Customer Reviews SOREL Blizzard™ XT

These boots look well made, liked the height, real good tread, but they were so narrow I couldn't put them on. I wear a 13w for winter boots, these were closer to a regular or narrow. My mistake, there is no width designation in the size chart.

Comfortable but the draw string on the top of the boot ripped out on the second day I had them

This is my third pair of Sorel boots over the years. My first two were like wearing slippers, even when new. Now, this pair is tighter than my ski boots. Why? Not good.

The good news is that once you can get them on, the Blizzard XT boot is comfortable. But that's where the good news ends. Now the bad news. First, they are difficult to get on. I ordered a size 13 (I normally wear size 11.5 shoe and 12 in winter boot). All I can say is that, even so, the opening is hard to get my foot into without screwing up the felt liner. Instead of quickly slipping on the boot, I need to decide whether to go through the effort or jump into my old non-Sorel winter boots. Second, waterproof? I don't think so. This morning we had our first snow of the season. A whopping 4-5 inches. I put the Sorels on to test them out in the snow when I walked the dogs. When I returned and struggled to take off the boots, I noticed that the liners were wet. I reached inside the boots and they were wet. Fortunately, the inside of the liners were LESS wet than the sides touching the actual boot. What then do you mean by waterproof? Seriously folks, I was looking forward to owning a pair waterproof winter felt lined boots that I could use in the winter when it is wet or snowing outside. These boots definitely are not them. Sorel, what happened to you? I would have given a positive review if the only issue was getting them on or off, but these boots are ridiculously useless.

made in Vietnam. the foot shape is so skinny, even though i am size 8 foot, i could not get my bare foot i to a size 12..... much less wearimg wool socks! not the old Sorel.quality at all. these are.trash

The inner lining is a poor fit with too much material. The top of both my feet feel compressed by the extra fabric. When I take the inner lining out of the boots the extra material is all bunched up. I've owned my last pair of these same boots for 10 years and did not have this problem. Very disappointed with the fit of the inner liner to the boot.
