Customer Reviews SOREL Conquest™ Carly

VERY DISAPPOINTING! While these boots are very cute their quality is well below standard for Sorel. After literally two wearings they started to fall apart. The heel covering already began tearing off in several places exposing the white plastic underneath. I was afraid to pull on the laces for fear they would tear as well. Though advertised as a winter snow boot, they are not warm at all. For this cost and a Sorel product I truly expected a lot more. Thankfully, Zappos customer service is exceptional (as always!) and I was able to return them.

Love these boots! But I have to disagree with many of the reviewers on the sizing. I ordered my true size 7 based on reviews. Yes, they fit, but barely. Even with thin socks my big toes were hitting the end of the boot. I should have known since they looked tiny right out of the box. I exchanged for a 7.5 and thin socks work well, but thick socks are still a little tight. I like the lacing since I have skinny calves. They are comfortable to wear to work all day. One complaint is the fake wood heel is chipping off after one week of wear. This really makes the boot look cheap (which it is not).

My boots just arrived and I am so torn! I absolutely LOVE the look, they are amazing! I read every review and decided to order my true size, 7.5. Ugh! They are just a tad too short. Not uncomfortable but I think the 8 might be better. Unfortunately it is not available in an 8 at this time. I ordered the Twill/Black and it's smashing in person. I would have worn these constantly had they fit correctly! I will agree with others that the part in back at the ankle area rubs badly. I may try them with some different pairs of socks to see if I can make something work, otherwise I will sadly not be able to keep these. I would definitely reorder in the 8 if it ever becomes available. Height/shaft is perfect for me, I'm 5'2". I also have somewhat narrow feet so the width was great. If you can find the right fit and size these will not disappoint! There is no support whatsoever, which is why the 3 stars in that category.

I love these! I have no idea why people think they are snow boots. They are dressier winter boots. Somewhere between my Fryes and actual snow boots. If you live somewhere cold, you need something like these for sloppy but not overly snowy days. When it is cold here but there's no snow I feel sort of dumb wearing furry boots. If you are looking for fur, or shearling, or boots for the snow, these are not them. Sorel makes plenty of other boots that fit that bill! But I love these. They are great with leggings, or jeans. They are flattering and eye catching and comfortable. I love that they riff on pac boots without being one. I love them. They are gorgeous. If you are looking for something without fur (finally), that looks good, is easy to wear, and can get you through slush and chilly days, these are them.

These boots are lovely!! They look great and are comfortable. I will say that the one negative is that they are not insulated; I need a think pair of socks for my feet to be warm. My bad - I should have read the description more closely. They fit well over jeans and layered leggings for warmth; the ankle in the front is a little big, but works well with thick socks. The foot fits well, as does the calf section, and I have wide calves. A great boot, if not 100% warm for the winter on their own.

I really wanted to love these boots, because they look fantastic, but the way they fit just kept digging into the back of my ankle and I knew I would regret keeping them. I returned them, but I will say that they are gorgeous and if they fit you comfortably, you will probably love them.

This boot is such a cool style, and it's more versatile and light-weight than my hardy Sorel Caribou snow boots. It's good for rainy weather as well, or you can just wear them because they are cute. My only complaint is that the buttons securing the stirrup-strap at the bottom keep coming undone while I walk. So I'll probably just superglue them closed. Other than that, my favorite new boots!

These were my first pair of Sorel's so I can't compare size much to other styles. In the past this brand has been so clunky and Croc-like on the bottom I couldn't bring myself to buy but these were so sleek and pretty I decided to give it a try. They are kind of a strange height. I am 5'4" and they stop right at the widest part of my already wide calves; making them look even wider. The laces are flimsy which is an easy fix but for the cost of snow boots with nary a real fur or shearling in sight I expect perfection. Speaking of the lack of fur; this was exactly what I was looking for, but I expected some sort of compensation in the insulation department. These felt like rain boots in the footbed which for a Boston pedestrian just will not do. So I bid adieu to these lovely boots. Maybe next year Sorel will get it right.

I am in love with these boots. They are so comfortable and so cool looking. I haven't stopped grinning since putting them on. I am 5'2'' and so tall boots sometimes hit me in a weird spot below my knee. These are a little dipped in the front and makes my legs look better than in taller boots. I love the heel (refer back to my short stature) and the all round look of the boot is not only super cool but functional. I am so, so happy!

These boots are a tad on the pricey side, but they are comfortable and they will definitely be keeping my feet warm. I am a very skeptical person about purchasing shoes online, but I live in Joplin MO and no stores around here sell Sorels period. So I took the chance on these knowing I could send them back if they were uncomfortable or didn't fit right. When I was reading reviews I noticed that several people commented about the back of the boot rubbing weird on the customer's ankle leading to discomfort, but I am not experiencing any discomfort other than the usual new-boot feel that will go away after breaking them in. The rubber that covers the toe of the boot is not a thick rubber, but the boots are insulated. These boots are warm and sexy! I normally wear a size 10 in women's tennis shoes and I purchased a size 9 Sorel Conquest Carly. They fit perfectly, plus I can wear a pair of thicker tall socks. I am ready for snow.

Probably one of my favorite boots that I have ever bought. Love the style, but like most people said, they run about 1/2 size big. Overall, this is a great purchase...well worth the price since I see myself wearing them for years to come.

