Has a very thin, plasticky tongue. Fleece at top seems tacked on, it doesn't have any function. Sole doesn't have much tread. I was looking to replace an old pair of Sorels that have been perfect snow boots and these will not do. I will try Cumberland next.

too large - my feet were swimming in the shoe. I'm a very standard size 7, and these felt a whole size larger. i would consider sizing down - my pair will be returned and unfortunately, the smaller pair is not available in my color preference.

This is my second winter with these boots...
I am a 7.5 and ordered a 7.5 in the purple dalhia. Love the look and color, so pretty. I find these boots are extremely heavy to walk in, but I guess that's the point if you don't want to slip and fall. I also don't feel like they keep my feet warm. Obviously warmer than all my other boots, but once they are cold they stay cold.
I think the 7.5 was perfect maybe could have gone to a 7. I usually wear longer socks because if I don't it will rub on the back of my ankle and blister but if I wear the right socks I have no issues. I have never had my feet become wet. They are overall, perfect for what I needed but wish there were a few things done better.
Now that I have these, I would consider buying a different kind of Sorels but maybe not these same ones.
My uses: Chicago commuter, walks dog, sledding/playing in the snow with young ones.

I loved these boots, but they run small. Since I needed a size 11 and that is largest they come in I had to return them. Disappointing.

I ordered the same size as my other Sorel boots (8.5) but these were way too big. They seem comfortable if they would have fit but I don’t like how the top part of the boot doesn’t actually close.

Cute but not comfy!! I wish these were not so snow-board-boot stiff! They make one walk like you're in ski/snowboard stiff boots. Not too cool. They are warm. They are cute. But I am returning them because I actually have to walk in them!

Loved the look of this boot and really wanted to keep it. But as others have said, as it doesn’t lace all the way up, the top seems sloppy unless you have stick thin calves (which I do not)! Also, the lining comes out everytime you take your foot out of the boot, which felt like it would get quite annoying. I do always wear a 9 in boots but found these, as with other Sorels, run a bit on the large side and these were perfect in an 8.5.

I really wanted to love these. They felt really warm and comfortable when I tried them on. Unfortunately, because the laces don't go all the way up and they're only held in place by loose metal rings they ended up looking really sloppy. No matter how I laced/tied them they were loose and splayed out at the top where the laces didn't reach. Not only did this not look as put-together as I would have liked, it also would have cause my calves to be cold. Also, they were really bulky. I buy hard core winter boots every few years (originally from Chicago) and haven never really had ones that were that bulky in the foot area. I had to return these and keep the Keens I bought at the same time. They don't go up as high, but they tie securely and seem just as warm and cozy. And they're a lower profile.

I love the look of Sorel boots but I have tried them multiple times and they just are not comfortable. I have a lond narrow foot and these just felt flat hard and sloppy.

I love this boot but don't care for the fluffy at the top. Id rather have the style without the fluffy. Made my halves look big.

Got these boots for walking my dog and running errands (I live downtown Chicago). They felt heavy and yet did not seem cozy and warm. I also ordered the Sorel Joan of Arctic which I eventually had to return bc they were causing blisters where the rubber base & leather were joined. Oh well still love my Sorel Slimpack Tall boots and Zappos!

Just got these- normally I'm a 6.5, but I'm swimming in them even with thicker socks. I have to return them, thinking a 6 will do the trick. Not sure what the deal is with Sorel's sizing.. lots of conflicting reviews based on the sizing. A 6.5 should be a 6.5...

I felt this boot was great quality, but the fit was a bit off for me. Despite their large appearance, the inside felt smaller than I expected. it seemed to push down from the top of the boot onto my foot. The width was great for me though, and I typically have trouble with narrow shoes. Definitely a sturdy working boot, good for serious outdoor activities, but not something I would wear to work.

I really wanted to keep these boots. They are really attractive and I wore my last Sorel boots to death. Unfortunately, the reviews warning about the impossibility of wearing these boots if you have a high instep are spot on! I couldn't even get my right foot in the boot!

I really wish brands like Sorel made wider widths. People with wide or problem feet have to dredge through the same kind of weather and we want quality shoes too! I tried but returned.

Great boot. I wear an 8 and bought a 7.5 which ended up being a good fit. I really didn't care for that white fleece piece that extends above the boot. I didn't keep them because of that and bought the Sorel boots that didn't have that.

I love this brand but I had to return this boot. I'm normally a 9.5 so that's what I ordered but it was a bit too snug around the toes and also lifted in the heal. The real issue and the reason I did not just return it for a different size was that I bought this shoe for snow and when I tried it on I was disappointed to see the fur cuff did not go all the way around and there was a gap right at the front where the shoe tung is, so that he sizes and back are higher than the very front. I was worried snow would fall down into the boot as I like to tuck my pants into the boot. Don't give up on this brand though I ordered a different style and am very happy.

As suggested i ordered a half size down, what a mistake, they were so tight i could barely get them on.returning them today. Good thing the temps are in the 60's this week! The boot itself is super cool. Love the style and the height.

The shoe seems fine enough for winter and it's cute, but I was swimming in it.

Cute colors, but too bulky for what I was looking for. Seem to be in the same style of uggs. Would be cute for bumming around but not for everyday clothes.

I was absolutely obsessed with these boots until I put them on. The backs of the shoes dug into my ankles after only about ten minutes to the point where I couldn't wear them anymore. They also bent in the back awkwardly (maybe my ankle is just too short/fat who knows). I ordered an 8 1/2 but normally wear a 9 and they fit just as well aside from the other issues.
