Customer Reviews SOREL Slimpack Riding™

Could not love these boots more! Comfortable, warm, and they look great. Definitely order a half size up. I usually wear a 9 and the 9.5 are perfect

These boots are beautiful dark green color! They look even better than online! I bought the grey too but they were only available in a half size bigger and were too big to make it work. The grey is also very nice but would show scuffs on the leather more. Fleece lining to the top of the boot is very soft and warm. Very comfortable for the type of boot. They aren't difficult to get or off like some reviews mentioned. These boots are a must buy!

Fantastic barn shoes that I wear all winter long. They are comfortable all days long. I wear them every wear - to run errands and inclement weather. My thirteen year old daughter tries to borrow them constantly so I will likely be buying her a pair for Christmas. Cannot say enough good things about these!

I love these boots and get lots of compliments on them. They do run small. I wear a 9½ and ordered them in 10½ so I could wear thick wool socks with them and they fit perfectly. They are hard to get on and off like others also said. I feel like they are getting easier though. Overall though, they are my favorites right now and perfect for the cold. I work outside and they are great even in the snow.

There seems to be a lot of variation from pair to pair. On the fit, my experience was true-to-size. I ordered a size up (9) based on the other reviews and had to return for my usual 8.5. I have wide feet and short toes (my true size is 8W), and I thought the reviews on narrowness might mean that if I sized up to fit my foot in, the boot would be way too long. But the 8.5 was great with thick socks and the lined rubber is very flexible to accommodate my wide foot. When I first tried on the 9, I was also worried about the tightness of the shaft--it was fine with tights or leggings on, but with tall socks + skinny jeans I couldn't pull the boot up all the way and it slouched a ton, causing the folds of leather to rub at my ankle. I have short legs so the adjustable part of the shaft doesn't really make a difference because it's above the widest part of my calf. When I got the 8.5, maybe it had been tried on a lot of times before and partially broken in, but the leather was more flexible and it was noticeably wider in the shaft, still snug but much easier to get over my pants. I didn't have any trouble pulling the boot on and off with the tabs on the sides; it was tight for a pull-on boot but not near impossible like some others experienced. The height of the boot is perfect and even with short legs it doesn't cut in behind my knee like some other tall boots do. I got the Nori and it is a deep olive green/brown that goes with everything, a nice difference from the other slate gray ones I've seen around town. So far I've worn them in snow and slush around 20 degrees and I suspect the thin rubber will be cold on my feet at 15 or below, requiring double socks, but the lined leather shaft was toasty warm on my ankle and leg.

YESSSS! Pull-on, stylish waterproof boots. I have larger calves and these fit perfectly.

I finally took the plunge and invested in these boots. I'd been wanting them since last winter and I have no regrets! They're both warm and fashionable which can often be hard to combine into one boot. Hoping they last for years for the price I paid.

Love these boots! So comfortable! Great style! They are warm enough outside but not too warm for wearing indoors. Great for fall and winter walking, shopping, to the mall, movies, and outside doing chores in central NY. I need a wider toe box verse narrow. These boots fit the bill. I did go w/ a half size up after reading reviews. Happy I did. No issues getting on. Highly recommend.

Ordered my regular size and half size larger based on other reviews. Kept my regular size, sent the others back. I've worn them with thin wool socks so far (great fit) but think I can do thicker ones once I've worn them a few times. The ankle to foot section is snug when you put the boot on but it keeps the boot from bunching and wrinkling on the outside. Love the grey color as there is also brown and black in them so they'll go with many outfits. Tried the Nori color as well. It is more olive green, which was nice and neutral but not as much contrast as the grey. The top of the shaft is adjustable, but pretty snug. Works with skinny jeans and leggings. I have small to average sized calves. Overall, I am pleased with this boot and excited to wear them in the winter weather.

Love them!!! Slim, tall, warm, waterproof, good looking! What more could you want? Went on easily, came off easily, with warm socks!! If you can't pull them on easily, you have the wrong size. Lol!

Really love these boots. They are warm and dry buy most of comfortable!! I would highly recommend them.

These boots are so stylish and practical as well! They are really warm and waterproof which is awesome for the wet or snowy weather. I love the color it is very neutral. They are a little difficult to get on but there are tabs at the top to help you pull them on and I feel the more I wear them the easier they get to put on. There is no slipping your feet into these though, they are definitely pull-on boots.

Very attractive, heavy-duty boot. Definitely waterproof and mudproof. I have not yet had the opportunity to wear them in snow yet, but they will definitely require thick wool socks. That's the only negative to them, the sole feels kind of hard and thinnish for a boot (not really thin, but not heavily insulated and not cushy, if you know what I mean.) But that makes them more versatile--you can add or subtract your own cushion and insulation in the form of socks. Which is definitely what I will be doing.

These boots are water proof and a bit stylish which I love. I get compliments every time I wear them. They're comfortable with just the right heel.

Love, love, love the Nutmeg! It is a gorgeous chestnut color and not as orange as the Zappos video shows. By the way, Sorel recommended I use Zappos as they have great lighting for their products. Oh, and I did order up half-size and that was a great choice. Lastly, for all of the non horse people out there, go buy yourself a pair of boot pullers. They just hook into the loops on the top of the boot and give you a little leverage to pull the boots on easier. You can get online or at your tack shop! Can't wait to wear my new boots! :-)

couldn't decide on a color so I bought two. Nori and Nutmeg. Love, love, love the Nutmeg (it is not as orange as the video shoes). The Nori has a tinge of army green in it and is not the right color for me. Oh, and I did order up half-size and that was a great choice.

I ignored the other reviews regarding size and am glad I did. I normally wear a size 8 and ordered a size 8 and they fit perfectly. I could wear medium-weight socks with them without them being the slightest snug. I didn't have difficulty slipping them on either, nor were they tight at the calf and I'm not a size 2. :) Probably the most stylish winter boots I've ever owned!

I REALLLLLLY wanted these boots to work, they are so cute and different than every other riding boot out there. However, the ankle area is just SO loose and when walking sort of crumples in a way that the leather folds in to your legs/ankles. Overall they are really sharp boots, but I fear I may have to return them if I can't figure out how to get the ankle area to work. Slipping on was not too bad, and calves are not too tight, not too loose. And footbeds are very comfy (ding in comfort only due to the ankle slouch issue).

I totally in love with these amazing boots! they are totally the perfect blended of function meets fashion meets comfort! Ladies, the combo now exists! 5 stars!

Blew me away! So comfortable right out of the box. I purchased my regular size 8.5 instead of my usual 9 I buy for boots. My issue is always with the toe box but the Slimpack Riding is so forgiving! What a great boot. Thanx Zappos as always for delivering what I need!

Very nice looking boot! But purchased the Nori thinking it was a chocolate brown but the leather is GREEN. Will return for the Nutmeg!
