Still deciding if I like them for the price. The cattail color kinda looks purple in some lights. I don’t know if I like that. They are great quality. The shaft is perfect length for short girls. Basically comes close to the knee. Some knee high boots are too long and thus have to return them. Haven’t tried it in rain or snow but it feels pretty sturdy to the ground.

This boot is beautiful and of excellent quality. The only reason I'm giving it four stars is it runs very small.

I love this boot. Sadly had to return it, too small for my calves. I wear a wide calf but hoped with the laces this would fit. Sadly no. If it ever does come in a wide, I'd buy every color.

relocating to te PDX from "sunny" CA needed some special new boots and these babies did not disappoint!
comfortable wedges make me just a little taller.
functional laces and zipper closure make for the perfect fit and easy on/off.

The boots are awesome but definitely felt smaller than most Sorel shoes. Returning my 8.5 for a 9, hope that will solve the fit issue!

I have these boots on now. I wear them in Colorado on ice, snow and in dry conditions as well and they are extremely durable and warm. I have skinny little legs, so it's nice that I can tighten them up around my calves by lacing them up to be a bit more snug. They are true to fit and the wedge is not too high or extreme for my arch. I have 3 pairs of sorel boots and I am never disappointed!!
If I could only change one thing about this boot, it would be to make them a bit taller, so they fall right below the knee. These fall about 3 inches below mine and I'm 5'3.

After reviewing comments I bought a half size up but unfortunately it was still too small after putting my sock on. I usually wear 10 so I got 10.5 and I do have narrow feet. I received it promptly which was good because I was flying to NY but I still had to go shopping in store because the size was not a comfortable fit, returning it as soon as I return from NY.

I love these - only thing I didn't like is that there is a small gap at my ankle where the boot bunches up a bit. Otherwise I love them!

I would recommend these boots only if you have smaller caves. I have averaged sized caves. If the boots came with longer laces, then it would look better... I couldn't tie a knot at the top and longer laces would give caves more room. I have the older pair, that are completely lace upped, in grey with light blue laces and I love them. I wear an 8.5 M and they fit my feet well, true to size just not in the cave area. Beautiful boots and excellent quality!

These are beautiful boots and they fit nicely. However, the length of the shaft falls about 3 inches below the knee, making it an awkward height. I expected a true knee high boot.

Very cute and stylish. I typically can wear a 7.5 M. Unfortunately, I could not even zip the boot. These should be marked as "narrow", not medium.

I loved the old version of this boot and was so excited to get a new pair. Although I kept them, the color was lighter than expected and the boot was so so tight. Good. Just not great.

Still debating if these boots are worth the price. They are super cute but borderline too small. It is very difficult to get your foot in without sliding the pad forward and having its scrunch at the toes. I got the tan boots but the laces that it comes with makes it a little construction worker looking so I swapped them with thin, plain black laces and I like the look a lot more.

Beware - There seems to be a SIZE DEFECT. The Camel color is true to size, but the Ash Brown color is a full size too small! After several orders and returns I figured this out and ordered a size 9 in the Ash Brown and a size 8 in the Camel - both fit the same! Otherwise - these are a great boot. Super stylish and comfy.

I have a pair in Brown that I bought probably five or six years ago that still looks fantastic and I get compliments on every time I wear. So I decided to get this pair in black. When I received them, there was a very strong odor to them. I let them air out a couple of days but it was still there so i decided to exchange them for a new pair. They sent me another pair in the same size, and there was still a smell to them. Slightly less of a smell but still present. The interesting thing is even though they are the same size, this pair is slightly larger. You can actually hold them up to each other at the bottom and tell a difference. I am going to keep one pair and hope they air out more. Also, my brown pair did not have a zipper. I guess that is the style now to have both the zipper and the laces. It will make it easier to get them on quickly but I actually prefer it without the zipper. More comfortable and fit better around the calf without the zipper.

These boots are stylish and one of the sturdier, more comfortable ones out there - especially if you're tired of finding boots that offer no height or a chincy heel when they do. Price and fit are the only downsides. They are expensive so I won't be getting anything else new for many paychecks. As far as the fit, just remember to order the largest of your sizes! If you are a 7 in dress heels and a 7.5 in running shoes for sure go with the bigger size. Also, if you want to switch out the laces for fun or style-factor keep in mind they need to be very, very long. Love these overall.

I normally wear a size 5 but ordered up half a size to account for thicker winter socks. Glad that I did. Love how they look and feel.

These boots are amazing!!!! They are so stylish and have the comfort that I've come to expect with SOREL. I had to return them because the calfs are rather small....or mine are large.

I own two previous versions of this boot, and was able to adjust the lacing to cover my 16 inch calves easily.
The addition of the zipper in this pair seemed great- however they removed some length from the laces making me unable to adjust the lacing enough to both accommodate my large calves, and continue up the boot to complete the top eyelets. So the lacing stops 3 eyelets down.
It can be remedied, I just purchased another pair of longer laces online. After replacing the laces I'm sure these will be just as great, and last years as my current pairs have.
Sorel - please consider offering extended calf size boots.

I'm still as of yet unsure on these. I love the style in the pictures just not sure about it on my actual body. I'm between an 8.5 and a 9 and I definitely did NOT need to go up to a 9.5 unlike other reviewers. Even at a 9 the heel still slides a little. They're very easy to get on. I hope I can justify keeping them, but for $210 they have to be perfect for me to do so. Soooo still undecided.

I ordered these in Ash Brown and literally received them the very next day with regular shipping...wow! Unfortunately, my calves are too large for these. I usually can wear 14.5 and 14 calf shaft, but these were just too tight. They might have loosened with time, but as another review mentioned, the shoe strings are WAY too short. I would have had to purchase new ones, and for the price of the boot, that is just too many problems. I'm crushed, as I have waited for these to go on sale all season. They are gorgeous, and if you have skinny calves then you should definitely go for it!
