I have wider feet and these fit great! I'm normally a 7.5 so I ordered an 8 which gave me room for thick socks. They are also really cute on and comfy.

Much larger footbed than Tivoli II style... which is what I needed! Also impressed with the completely removable liner (not just the sole). Personal taste... would prefer a different color cuff... the white is so... white! Not a deal breaker. Interestingly, it's just a serpa material strip sewn directly around the top of the felt liner & could be easily replaced with whatever you like. Hmmmm. Along w. the roomier footbed, this style is roomier all around (maybe 1/2 size larger) & also heavier. Still fine for my light usage... walking dogs in any damp/rainy weather (light rain state). Hope this is helpful for someone!

I ordered these when I wore through the soles of my last pair of Sorels (after 3 seasons of winter dog walking). I had the Snow Angels in the past, and decided to go up to a slightly more robust boot. These are very roomy but comfortable in the size I usually order from Sorel. Very warm! They are fairly lightweight for their size (similar to my previous pair) and not too bulky for walking in, but will also be great for deep snow. I love them!

I purchased these boots for the sole reason to stand out in he cold and watch hockey. True to size, warm and I didn't feel like they were "clunky". Room enough to wear thick socks.

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!

I agree with the other reviews that these boots are kind of "clunky." I have big feet anyway and these definitely don't make them look more petite, but I didn't buy them for fashion purposes really. They are SO WARM. I live in Upstate New York and have a 100-yard-long driveway I have to clear in the winter. I can wear these with thin cotton socks (instead of wool socks) and my feet never get cold. They're also good in the snow in terms of slipping. I am typically in between a size 8.5-9 and I opted for the 8.5 and they fit great. I probably could've squeezed into an 8 but didn't want to sacrifice comfort for a smaller shoe.

I have a high instep and this results in great difficulty in purchasing boots since my foot won't make the bend at the ankle in the boot. I have tried on at least 15 different boots and styles both local and through Zapos this year for snow boots. I was really hopeful that that these would work. Unfortunately they did not. I went up a whole size trying to make them work and I was able to get my foot in, but then the actual foot fit was clunky and sloppy. I had to send them back (loved the Purple Dalia color too!)..Darn! After ordering and returning numerous pair i found the Keen: Hoodoo III Low Waterproof boots which went on fairly easily, and fit well. The color wasn't as exciting but I find that if my boots are to much of a challenge to get on and off I just find reasons not to go out. (and I love to go out) If you have a high instep and have trouble finding bots do try the Keens.

Reviewed at Sorel
I love the look of these boots, but can't believe how uncomfortable they are. There is something hard in the back that digs into the back of my foot and makes it difficult to walk. After really looking forward to these boots, I'm so disappointed to learn that I can't wear them for more than a few minutes without having to take them off.

I do not think Sorel can make a winter boots anymore. I have no idea where the high reviews come from. I live in the mountains of Colorado where you live in snow boots from October into early May. These shoes are heavy, cold, and feel awful walking around - just in my house for a little while. They are overly bulky in toe area. Which probably makes them feel so cold. The wool lining is thin and makes the bulky heavy shoe rub on your feet. Someone needs to tell Sorrel how to make a good boot. Start from scratch. Good boots feel like a sneaker - are not heavy and have good traction. It shouldn't be that hard.

So comfortable and lots of cushion. Not as heavy as the other boots out there! I find they run a bit big.

I had been wearing uggs to get through my Chicago winters and after my last pair ripped I decided it was time to reconsider. I honestly don't know what I was thinking. These boots are amazing. I can wear them in the snow, rain, and bitter cold.
They are very comfortable. My only complaint is that they can be a bit hard to take off as the insert sometimes comes out with my foot. Maybe that will change as I keep wearing them.

Love these boots! Ordered my normal size in sorel which is a size 8. Fit great, room for a thicker sock too. Nice height and weight for a winter boot. I recommend them!

The best winter boot I've ever owned! I have long skinny feet and plantar fasciitis so it's extremely hard for me to find shoes that work for me let alone a winter boot but I think this is it! I normally wear an 11 1/2 but got the 11 in these based on other reviews and it is a perfect fit. Plus they are super stylish which is a total bonus! I live in New England and wore them for our first big storm and they were great- good traction, feet stayed warm and dry and they didn't hurt my back or my heels!

I have lots of boots but just needed a warm boot for outside use when shoveling, going to chicken coop and bird feeder. These boots do it! They are very warm. Sometimes when I am short on time I put them on without socks...feet stay warm! They are a bit chunky but I am not trying to make a fashion statement in cold Michigan weather. (I have other boots for that)

I love these boots. I ordered a half size down and they fit perfectly. Warm, durable, and completely waterproof. These are exactly what I needed for the harsh winters of the Pacific Northwest.

These run big, I got a half size smaller than I normally wear and they fit well. The biggest downside for me is that they have no ankle support, no matter how tightly laced they are. They are good for doing everyday stuff in the snow, but I wouldn't walk very far in them. Very easy to get on/off. I wear thick winter socks with them and have had warm feet every time.

While the boots looked great, they were so uncomfortable. There is a bulge/crease in the back that rubs on your ankle - very very painful. Boots are also very clunky. They are going back.

These boots are VERY warm, and great for cold weather and snow- easy to walk in and easy to get on and off. All that insulation does make for a big boot and I think they make my feet look pretty big. They also run large. I usually wear an 8.5 and the 8 is still a little big on me. I have to wear thick socks. Overall a great snow boot!

Totally satisfied! I needed boots that were comfortable and warm, these boots fit the bill. Once my feet warm up inside they stay warm until you take them off. They aren't to clunky but the sole does look huge. Hopefully I can keep these for years to come.

The shaft of the boots dug into my leg and were uncomfortable. My feet were cold after 20 minutes in mild weather so I returned them.
