Customer Reviews SOREL Slimpack Riding™

Yes! Finally cute, warm, waterproof boots that can make it through a cold northern Michigan winter! If you're thinking about purchasing, do it. I was hesitant, but I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I get compliments on them all the time!

Ordered these in a size 10 which I wear everything in a size 10 and my toes were touching the edge. So I returned and ordered a 10.5 Luckily they make half sizes. Loved how the "rubber" part of the boot isn't big and bulky like I expected.

Love these boots. Ordered 1/2 size larger and they fit much better. The foot area is just like a rubber wellie. Roomy toe box but the calves are a tad tight and my calves are totally average sized. No issues with other tall boots (Frye, Steve Madden, Cole Haan, etc).

Love these boots. I am usually a 7 or 7.5. I ordered a 7.5. They fit great when I first put them on - but now I'm wishing I maybe went with the 7. I'm not sure if they could actually stretch in size but I wish I would have gotten the 7. Some people have said the rubber scratches a bit, it's true, it does but I don't think it looks bad or noticeable to anyone be me. Also, very warm.

Love the boot very roomy the only fault is that the sole is a little thin so I slipped in another pad which improved the bottom of the boot. The sizing is true. Not a cold weather boot.

Can't say enough great things about this boot. I wore the boots shopping. My feet were so warm didn't want to take off. I went up a size. I usually take 7/2 but got the 8. I have room for heavy socks. The only thing, if you have large calves, might be hard to get on as there are no zippers.

I would sleep in these boots if my boyfriend would let me! Love! I ordered a 1/2 size bigger than I wear because I wanted to be able to wear thicker socks for winter. Glad I did! Little tight at first to get on and off but they do stretch a little after a few wears.

I scoured reviews to find one from someone who actually rode horses in these boots before pulling the trigger. I was looking for a pair of boots to work at the barn in that were cute enough to transition to teach college in, and would also work for winter riding. I was replacing my 4 year old Hunter rain boots (finally cracked) and my 7-year-old Timberland Charles St short boots that I use for riding/mucking whose zipper finally gave up the ghost. These boots have not disappointed. I ordered up, after reading 180+ reviews to a 9, when I could really probably swing an 8 or 8.5 but I wanted to double up socks as I work winters in PA outside. I am doubling up my socks and they're perfect. They are a little gappy in the calf (I'm 5'6" 126 lbs) so I expected the calf to be a little big but I cinched them down and its okay. No breaking in, have worn them for three days straight since they arrived. But what I really wanted to say is they were AWESOME to ride in. I am riding in a County English saddle with a wide-ish stirrup and was worried the toe would be too big for English based on my Sorel Joan of Arctics. But they worked, felt secure, and were easy to slip out of the stirrup in a flash if needed. They are my new favorite go-to winter boot.

So, I am a guy but can pull off a lady boot if it's just right. I love these boots. I tried the Slimboot and the Slimpack Riding and the the Rider won out. I typically wear a mens size 9 and the women's 10.5 worked for me. Based on other reviews I was worried they would be too small, but they fit perfectly. They look great, I just don't know why Sorel insists on making the ugliest boots for men -- most of them are hideous and look they are designed for someone blasting dynamite in a quarry or something. In my opinion this boot is easily passable as a unisex boot much like my Hunter rain boots. Anyway, love these! They look amazing. Sorel: seriously, get with the times and make something interesting for men. I'm just lucky I fit into the largest women's size available.

I was nervous about the color but I love these boots! I got them in the Shale color and I think I'm going to get a pair in the Nutmeg as well. They go great with everything. They are super comfortable and absolutely functional. I did get a half size larger based on the other reviews and they are perfect.

Love this boot! I work outdoors in a retail garden/design center where they are constantly getting wet, muddy etc. I've had Hunter boots, but they did not last a year for me. Don't mind paying more for something as long as it is going to last and these Sorel's have held up much better. The fit is perfect, very comfortable, and warm. Plus, they are cute!

These boots are great! Very comfortable. Very warm. I will take them off and put them back on 10 minutes later - they are still warm on the inside. I am a size 9 in every shoe I own. I have a size 9 with these, and they are a tad big, when I am not wearing thick socks. Though, it's not enough that I would have bought a smaller size. I have received many compliments on these.

Love these stylish, yet functional boots. Great for everyday and casual wear. They are truly slip on, no zipper. So a little effort to get them on and off. Well worth the effort. Great for any age! I'm 60 and feel very comfortable wearing them. They actually keep you warm and dry.

These boots: high quality, outdoorsy stylish look, pretty comfortable on my bad feet, lots of compliments. I love them.

These boots are fantastic. I cannot wait to wear these this winter. They fit a tad small so I went up a half size based on other reviewers comments.

Got these for my granddaughter who lives in Chicago. She absolutely loves them! Bought them one size larger than she normally wears and their perfect. Great find and know she will get a lot of wear out of them in "Wintery," Chicago.

Weatherproof and stylish! I usually weat a size 7.5 but ordered the 8. Fits like a glove with extra room for socks. Love them!

I just order these. Great looking boots. I hope they are comfortable as well. I had to order 3 different pairs to find the left one that fits properly.I think most tall snow boots are rigid so I was looking for better fit at the ankle. I Bought them early this year since last year my size was gone by October. They run small so get 1/2 size bigger if you want to wear a thicker sock. Good luck. :)

Love these! I purchased the shale. Based on other reviews, I went up to a 9.5 (I am a 9 or 9.5 depending on brand) and they were fine with a thinner sock. I think I will be able to wear a thicker sock as well. I have very narrow calves...about 13.5 and these fit nicely due to the adjustable buckle on the back without looking like I am swimming in them. I wore them on a damp 50 degree day and my feet were perfectly warm and dry. I got lots of compliments after my first wear...I might need them in brown too!

Love these boots! True to size, and quite comfortable. Receive mAny compliments on them every time I wear them. Hasn't snowed yet, not sure just how warm they'll keep my feet, but at a rather chilly, rainy horse show that was all mud, the boots were PERFECT!

Love these boots. Wore them to the store in the rain, fit true to size, also wore without socks. Highly recommend.

I normally wear a size 10. I ordered a 10.5 in this boot and it fits just fine. I have a thick, athletic calf, so knee-high leather boots usually fit pretty tightly. This boot is the same. I almost considered sending it back because maybe it doesn't look right with my thick calf squeezed into this boot? But, the boot is too cute to return it. I'm keeping it. They are a bit hard to put on and pull off, but that's okay.

Returned these on Zappos because I found my actual size on Sorel website. These are the best snow boots ever. Cannot recommend more highly!

I have been eyeing up these boots since I first admired them on my hair dresser a few seasons ago. Last winter I really wanted to buy them but I could not get myself to spend the money. I live in Wisconsin and with the coldest winter last year I am not waiting to buy a pair of shoes that I know I will get my use out of and look great doing it. The boots came in and they look great. I am actually looking forward to it getting chilly out so I can put on my leggings or skinny jeans and get out there. I am an active mom of three and like to look effortless while running out the door and these boots are such a great statement piece. They will help me look pulled together while keeping warm in the Wisconsin elements. I usually wear a 7½, I ordered an 8 per the reviews, but now wish I would have had a 7½. I could send them back but I am sure that once I put on my thicker socks it will help them have less room in the toes. I was also so happy with how warm they are. I really learned that if my feet are warm everything is more enjoyable. These shoes are the answer. If you are debating on spending the cash - do not. My only regret is not making the investment earlier. I could have gotten two winters out of them already!
