Customer Reviews SOREL Slimpack II Lace

I absolutely love these shoes both in quality and aesthetics. While the oatmeal, collegiate navy absolutely caught my attention when I first saw them, I thought perhaps it would be more practical to get them in black. Luckily, the boots were not available in my size in black, and I ordered the boots in oatmeal. No regrets on the color! The weather is really wet right now in Chicago and I have had no issues doing errands or walking the dogs in these shoes. My feet are comfy and dry and the shoes have maintained their lovely oatmeal color even after walking through murky puddles. My only regret is sizing up. I am an 8 in the Cate the Great wedge, Joan of Arctic wedge, Emelie Conquest boot, and Major Carly boot. However, reading the reviews I decided to order an 8.5. When I first got them, I thought I made the right call, but having had them now for a few weeks and have broken them in I think it would have been better to get an 8. They have started to fold in different areas when I wear them. Also, I am starting to have to wear them with thicker socks; whereas, in the beginning, they were extremely snug with thick socks. I still love them and hope to order them again, but this time in an 8 (knowing they will be really snug in the beginning). **I don't think that this necessarily means that you will not have to size up, but perhaps if you are someone like me that is consistently the same size, consider staying true to that size, keeping in mind that they will be snug in the beginning.**

Very comfortable quality boot that keeps you warm. I typically go up a half size in Sorel boots but in these I have to return and go up a whole size.

These boots were VERY much too small. I would have needed a half size or maybe even a full size larger.

I love these boots....actually, I love all of my Sorel shoes. They do run slightly small. I typically wear a size 8 in Sorel wedges but I found these a little small and had to return for an 8.5. Every time I wear them, I get multiple compliments. They are warm, waterproof and fashionable.
