I've worn them twice. Love the style and feel, and the ease of walking. A little snug to get on as the zipper doesn't go all the way down. However, like all 3 of my sorels, the run small.

I read the reviews saying the boot fit true to size but they didn't have my size (8.5) in the color I wanted so I sized up (9). The boots were still too snug and the part over the toe was tight. I ended up giving them to my daughter who wears a size 8 and the boots fit her great. She's 15 and loved the look of the boot. So, super cute, good Sorel quality as always but runs small.

These remind me of "moon boots" I had when I was a kid and I love them. I was tired of my ankles getting cold and this sold the problem. I received these just a few days ago and they've already been great for lots of activities outdoors - a long walk, a few errands, and time around the fire pit. They are comfortable, warm and cozy. My only issue is I am always a 6.5 in every shoe and I had to order up a half size to a 7. But thanks to Zappos easy peasy return process and fast delivery this wasn't a big deal.

The cute boots have a fuzzy lining and it makes them fit too tight when I ordered my usual size
Had to return them and am still waiting for a refund until I can reorder the next size up

I bought these in late spring so have not had a chance to wear them much but will be looking forward to wearing them lots in the fall! So cute & comfy!

The boots look really good but it runs a little small and the zipper is difficult to go up and down. I had to return it.

The Black Kinetic Short Boots are very comfortable cold weather boots, it's not too narrow, and the suede does stretch. I suggest only wearing thin socks with it because I found that my feet sweats if worn for long periods of time like 5 to 6hrs. It's waterproof, I've worn it out during light rain fall and I swear I could see little balls of water resting on the top of the suede exterior. I was amazed!!!

Very cute. Too small for me but when I went up a size they are too big. They scrunch up when I walk. I wish I could’ve went up half a size but they didn’t have it. Returning them. Too bad cute and comfortable.

These are cute and comfortable boots. They should be good in the snow. They are a bit shorter than I had imagined they would be. I normally wear a 4.5 and thus ordered the size 5. They fit fine. So, order a half size up and they should fit you.

So excited when camel brown boots arrived. Great color. I wear size 6.5but couldn't get boots on. I have high arches and high instepand the way boots are made are not for me. Sadly returned, less shipping costswhich should not be on "us" the customers.

These are super squishy, warm, and great for winter! My only issue is with the sizing. I ordered them in my regular size 9 and immediately felt that the toebox was a snug. I ordered another pair in 9.5, but since they slipped a bit on my heel, I ended up keeping the 9. I live in the South and have been plenty warm with these and only a pair of thin socks, which is a plus. But, after wearing them a while, my advice would be to size up a half size and go for thicker socks as I think the sizing is slightly off.

These were obviously made wrong. The lining in the right boot was sown in incorrectly leaving a huge, very uncomfortable bump in the inside of the shoe that rubbed against my toes and the top of my foot. The left boot felt comfortable but was too large. I wear a 7.5 or an 8, but ordered an 8 based on reviews. These will be returned.

These are very cute, made well, accurately described but.... to me, at least, they have a sole that feels very thin and with no "give" to it. With the word"kinetic" in the name, I thought it would be more comfortable. Another plus is the shearling is actually faux so if for any reason a person doesn't want wool, this is great.

I wear size 8 shoe, but buy 8 1/2 for boots like these. Like other reviewers said, they’re too narrow. The length was fine. I’ve never worn a Wide shoe, but if these came in Wide I would have tried them. Alas, they don’t so I’ll be returning them. Too bad.

I am seriously in love with Sorel's Kinetic soles. No other shoe company makes cool, corrugated soles like this. Love the contrasting color of the sole and the bottom. These would have been my third pair of Kinetics, but sadly, the uppers are lacking in style. They look rather shapeless and are too loose around my ankles. Sorel, if you're listening, please make more Kinetic soles with FITTED ankle booties. Zippers or lace-ups are great as long as they are tailored to the ankle. Also, FWIW, this line is too narrow in the toe box so I always have to go a half size up, which contributes to the problem.

I bought the size I have in sneakers and the short boot was too small. Love everything else about the boot!

I'm a big fan of Sorel. I'm usually a size 8.5; I tried these on when they arrived and they were very snug with a thin sock. Also, once received, while they do look like the pictures, the bottom of the boots exterior are way too bulky.

I always buy size 8 but these were quite uncomfortable. They were slightly small but extremely narrow and were squeezing the width of my toes really tightly. There was no way I could wear them so unfortunately I had to return. Don't recommend for anyone with even slightly average to wide feet.

I’m a 6.5 and buy 7-7.5, depending on brand, for athletic shoes and boots. At 7.5 my toe was at the very end and it was so tight on my forefoot! I’ve never bought wide or an 8 in my life but for these to fit that’s what I would need. I love the sneaker sole, the soft lining is so cozy and the design is very cute! Such an awesome boot compared to other floppy sherpa lined boots. I have tiny ankles and loved the slim design of these boots. I really wish Sorel would update their sizes to be more inline with the market. These boots will be going back unfortunately!
