These shoes are great. I can stand in them for four hours with no problem. They're not heavy, they're already broken in, they're really great. Well worth it and tons of compliments!

I love them! This was a step outside of the box for me since I am not typically a "heels" kind of woman, but I got a bunch of compliments on these at a work event. I paired them with a above the knee little charcoal dress to keep with my outdoorsy vibe. I do think they run a little on the small side. I am a solid Dansko 38, but I ordered the 39 in these, which is US size 8. This size does allow for a fairly thick boot sock for me. I did go to a brick and mortar to try them on because I didn't have time to return them through Zappos before my event. The local store only had the tobacco, which I thought was beautiful, but I ordered the black because I know I will wear them more. I had no difficult with sliding them on/off. These are surprisingly comfortable. I wore them and stood/walked on them for more than 1 hour on the first wearing without feeling tortured at all. The only drawback is the price. I am not sure how waterproof they are, but I am really not planning that will be a needed function for this pair of shoes as I am planning mostly for work/going out.

Love these boots. Extremely comfortable as well as stylish. I like a decent heel height but can't wear uncomfortable shoes so I am a big fan of the platform. Added bonus is that they are waterproof for snowy mountain days. Fits true to size. Plan to purchase this in additional colors as well as other shoes in this line by Sorel. A little pricey but seem to be worth it.

These are my go-to booties this fall. So comfortable, and they go with pretty much everything. I love that the sole is sturdy and grips, which I need in Colorado winters. The cute booties with no traction don't work for me here! I wear these for everyday casual outfits, apres ski, even with dresses and skirts. Comfortable, easy to slip on and off, versatile booties! I also have the tall version of this boot, and the joan of arctic lace bootie, and have been so happy with all of them.

I've only worn these boots around the house for a brief period of time so I can't truly attest to their performance or extended comfort. However, thus far they do seem comfortable with a little tightness in the toe box. Many reviewers said these boots ran small so I purchased a half size larger which turned out to be too big. I did exchange them for a smaller size and I'm hoping to give them a true road test soon.

Love these! Glad I purchased them. Very comfortable, get a lot of compliments. They fit true to size for me. Only con is they are very slippery. Of course the first day I wore them I walked down a flight of grated metal steps and almost wiped out.

LOVE these boots. I have been searching for something new for this season, but I didn't know what until I saw these. They are very comfy. I wear a 5, and they are a normal 5. I love that you can wear them with brown or black. They are well-made and worth the $. You get what you pay for with shoes. Highly recommend these shoes & Zappos.

These boots are so comfortable! I ordered a half size up based on the reviews and they fit really well - not at tight, not hard to get on my foot. I have a similar wedge, lace up pair from last year and have loved how they've worn. Highly recommend!

These boots are the perfect mix of form and function. Stylish, classic and extremely comfortable. They are a bit narrow and run large but found my right size after a couple free returns. Thanks Zappos! HIGHLY recommend these booties. Love them so much I just ordered the Addington Talls.

I've been trying and rejecting a lot of black ankle boots for about the last year, but these I REALLY like so far. Unsurprisingly for Sorel, they are really comfortable, and I love that the sole doesn't click when I walk. The heel is chunky and stable but stylish, and I love the wood detailing on the back of it. Because they're on the taller side and I'm short/curvy, I was worried about them cutting my legs off and making me look stubby, but somehow they don't - if I wear them with jeans it takes a second to arrange them so they look right, but other than that they're pleasantly effortless.

It is unfortunate that I like these because they are so pricey. I've never had luck with Sorel as they usually run large on my big but narrow feet. I wear a 42 or 10.5 in other shoes so I ordered the 10.5 even though it says it's 41.5. Was surprised to find they fit and are comfortable and look great. Will probably have to keep although it's hard to figure out what clothes to wear them with.