First of all, these shoes are as beautiful as they look. They are a bit darker than in the picture, though. I got the Trail color in a size 10, my regular size, which fit perfectly in the foot part; however, these boots are not for ladies with larger calves. Despite the drawstring, they do have a circumference limit. And despite being too tight on top, they were way too loose midway down the boots (in the ankle/upper-foot area), even when I tightened the strap in the middle (the black one). Also, these are not heavyweight winter boots. They seem more like hardy rain boots or lightweight hiking boots than the snow boots that I was expecting. If you are looking for boots for winter and you live somewhere like Boston (where it actually gets cold and snow sticks and turns to slush), look elsewhere. But if you are looking for fashionable, hardy rain or light hiking boots, and do not have larger calves, these are for you. Unfortunately for me, they will have to go back.

I never thought I would say this about snow boots, but I am in love! These boots are beautifully crafted and well worth the splurge (I purchased them in Twill). I found them to be nearly true to size, maybe running slightly large. I ordered them in a 9.5 (my normal size) and my toes have a little extra wiggle room, but nothing nice thick socks won't fix. Like other reviewers have mentioned, I too have muscular calves and these boots mold perfectly too them once adjusted. I'd say the worst part is getting them on and off, but it's not a huge deal!

I loved these boots in the "Get your boots dirty" ads and on the Sorel site and was really excited to order them. I currently have a pair of riding rain boots, which are not quite warm enough for winters in Virginia (cool and sometimes wet, but not super cold) so was looking for a boot that would be warm enough and stylish. I was not at all clear about sizing when I ordered as some people say that the boot fits big, while others say it fits small. I normally wear anywhere between a 10 and 11 in boots (40-41 EUR), so thought I'd try the 10.5. Sadly, they were way too big. I'm not sure what sizing standard is used, but these 10.5 boots are marked at 43.5 EUR, which is not accurate, at least for women (perhaps they used men's sizing?). Not only that, but they have very strange arch support, which feels more concave than any other shoe or boot I've ever owned. In fact, it makes it fee like your toes are pointing up in the boot, which I could see creating a problem after some wear. The style is nice, but the boots fit and feel quite clunky, more like a pair of huge galoshes from childhood than a stylish pair of boots. Again, maybe this is due to the large size, but I can't see these fitting much different, even a size smaller. They also have thin lining, so you'd want to layer a thick leg warmer for this to be a boot for cold weather. Overall, not at all what I was expecting. So sad, as I was really hoping they'd be a good fit!

Based on someone else's review, I ordered down a half size. Too short, so the boots in my opinion are true to size, but very difficult to get on and off.

I'm in love with these boots! They are the best casual boot. I sometimes have trouble with boots being snug around the calf. These boots are adjustable for any size. Completely happy with my purchase...and even considering buying the black color. The only problem I've run into is when my friends see them, they all want them.

I'm a fan of Sorel's and they run small on me. I am normally a size 10 but always go up a half size in Sorel boots. I ordered both colors and both very very cute. They are the perfect winter boot for rain or snow. I wouldn't wear them in super heavy rain or tromping through puddles or snowmobiling, but compared to regular winter Sorels, these are super cute and fashionable and can go from walking in the snow to a resort club or dinner at night if you are in that environment. Not dressy, but very cute for a winter weather boot. The tan ones seemed to fit more comfy, the black ones did rub above my heel when walking, hoping that goes away since the black ones are my favorite. I'm thinking a thicker sock will help since these are not designed for warmth, and more for fashion. They are not lined with any padding for the cold. Very cute boots!

This is a perfect boot. I am twiggy legs so I was thrilled when these adjustable width boot shafts fit like a glove. They run a half size big...I am a size nine but I bought these in 8.5 and they fit perfect. They are a splurge but worth it.

Love this boot. The boot shaft isn't too big...it fits the curve of the calves since it is adjustable. Worth every penny.

These boots are GORGEOUS! But that being said, they aren't the most comfortable boots I've had on. They really are more like something between a rain/snow boot and a fashion boot. They fit kind of loose like a willy would. My only dislike about them is that when you walk in them, the area above the heal tends to rub and it's not particularly comfortable (not to mention it wears out your socks). But otherwise, a great and so cute boot!

These boots do not run small. They run I think 1/2 size big. I have muscular calves so boots are a challenge. Most are too big and then some too small but these adjust nice to your calf size.

LOVE THIS BOOT! This boot is extremely comfortable and stylish. The tan lining is rather thin, so I'd classify this boot as more of a fall boot. Also, if you have thicker calves, then it's the boot for you (it has a black adjustable strap that makes it more comfortable for any size).

This is a great, well-made boot with really great style for a piece of rain/cold weather gear - excellent ability to adjust the calf width, beautiful design, unique cinch in the back of the calf. However, as the previous reviewer noted, they do run small. I thought maybe they were only small compared to other rain/snow boots, so I got my usual street-shoe size, and they were definitely still a half size small with very thin socks. I would have exchanged for a larger size, but I felt the shaft was too short for me (I am 5'4" but have proportionately long shins). These were a weird height on me... not quite a mid-calf boot and not quite knee high. Unflattering. Should have known, because in all the Sorel promotional photos, the models wore knee socks pulled up above the boots.

I purchased these boots because I was looking for a taller snow boot. I am a 7.5 normal width and ordered these in my size. Unfortunately, these fit nothing like the Joan of Arctic’s I purchased last year. I have never encountered a more difficult boot to put on. Sliding these boots on and adjusting these them to fit correctly is a chore. The right boot felt tighter than the left. Also, the boots tend to bunch up/buckle right above the ankle which also adds to the discomfort factor. I am super disappointed and returning these boots. There are a couple of others I will try that are slightly cheaper and probably better quality.
