Wanted a pair or boots for for ski destination cold weather and snow. They seem to be warm. I ordered an 11, my usual size. Plenty of toe room. Heel fits fine. They are easy to lace and un-lace. The look like clown shoes..... lol. Not flattering in a size 11 :-( I think if I lived in a colder climate (I live in Georgia) I could be more objective. I still love my Zappos, even though these are a disappointment in style.

These are sturdy and warm- practical for MN. Cute and easy on/off- great for dog walking. I usually wear 7- 7.5. Purchased red in a 7 and I can wear them with thick socks or no socks at all.

I was so hoping these would be great boots, but they came a bit too big. Walking around the house the back of the book and around my arch were pinched by the binding of the boot. The boot creased and cut into my foot and ankle. I did read reviews that these would be bulky and heavy to walk around in, and that's true. Too many negatives for such a name brand like Sorel.

I really want to love these boots, they're cute and well made, but while they fit up front, I found them very loose around the ankle and the heel. They perhaps run a teeny bit large generally.

I've worn Sorel's for decades, but because I have long feet (womens 12) I've usually had to buy men's sizes. My feet are narrow (AA), so they've always swum around in the men's boots, but better too wide than too short, right? This year I noticed that these boots were listed in women's sizes, which I was thrilled about! Unfortunately, when I got them, I discovered that they're as wide as any other Sorel's I've ever worn, if not wider. I have an old, worn-in men's pair right here that I can step into when I step out of these, so I can say with confidence that these definitely feel wider. Maybe they just call them women's boots, and make them available in new colors, but they're the same old men's boots I've always purchased before? Disappointed

I love these boots, although they do run large. I ended up downsizing half a size, but thinking I actually could've gone down a whole size. They keep my feet nice and warm in -40 degrees, all while staying stylish! Def would recommend these boots for intense winters!

Overall the boot was really cute and stylish. I had some awkward uncomfortable rubbing on my ankle but after some breaking in and manipulating the brand new boot stiffness they fit well.

These are the most practicable snow boots I've ever owned. They easily slide on and off and keep your feet very warm. Great for the ski mountain or snow days. They look great too!

Heading to Alaska to meet up with my sons and his family. He has transferred to Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage. It was recommended that I purchase Sorel boots to keep my feet warm and dry. The boots have arrived and they are attractive and fit great. I'm ready to go and ready for an Alaska adventure!

These are super cute boots, very warm with better support than one would expect. But not terribly comfortable to wear for long durations. I bought them for around town, MA winters, and after wearing them for a few hours running errands I started to feel a terrible pressure (only my left foot) where my toes meet my foot. I could not wait to get them off. I am hoping they will loosen up after some wearing in, because they do seem like they will do what I need. A bit clunky but very stylish and warm.

I bought these boots for my loving girlfriend. She wears them every day. Her feet stay warm and dry which makes her happy. I would definitely recommend your boots to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable and stylish boot. Thanks again.

I soooooo wanted to love these all the way. I saw a few posts about some of the boots rubbing heels. I slipped them on, took off around the block and the left foot is blissful. But the right heel is in agony. I live in Texas so I don't have a lot of need for them daily. But I have a ski trip in a week, so there is no time to swap. I will keep them and bring bandages for my heel. I will update my post when I return from actual snow and ice. They fit great though. True to size. They are built well. It's a "hearty" boot. And the rest of the boot feels great. And boy, are they sure sharp looking!

I must have gotten an “off” pair. They were huge. Got my normal size 8, these felt like a 9 or above and were super wide.

Just moved up to Tahoe and needed some solid snow boots to keep my feet warm. In every pair of boots I have owned my feet are ALWAYS freezing. But in these boots, they stay nice and toasty! The warm liner is great but if removed, the boots are WAY too wide. I appreciate that these are gusseted to keep out snow and water. The boots are cute and they are also pretty clunky. The sole provides good traction and that's because it is so wide and the surface area distributes body weight over slippery surfaces. These fulfill all my winter boot needs. Cant wear them without the liners but when it snows, these are my go-to boots. Another plus - Winter Carnival is made with all synthetic materials - no leather or suede!

