Customer Reviews SOREL Ainsley™ Chelsea

These fit perfectly out of the box, no need to break them in. The toebox is roomy and the leather suede material is flexible. Style is superb. And they're waterproof. And the soles are rippled with incredible support to keep this 69 year old on her feet, stable and balanced.

I'm looking for a low-heeled bootie that's waterproof, comfortable, and stylish. Pros of these: waterproof and, once I got them on, they were very comfortable. They are pull-ons, though, so it took a bit of tugging to get my feet in. I'd also say they run on the narrower side. I liked the lug sole. But I couldn't see myself wearing them except in the rain or snow, and I already have rain/snow boots, so they are going back.

I love these shoes! They are super comfortable, warm, and waterproof. I originally ordered them in a size 8, which was too small in the toes (especially with the warm socks I wear in the winter) but I reordered in an 8.5 and they are perfect.

Love these boots! very cute. I had to return the 7 1/2 for an 8 I don't have wide feet but these are on the narrow side.

Fit great and are definitely waterproof! I wear them to work almost every day, a little narrow which leads to a little foot pain after 8 hours on my feet.

I ordered these boots for the upcoming wintery days/ rain. They're really cute & comfy. I read reviews before purchasing and saw someone say You need to get a a size 1/2 bigger - I agree. I usually wear a 9 and got a 9.5..they fit and feel comfortable enough to wear thick socks and not feel tight. Only thing is it makes your feet look huge! Overall still a cute & comfy boot.

Fit and size were perfect. Love the style! Easy slip on. I am ordering a pair for my 72 year old mom who is having a knee replacement.

This pair of boots are made very well and are very comfortable, I bought them in black. As much as I like the lug sole, they make the boot feel bit heavy and clunky. Those are the only reasons I am returning them.

I wear a size 10. This style made my feet appear very large/long. They felt a bit clunky as well.

I really wanted to like these shoes. The styling was exactly perfect: waterproof nubuck, slipon styling, flat heel. BUT: the forefoot is super narrow (my feet are not wide) and very uncomfortable, even with thin socks. And the front of the boot comes up high enough that it hit the front of my shin with every step. Even wearing it around the house I felt bruised in that spot. So, back they went.

These boots were my best friend throughout a month long trip to Europe in January. Walking 7 to 9 miles each day, often wet, some snow. They were warm and so so comfortable! I am super picky about my shoes and typically wear Naot because of the comfort factor and my 53 year old feet, but decided on these because Naot didn't offer anything comparable that was all-weather. I normally wear an 8 but decided to get an 8.5 based on other reviews -- so happy I did. They are a bit chunky so they don't dress up too well -- I couldn't wear them with dressy slacks for example, but for everything else, jeans, leggings, they were ideal. LOVE these boots and love opportunities to wear them. I have them on right now because it is cold and rainy out.

I first ordered this shoe in my regular size, 8, but I couldn't even get my foot into the boot. The 8.5 fits perfectly and it is beautifully styled. This is the fifth boot I ordered this season, including ones that cost almost $400, but nothing worked. Finally I have something that feels and looks good.

Based on reviews, I originally ordered a half-size larger than I normally wear, but I did have to return them to exchange for my typical size. They are very comfortable, which is most important to me as I am on my feet all day. Great for rainy days!

I ordered my usual size 8 and found that the shoe fit true to size. The leather is really nice and the shoe didn’t need any breaking in. Easy to pull on and off. I’ve already worn them in cold and rainy temps & my feet were warm and dry.

When I bought these boots, I wanted shoes that I could match with almost every outfit, that would be durable through rain & snow, and that would be comfortable. When I first tried them on, they were very uncomfortable and they even gave me blisters on my heels for the first week I wore them. But after breaking them in, they are literally my favorite shoes I've ever owned. They have a really good grip on the bottoms so that I don't slip and slide while standing on the train, they're very much waterproof/weatherproof, and they're black so they match with everything. Don't take these babies back just because you have to break them in - it's worth it once you do!

Love, love, love these. So comfortable, style is great. I think I'll wear these all winter long.

My first order of these boots was my normal shoe size, but they were a bit too snug. So I ordered them 1/2 size larger and they fit perfectly (with room for hiking socks). I wear them walking around my small town and on the trail for walks in the woods — they are not only comfy, keeping my feet warm and dry, but also good looking!

I am an 8 to 8.5, and sized up to the 8.5 for thicker winter socks. Moderate arch support; nothing special. The fabric is pretty deluxe for a waterproof material!

Kind of narrow and snug, which is also nice for this kind of shoe. I was looking for a stylish but comfortable and weather proof alternative to wear both for work, playgrounds and hikes and these seem like the perfect match.

I wanted a shoe that could keep my feet warm in the rain and snow, and had lots of grip for traction on the ice, but did not feel overly clunky in the office. After a long search, these shoes fit the bill. I normally wear a 6.5 shoe, but often size up to 7 for boots. I ordered these in a 6.5 and 7 and the 7 fit much better, the 6.5 was too small. The 7 at first felt too narrow to be comfortable, and I worried they would stay too snug to fit large socks. But the leather stretched out very quickly – within an hour or two of wearing of them – and now they are VERY comfortable shoes.

The ankle is snug so the shoe really hugs the foot, which I suppose is good for rain, however I did not like the style.

These boots are even cuter in person. They are pretty narrow, unlike a pair of Sorels I already own. But they are comfy!

The fits was perfect. However they felt like I had socks on - no style whatsoever.

Very good looking casual boot, fairly comfy. getting more comfortable with break in. I don't have wide feet but these are very narrow, returned my usual size 7 1/2 for an 8.

I wanted to like these but they didn't look good on my foot. The suede is waterproof and I believe it. I sent them back.
