. They do run short. Back they go because of fake heel.

It's important to note that on Sorel's website, these boots are listed as "casual/rain", not snow boots. Please do not purchase thinking you will be wearing them when it's 20 degree's in a foot of snow, they are no where nearly warm enough and actually do feel like a rain boot when you put your foot into them...there is virtually no lining. This being said, they are quite cute so if you are looking for a stylish boot to wear in late Fall/mild mild Winter and rain, you'll like them. Otherwise I suggest looking for a true Winter boot. Lastly, I do feel the price is rather inflated for what you are getting. You can get the Sorel Slim Pack Riding boots with full leather uppers for less. Sorry, love you Sorel, and will continue to support you, but have to be honest.
