I love the style and fit of these boots, but your inner "fur" lining is very cheap and poorly made. It came all matted down. That shouldn't look like that when purchased. It is not soft pretty fur. It is matted and looks cheap and old. They are very warm, though.

Toe box way too narrow and I have narrow feet. I normally wear 10.5 in other brands so I ordered 10.5 and 11. Both were still too narrow in the toe box for me and 11’s too loose in the heel.

These were very small and tight for the stated size! The boot lining in the toe area was squished up in both boots which made for an uncomfortable knot. Perhaps I wouldn't have felt it if the size was larger. The quality didn't live up to what I expect from Sorel.

The sizing is completely off. I'm a 7.5 in my left foot and a 7 on the right. I also have extremely narrow feet and a high arch. I got an 8 just to be safe. They were at least a size too small. I'm going to try an 8.5, but I bet even a 9 would work. They're pretty cute and quirky. They also appear to be made well.

I wanted something between snow boot and sneaker and was SO excited about these... until I put them on. Even sizing up from my usual 10 to 11 wasn't enough. Snug and NARROW.
I do have wide feet, but usually don't have a problem with casual-cut shoes that give (ie, suede, leather) but these were completely unwearable. Bummed.
They are funky (in a good way) so do give a thumbs up if you're lucky enough to fit into them.

I ordered these in my normal size and walked a little bit in them and they felt way too tight. I'm debating going half a size up or just finding another boot that might fit better. Immediately when I put them on they felt very narrow.

Got these last winter and wore them (lightly) around town running errands, etc. Super comfy and warm AND waterproof, but the faux fur lining already looks kind of crushed and disheveled and the black suede doesn't look uniformly black and dark anymore - after only one season of not-demanding use.
Quite disappointed, as I love the boot but I do prefer that they have a little more longevity, especially for the price.

This is a cute boot. With the shearling lining, it's definitely for cold weather. I wore them inside and my feet were sweating like crazy. The toe box is very narrow, did not acommodate my wide foot. I normally wear a size 9, but tried this in a 9.5 because of the narrow fit. Too hot and tight, so back to Zappos unfortunately!

I really wanted to like these shoes. They are really cute, but really uncomfortable. I ordered a size up and they are still really fitted and narrow. I'm returning them because one of the shoes fits very tight around the toes and the left and right don't fit the same.

for winter - cold. Faux inner lining. Suitable for five-minute walks, but not for long walks.

Other Sorel I ordered in my usual size 9 were too big, so I went down a half size in this Sorel and they were too short.....frustrating.

I bought these on Zappos and was so surprised that the sizing was wayyyy off. I'm a 6.5 and buy 7-7.5 in boots&athletic shoes. I got these in a 7.5 and they were wayyyy too narrow and my toe was at the very end. They were very narrow at the forefoot, I've never had to buy wide width but these were way too tight for me. I'm considering trying them in an 8 and seeing if they have wide available anywhere. The boots are very cute, the lining is so soft and the slim shape of the boot is a nice change from other floppy Sherpa lined boots.

Feel narrower and smaller, even with a thin sock, than I would expect with a snow boot, but I like the tread on these as it seems one would be less likely to slip - there is some tread.

Wow, these boots are so weirdly sized. I usually wear a 7.5/8 and have a different pair of SOREL Kinetic boots in 7.5 that fit great. Because of the reviews I bought these in an 8. They are way too narrow and tight in the front of my foot, yet at the same time have too much room in the heel. A larger size wouldn't help at all. Cute boots but they are going back.

I really liked this shoe, but it was soooooo narrow. So, I sadly had to return it.

These boots felt super narrow and snug, even when I wore very thin socks. I wanted something that I could actually wear warm socks with. Also the shape of the footbed is odd. It seems to turn inward as it goes toward the toe end of the boot, so my big toes had tons of space while my little toes were squished in from the side. After exchanging for a larger size with no improvement in either issue, I'm going to return these and try something else.

I ordered half size up (usually I'm a 7.5 and ordered an 8). I have narrow feet and these were still too narrow even a half size up.

These boots felt like slippers. Very comfortable and warm, but Sorel sent me someone's return (soles were dirty and you could tell they were worn before) so I sent them back. It's unfortunate.

I normally wear an 8 but with the reviews I ordered a size up and an 8. The right boot felt weird above the knuckles on my toes. At first I thought it was my socks but it was just the right foot. I did not feel the same on the size that was smaller so it must be just this pair. I am returning all.

I love these but the smell is so bad I had to leave them in the garage to keep it from smelling up my closet. It smells like mold. I thought it would go away after they have been out of the box for a while but no. Can't wear them for the smell. I have purchased many sorel boots and this is a first. Any ideas on how to fix this? So
Disappointed. Would return but I wore them thinking the smell would go away.

I bought these in black & the look is good. My feet are average & it's a close-width fit with length & toe box room true-to-size. The top part of this boot & lining are thin, too thin for a boot & I get more of a half sneaker feel than anything else. Plus for this boot: appearance, sole of the boot, zipper for ease to pull on. I wanted to love this boot but it's not constructed to last. Unfortunately--I will return.