I purchased these after I have worn and LOVED my Addington lace-up boots that I purchased in 2017. Sorel discontinued the lace up version but I loved the Addington style so I thought I would try these. I am not happy with these because I keep comparing them to my Lace Up Addington. So I will try to make this review more about these boots but Sorel PLEASE RETURN TO MAKING A LACE UP ADDINGTON!
This style is still cute, more casual than I had hoped. Not quite tall enough to keep your skinny jeans tucked in and too wide at the ankle to put them slightly out over them so you either need to wear low socks or no socks for these to look right with skinny jeans.
That said, they are too wide to wear as booties with skirts or dresses, they looked a little chunky and odd. They also looked odd with cropped pants or jeans because of the diameter of the ankle. They might be ok with wider bottom pants or boot cut jeans - if those are even in style anymore!
I probably should have returned these boots but I really thought I could work them into wearing them after absolutely loving and wearing my lace up version. I have now decided I will take into consideration the ankle height and my purpose of the shoe. It seems f they lace this creates a better more useful feminine fit for me.
Bkg. info. I am a Sorel faithful. Borderline obsessive purchaser (16 total for myself!! Add 3 more for my daughter and 3 more for my husband) Everything I have purchased has been amazing! I wear Sorels year round. EVERY pair I wear I get compliments. And they are oh so comfortable.

Love Sorel boots. Fits true to size. I got the redwood. Looks more brownish then red to me. Wish it was more red in color. I actually haven't worn them yet but I have another pair in the two tone and they are so comfortable.

These boots are stylish and comfortable alternatives, especially in miserable winter weather. Length is true to size but heel and ankle are somewhat wider than I would have liked. As a result, my foot slides in the shoe when I walk, but not enough to rub or cause blisters with all day wear. Second Sorel boot I have bought and I will continue to go back to this brand.

The shoes are comfortable, but not as comfy as my other pair of sorels. These are little more narrow. Other than that I love them and can wear them all day while working and while playing with the kids.

Wanted to like these so badly, the comfort level is excellent. Unfortunately, and it could be the black color, they looked too clunky. May try to return for the lighter color, not ready to give up on these yet! They’re too cute! As always, they arrived super quick - Zappos style, thanks!!

Ordered Black, Kettle color
When I ordered these booties I relied on the reviews and most said they were true to size so I ordered my usual size and when I received them they were so tight I had to jam my foot in, and then once in my toes were not happy. However, I'm going to give these a few tries indoors first to see if they loosen up but if not I will have to size up.
I really like how they look with dresses and skinny jeans, and it's a bonus that they're waterproof and have good tread-perfect for the soggy winter months.

Love these boots! True to size but I ordered a 1/2 size up so have some comfort insoles in them so I can wear them without socks this spring. These are really sharp looking and I get alot of compliments. Great colors let you wear with both brown and black. My first Sorel boots but definitely not my last. Great construction, leather, and style. PS the insoles make them way more comfortable too.

Great shoe from Sorel but must admit, it is not as comfortable as my Joan of Arctic wedge...I seriously LOVE those shoes. I'm not entirely disappointed with these, though. I like the block heel and the waterproof leather. Just can't say they're perfect due to not being as comfy as my other pair.

I know this sounds silly to pint out, but when I first tried these on I couldn't believe how tight they were. Then I realized that even though I pulled the paper stuffing out of the boot, there was another fitted cardboard liner inside it. I point this out because I am surprised at the reviews that say these run so small. I have a big foot -- wide 10.5 or 11 and I got a 10.5 and they fit great even with socks. The black leather seems a little weird, I noticed they are made in China and I wondered if it was real leather. I also got the "Autumn Haze" brown color and it is beautiful. Not sure why the black cost more?? Overall these are comfortable and stylish. I got compliments on both colors the first time I wore them.

I ordered these boots in both brown ("Autumn Bronze") and black. I only gave 4 stars overall because I was looking for a boot with shorter than a 3" heel and these are advertised as 2 1/2". I measured the back of the heel from floor to footbed and they measure a full 3 inches. However, they are so comfortable and I LOVE the chunky lug sole (wore them in snow the other night with no problem) so I am keeping them both even though they are a little taller than what I was after. The brown leather is very nice but the black almost seemed fake at first glance. I noticed they are made in China and I wondered if they were even real leather. I usually wear a 10 or 11 so I got a 10 1/2 (another nice option as half sizes are not usually offered beyond a size 10) and they fit great even with socks on.

Cool looking boots. A little bit tough to pull on, as the loops on the back of the boots are too small to even fit a normal sized finger.