Love the boots. Very comfortable from the moment I put them on. There was no break-in time needed. Keeps my feet warm in the snow. Highly recommend the Winter Carnival boot.

I read all the reviews and went to a store to find my size before ordering. When I received them, they were much bigger than in the store length and width. I ordered a size bigger than my normal because i know they run small but they looked like men's shoes. They were also heavy due to the size. I would reorder in a half size up if I lived in a place with snow as these are a little too much for just rain!

Boots fit slightly big but a pair of thick socks will solve that problem. They are so comfortable and so so cute!!

I was looking for a true winter boot with good traction on icy spots after having my old boots lose traction so often and so dangerously that I fell several times in one winter. I am 31, in good shape, and not running or horsing around... but merely walking to take the dog out or seriously just get to my car behind work and I still fell and sustained pretty terrible bruises that went down to the bone! I was terrified to be outside last winter. I hated thinking that this could be happening to an older person or a young child... they don't necessarily bounce back like a person of my age and health does... and I didn't bounce back!! So, I bought these immediately after our first storm of the season and couldn't be happier. My old boots were great in many ways (they were my bean boots that I really did love too, but wore the traction down in a year and didn't want to deal with resoling each year. I wear my boots hard... like everyday in the winter all day... so beans were worn in one season). The difference with these Sorel boots is the stability I feel on conditions that would have had me avoiding areas and shortening walks for my dog (which is not fair!) or accepting and submitting to the injury that was inevitable. I walked like a penguin and slipped. I swear I'm not like a huge klutz either. It was so bad!! Now, I am still cautious but finally I am gripping the ground with my feet confidently and easily, rather than adding a new bruise to the collection after slipping. I don't shorten walks for my dogs or feel panic and fear with each step. The Sorel boots are ridiculously warm- with even just the thinnest of socks. These boots are high enough to trudge through some serious snow, but also low enough to wear comfortably through the day if desired. I did purchase another boot from sorel - the Joan of arc I think it's called..for my everyday wear in the winter... it's less of a snow boot and more of a warm daily winter boot with a rubber sneaker-like bottom. This one isn't as effective on ice but isn't as bad as I've had! Good for sunny winter days after storms are cleaned up, but 100% amazed and happy with the combination of boots I bought for their desired use. They both rock but specific to the snow boot ratings , this one is pretty phenomenal. Tivoli 2 looks like a pretty neat taller boot if you want a little more coverage! Thanks sorel! Def want to say that both companies- sorel and bean (you know the one... just leaving it at that bc my point isn't to discredit or bash them, but to provide relatable and real comparison since this was specific to an issue trying to be resolved here!) and boots are awesome, but I think they are different worlds in terms of what they are providing. They don't compare when it comes to certain needs or wants... ice traction is the one I'm throwing out there as my pick! Each have their place in the market. Def recommending sorel for this need and problem with ice. This boot is very fairly priced for all that it provides, especially compared to other brands on the market. Funniest part to finish...realizing that my husband and I now have matching snow boots, not on purpose, but bc I apparently have the same (great!!) taste in boots... mine are just a whole lot smaller than the men's monstrous version. Our first winter as a married couple is complete now. Matching snow boots... completely by accident... so super corny and awesome

Sorel came through on getting to me the cutest red snow boots ever. The fabric of the red was absolutely stunning, the rubber around the toe shell felt sturdy and the insulation was soft and warm. Wearing them on the plane so I am removing the inner shell; which is an amazing feature. I am a true 7.5 but even with my wool socks they felt slightly large. I bought these on line so I didn't have the luxury of experimenting with other sizes. But these more than satisfy my needs for this snow trip. Thank you Sorel for this awesome boot!
