Customer Reviews SOREL Kinetic™ Short

I bought these last year in another color and they are awesome. I purchased the black pair here in both 7.5 and 8 and they did not fit at all. I couldn't even get the shoe fully on. Sizing is horribly off.

I bought these in the camel color in 7.5 and they fit great. I turned around and bought the black pair and they are too snug. I'm a 7 normally but the 7.5 in black is more like a 6.5

They are not waterproof . I got these last year and only wore them in the rain once and they were waterproof. Today, a little over a year later our first rain in California..I wore them for only the second time in the rain n my feet got wet . It’s too late to return them, and since I got them for the rain they are useless. Waste of money .

Oddly, Way too tight for my foot. The size I’ve always worn. Really cute style but I had to return. May try 1/2 size up.

I'll start off by saying: I am almost always a 7.5 Medium in shoes and usually an 8M in boots and sneakers (except Skechers, I can be anywhere from a 6.5 to a 7). I have had surgeries on my feet (hammertoes), have the beginnings of bunions, have extremely high arches and have pains in my feet even when laying in bed or wearing orthopedic slippers. I also suffer from fibromyalgia, Sjogrens, Raynauds Syndrome, and neuropathy in my hands and feet. I was looking for a zip up or pull on winter boot that was waterproof and insulated for cold, wet or snowy walks with my family as well as hopping in the car to go to the store or doctor, etc. That said, I ordered the size 8M of this boot. I got them on fine but the zipping up, while smooth, man it was tight. These felt more like a size 7N. I actually had to look at the box to make sure they were an 8 and then again at the inside of the shoe. My toes were hitting the front and they were very tight and narrow all through my entire foot. The arch support seemed moderate. They did not look cute in person. The bottom of the shoe looked really weird, especially with the white outline. The inside felt warm and buttery soft though. In the end, ugly and too short and tight. Just to help out in addition to these (Sorel Kinetic Short in 8M) I also ordered: Bogs Snowday Low in 8M, The North Face Yukiona Ankle Boot Shiney 8M, Bogs B-Moc Quilted Puff in 8M, Sorel Whitney Short in 7.5M, Sorel Kinetic Short in 8M and Columbia Ice Maiden II Slip in 8M. In the end the most comfortable and fit with my regular socks and boot socks were The Bogs B-Moc Quilted Puff in 8M. Not the most cute boot in the world but they were my favorite of the lot. Stay safe everyone!
