It's June in a terrible heatwave, the boots arrived and I can't bring myself to take them off. Perfect boots. Combine extreme comfort with the weather worthiness of typical Sorels, yahooey.

I love these boots so much! I wore them all winter long and they are also perfect for Fall and early Spring as well. I would say they fit true to size. I love the two tone coloring and they are very comfortable. I want to order another pair in a different color.

I usually wear between a 9 and 9.5 and after reading the reviews I decided to order up. I think I could have gotten away with a 9.5 but they still fit comfortably. I get so many compliments on these boots and I absolutely love them. I have Raynaud's and really struggle with keeping my feet warm and these have changed that. Definitely happy with my purchase.

This is my 2nd pair of Sorel boots (I live in a hot climate, so not much need). The first pair were horribly uncomfortable, the leather was tight and they were too small, although I ordered a size up. These- on the other hand- are fabulous. I look forward to wearing them to a trip to the mountains, hiking and all that awesome stuff. I can't tell they will hold up and keep my feet warm, dry and comfy

I'm a 10-11 in most shoes (10 in Ariat, 11 in Sorel). I bought these in an 11 and they are perfect. They keep my feet warm and they're comfortable enough that I can wear them all day at work. I loved them so much I bought them in two different colors!

I LOVE these. I ordered them in chocolate first and had to get the gray. Definitely order half a size up. I did for both, the chocolate color are still a bit tight, but the gray are perfect.

I always wear a size 7 in Sorel boots and given all the reviews on sizing, I was a little apprehensive. These held up and fit true to size for me! I also found them super comfy and cute, although I wasn't originally excited about laces. All in all, I would recommend this style but have yet to test them in cold or icy weather.

I love them! Based on reviews, I sized up (i'm usually a 7, sometimes a 6.5 and I purchased the 7.5 and they fit perfectly). I do have narrow feet and they fit pretty snug so if you have wider feet I could see that being an issue. I haven't tested to see if they are waterproof yet mostly just bc they are beautiful and I don't want to mess them up / make them dirty lol. But they are super comfy and warm and I'm obsessed. I took like 15 pictures of my feet the first day I wore them lol. 10/10!

My review is based on trying on only. I bought these to wear for outdoor walks during winter weather....it figures the weather warmed up by the time they came so I haven’t worn them yet. The fit seems good just walking in the house, but the real test will be when I can try them next winter.

These boots are so cute and comfortable. I recommend going at least 1/2-1 size up. I'm a 7/8 depending on shoe brand. 8 was perfect for me

Wore these on a long walk in the city and my feet were warm and comfortable. I’m usually a 9.5/10 and the 10 fit perfectly.

I've been wearing these boots for about two weeks now and I love them! I had been looking for black, suede fabric boots since the fall, as I work at a school and we need to keep windows open all day during the pandemic. The reviews say to size up, my original size is 6, so I was going to size up, but 6.5 and 7 were out of stock so I just went for it. They actually fit perfectly with thin socks and are still plenty warm. My feet and calves are slim, so keep that in mind, but I was happy I went with my usual size. I do wish the laces came in black but that is something additional I can purchase.

I loved these boots, but they were too small. I wish I would have paid attention to the other reviewers! I hoped they would work because they were on clearance; maybe next year!

Ordered these just in time for back to back snow storms. I love them. They are warm, comfortable, have good traction and are not as clunky as some snow boots. I listened to the other reviews and ordered a full size up. They fit perfectly with room for thick socks.

The shoe is super cute, it does run snug. I typically run between sizes 6 and 6 1/2. I debated just getting the 6 1/2 but ended up ordering size 7 and it fits perfect. If you are going to wear thicker socks I do recommend getting a size up.

I bought this for our annual snowboarding trip, it was Utah this year. I always bring sneakers and regret it. Bought these Joan Boots and I won't ever wear anything else in the winter. I wore ankle socks with them since I don't like long socks, they didn't budge or slide down. They stayed in place. My feet never got cold, they weren't super sweaty either. 10/10 recommend these boots!
