I own two other pairs of Sorels, both 8.5 and ordered these based on those boots. I agree with other reviews that these boots run small. I just returned them for a 9. They do seem like they will be warm, and should have great traction. Looking forward to trying them out when I actually have a pair that fits properly. Took off a star simply because the sizing seems inconsistent with other Sorel products.

I bought a half size larger than usual. Perfect to wear thicker socks.

Narrow -especially in the toe box. Desperately wanted to love these and wanted these to fit. I should have ordered a full size up. They are really good looking in person and seem both functional and stylish.

This boot is, of course running small. I went up half size & they fit well if I don't wear socks. Socks make them tight in toe box area. I already had this boot in black, so was taking a chance with the chrome gray color since it's a light gray. I was pleased with the color though & hope they don't stain. Comfort is good without socks, but honestly I could have worn an 11 1/2 if they sold that size. I have other Sorel kinetics & love them, but as to the quality of this particular boot? I think it might have a short life expectancy due to the thin quilted material & seams on top of boot bunch out, as in-- the shoe kinda swells out & gives me the impression that it could rip at the seams. Other than that, it's a pretty cool shoe, comfort & warm. Crossing fingers that they hold up.

Felt like I tried on a too small ballet slipper boot, so I returned them.
But I love Zappos easy return policy!

I love these boots, but unfortunately the sizing is way off. I am a 10.5 and based on the reviews, I should have ordered an 11.5. Since they don't come in an 11.5, I ordered the 11, which just fit with thin socks. I have a narrow to medium width foot, and the width of the boots was fine, but the length is short. My toes touch the tip of the shoes, which in even medium-weight socks, would be uncomfortably snug. I am sure the next size up - the 12 - would be much too big, so these boots unfortunately are not going to work for me. Also, I would have preferred these these to come with elastic laces, so you could just leave them tied and pull them on and off.

Beware, the top is very narrow and it is virtually impossible to get your foot in them. If you have a high arch, forget it. I wanted to love these but unfortunately these were a no go. I even had someone else try them and they couldn't get them on either.

Was really hoping this would work as a comfortable option for snowshoeing and walking my dogs in the snow/cold. After reading reviews, I ordered a half size up, and my toe still came to the end of the boot. They are also somewhat difficult to get on because the top is very soft/flimsy and is lined with a soft fur type material - so trying to get my foot into the boot with a sock on was a challenge. They seemed like they would be comfortable - but I didn't really wear them I just tried them on....I am sending back due to sizing and difficulty getting them on.

I wanted to love them because the style was unique for a snow boot however these are uncomfortable and bulky . The shoe is stiff and lacks support . I returned them and opted for Columbia boot sneaker instead .

I have no idea what these boots are like to wear. They have the weirdest construction - the boot shaft, which is a soft, unstructured, padded fabric, would not go over my foot. Tried my usual size 9, and I couldn't get them over my foot at all. Not sure how anyone could wear these. The chunky sole looks cool.

Unfortunately it is near impossible to get your foot into the shoe. The upper part of the boot is very narrow. Sad because they are so cute.

Reviewed at Sorel
I purchased these boots a 1/2 size up as the reviewers suggested and the right shoe fits perfect. The left shoe fits very strangely as if it's a different size or something is wrong with the shape.. I can't figure it out. I'm really disappointed. I've never had this issue with Sorel shoes before. I think the quality is suspect on these.
