Customer Reviews SOREL Whitney Short Lace

I normally wear a size 9 shoe. I ordered a size 9.5 initially but too small. I ordered a 10 and they seem to fit well. I have only worn them once, but they were comfortable, felt light and not clunky like some winter boots. I think i will be happy with these.

I have a very narrow foot and these fit perfectly. They are as comfortable as a athletic shoe, but much warmer. I’m except try them under adverse weather conditions. Definitely order a half/whole size up!!!

I thought these would be perfect for everyday wear in our cold wet climate. They felt comfortable with a thin sock but very tight with a normal heavier sock and being a cold weather boot, I'd have definitely worn thick socks with them. Most 10's work fine for me with socks, but these would have been too tight, so back they went. I had the option to up the size and chose not to do that. So, I think for me, they just were not in the 'LOVE THEM' category. They seem well made and comfortable.

These were nice boots but not what I was looking for so I returned them.

Cute boots, but was disappointed in the width. I have regular width feet and always wear a medium width, but these felt very narrow even with thin socks. Sadly, these will have to be returned.

Great bootie that held up to its description. I have long narrow feet. I took the suggestions of other reviews and ordered a size up. The length was perfect. The width however was not. The heal bed was too big and caused uncomfortable rubbing. If it hadn’t been so wide I would have kept these boots for sure.

Sadly, have to return them. Very narrow. Dealing with foot injury and need wider boot. These felt even narrower than most ( although it is possible my foot has changed ). I did order a size up, hoping that would fix the problem . Just too long and narrow ! Appreciate that person I talked to me said Zappos used to people ordering multiple pairs in search of right fit. Appears I will be one of them.

I normally wear a size nine. These run short. A 9.5 fit fine. They also run narrow. If you have a wider foot, these will not work. The arch was a bit high for me, but squeezing the footbed insert with a vice took care of that. I like the style, the fact that they are water proof, and the loop on the back is great for pulling them on.

Ordered a 6.5, my regular size and they fit well. The black fur is a nice touch on the brown boot. The only issue is the puckering on the sides when you tie the laces. For the price and the infrequency that I purchase boots, these are going back for a better style.

Cute and very warm boot. They run small and narrow. I usually wear a 10 and 10.5 felt much better in the toe area. I am returning them because they have no arch support.

Lightweight, warm and comfortable. Color is a bit light.

This review is for the Nori (green) / size 8.5. Fit: As all the other reviews say, these DEFINITELY run small (I'm usually an 8/8.5 and while the 8.5 is tolerable, I would have returned them for a size 9 if they weren't out-of-stock). My toes don't quite touch the front but the toe area is uncomfortably narrow (I'm hoping they stretch over time but we'll see). Short-term wear seems to be fine but I imagine long-term wear might be uncomfortable. Comfort: Besides the fact that my toes are squished, these are super comfortable! They feel like tennis shoes and have a nice springy step. They seem to be super warm (I've been wearing them in 20-30 degree weather without feeling the cold), but the ankle has no support so as someone else mentioned, these would not make good hiking boots. Style: I loved the look of these boots so much I kept them even though the size I ordered is not a great fit. The green is a beautiful muted olive, and the inner red flannel lining compliments the shoe perfectly. They also look like wedge sneakers when they're on which is awesome. The material does squeak a bit when you walk, but it's not as annoying as some of these reviews make it out to be. I purchased these while searching for hiking boots. While these didn't meet my hiking boot criteria, they were so cute I couldn't send them back. Overall I would recommend them, just order at least 1 size up.

Wow, so small! As stated in other reviews, these run small. Really, REALLY small! I have 3 other pairs of Sorel boots, various styles. All of them are 7.5 (which is a size bigger than my regular shoe size). The 7.5 in this style were extremely small and tight. I think I would need to go up at least a full size from the 7.5. So even if you own other Sorel boots, your usual Sorel size will not work. The boots are cute. Since they were too small, I can't give an indication of comfort level overall.

I really liked the way these shoes looked. However, the shoe was very narrow while also being loose in the ankle. I do have pretty wide feet, but the toe seemed almost pointy.

I ordered my usual size of 9.5 which is what I wear in the Sorel wedges and they were too tight. The heel of these boots were tight as well as the toe box. I’m not sure if ordering a size up will help this issue because the shoe overall was way too narrow and I usually do not have this issue with any other shoes. Also when i looked at the pictures of these boots i thought there were elastic laces but they actually tie and are tucked back into the boot. Overall these are cute and sturdy boots but they are super snug.

I LOVE these boots. I was looking for something inbetween my clunky sorel snow boots and my uggs, which have no traction. These boots are perfect for walking the dog on cold days, where there's leftover snow and ice. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because they lack support in the foot/arch area. While I am pronating in them a little, they are too warm and comfy to return. I usually wear a 7 1/2 M, but an 8 in boots. I ordered the 8 and they fit perfectly.

Ugh. I was so torn. I love the look, but ultimately I am returning them because they are too small even after sizing up. I didn't think I could go the entire winter without socks and even then, they were a little too tight. Super cute though!

I'm torn. I've been searching and searching for boots that I can drive in and walk from the parking lot into work. I want them to be easy on/off and not a lot of fuss. Obviously I want them to be warm. I'm a true size 8. I don't ever have to size up - except I am finding that these 'snow' boots you always have to size up. So I sized up to an 8.5. They fit. BUT. They're narrow. And this is supposed to be a medium width. I am wearing them currently around the house without socks on, which does make a difference. But do I really never want to be able to wear socks with these? I'm not sure....The plus side - they are super cute. My daughter talked me into the red for a pop of color (I always go black) and the red is a deep red and they are very very cute. Just not sure about the narrowness of the toe area so I will have to wait a few days to see how I feel. I guess I'll have to figure out if my thinnest of socks can also be worn.

I am a 9.5 fit perfectly. Not a bulky shoe looks small like a sneaker when you look at it. Felt warm on my first 3 mile walk. It is kind of narrow in the toe if you have wide feet you may not like it. I wanted a comfortable boot that would keep my feet warm and I think I found it.

This boot is cute, and would have been comfortable if I had skinny feet...but I don’t so I had to return them. The boot was nice and light, and so much easier to walk in that the tall Sorel winter boots.

Very cute, comfortable, warm boots! But I ended up returning them because the material buckled a bit near the top of the foot/ankle area causing gaps that make everything look wider and a bit sloppy.

I followed what others suggested and ordered a half size larger than I usually wear. They are definitely very narrow in the toe. I would have exchanged them and gotten a full size bigger but the fit was odd-very tight in the toe but almost a little loose in the back-they felt almost like they were slipping off my heel. So I don't think a full size larger would have worked for my foot.

I soooooo wanted to love these boots. However, and I feel weird saying this, but they made my feet look fat! There are these vent-like things that pop up when you lace them and pull them tight, so you don’t get that nice, tight, laced-up feeling. And when I looked down at my feet, well, they looked wide and fat (and they’re not!) And the laces kept opening up. They’re “slippery”. So, I had to send them back. For this price, I felt like they should fit exactly as I wanted them to.

Wanted to love these, but I couldn't. The color and material were great and they were incredibly lightweight. Like most other reviewers, the footbed was definitely narrow. The thing I couldn't get over was the weird buckling effect at the ankles. It made the my ankles look ridiculously large.
