Customer Reviews SOREL Phoenix™ Zip

Great boots! Super comfy and fun!

Cute boot, true to size and seemed comfortable during the "wearing around the house" phase. The only reason I returned them is they seemed a bit too "wintery" for my mild CA climate. If I lived somewhere that had snow and/or colder weather, I would have kept them.

This shoe is a good basic to add to your winter collection although it runs 1/2 size small.

Overall, the boots were a good fit. I have very high arches, so I would have preferred a bit more support. Also, they were a bit too roomy in the heel. That said, the boots feel like they’ll be good for taking on long walks in the city, come Spring.

I REALLY like these! I am usually an 8...I need an 8.5 in them. I will exchange and get the half size larger. These are great to wear daily with leggings or jeans. Such great quality - a bit rugged looking, too.

This is a stylish winter boot. I had read previous reviews prior to ordering so knew to order a half size larger than my regular size. I put them on and wore them right away. They have amazing tread and beautiful leather uppers. I think these will serve me well for many winters to come.

These look pretty and are ok boots. Not nearly as cushiony as other Sorels I've had. On carpet you can really feel the bumpy sole pushing on your foot. I haven't decided if "just ok" is worth this price

These are beautiful boots, and the footbed is really very comfortable once you get them on. My problem was with that part- I have very high arches and tall feet, and even with a boothorn it literally took me 15 minutes to get into them, which is not what you expect from a boot with a zip. I think part of the problem is that the rear upper is quite soft, but the sole and heel capsule are rigid so the whole thing flops around as you're trying to get it on. In any case, once on I found they compressed my foot too much, even though the length was more than fine and the footbed wide enough. I'm going to try them a half size up since they look so nice and are waterproof- maybe then I won't have to fight to get them on!

Really nice but a bit pricey. Great every day winter weather booty that’s not too clunky. Simple and minimal style makes it easy to pair with anything!

This just wasn't a good fit for me. Nothing wrong with the boot itself. I loved the style, the leather is soft, and the height is actually nice. Overall, it was big in the heel for me even with a heavier sock (which is what I want) and I'm petite and it felt clunky.

I like these overall, but were too big in the heel, once I sized up. However, it wasn't an issue with the Emelie, by Sorel when I sized up (so keeping those). They're also waterproof, but with suede on the back half. I liked that this boot was made of pebbled leather, which is great for difficult weather conditions. If these fit, you're in luck!

Beautiful boot, narrow at the top for a snug fit which I like, but easily runs half size too big! They sadly had to go back..

The style of this boot was exactly what I was looking for plus they're waterproof, have a grippy flexible sole, and seem very well-made. Unfortunately, the toe box is really narrow. Even with thin socks, my feet were squeezed tightly - though the length was fine. Also, my heels slid up and down when I walked which dragged my socks down. Darn! Wish they had worked out.

I really wanted these awesome boots to work! They have great style, the softest leather, a comfortable foot bed, and are waterproof. Unfortunately they are too narrow in the toe box for my foot.

These are such nice boots. They feel mod, the leather is soft and the sole seem very non-slip. But, alas, I have to return them because they are too tight at the top. I have short legs + large calves and they are too slim to fit my chunky legs. Your mileage may vary, so do try them!

Soft leather and mostly comfortable right out of the box. I have worn these on a few dog walks and notice the side of the heel support sometimes digs into my foot when walking on uneven ground. The sole of the shoes are nice and soft (quiet) with a bounce when wearing (they feel supportive and have good traction). I usually wear and 8 1/2 and found these to have about an inch of extra length. My heel slips just a bit, but I think with wear, the leather will mold to my feet and feel more secure. The extra room works with thicker socks and makes the boots pretty warm. Cons: These are not as sleek as I'd like, the sole is somewhat clunky and the boot looks wide across the arch of the foot. I wish they had a pull tab to help don the boots. I live in a wet climate but so far it hasn't been raining while wearing these. I think they will hold up well to PNW weather.

I really liked the look of these boots and the sole seems perfect for getting around in the snow. I found that the boot runs a little narrow for my slightly wider forefoot so if you have a narrow or average width foot, these probably work best. They were fine when I tried them on, with thin socks, but snug enough that I was concerned they would be less comfortable for all-day wear, or if I needed to wear them with warmer socks, so I had to return them.

The shoes are beautiful! They are a little bit smaller, I normally use 7.5 and ordered an 8 and it fit well. However, I didn't like how they looked when I had them on. I can't tell specifically what it was, but I didn't like the style, even though I tried them with different types of pants. It's very sad, I really wanted to like them!

Got these for rainy or lightly snowy/icy days. Very cute (patent leather) and the sole is cushy and grips well on wet sidewalks/metal grates. The length of the shoe is perfect and true to size, but they are a little snug across the ball of foot/two outside toes. Hope they stretch some. Doesnt make sense though to have a comfy, lug soled shoe that is narrow in the forefoot. Seems to be a trend with some of their more fashion foward winter shoes. Overall a good shoe that I will wear a lot!
