Omg! Amazing! These are literally the greatest boots. So comfy, didn’t have to break them in. Worked in them for 8 hours the first day with no issues. Felt like comfy sneakers. I love these and want all the colors!

Definitely size up a 1/2 size. I’m a solid 6 usually and glad I went with what the reviews said and purchased 6.5. Toe box was narrow even with 1/2 size up though. I wore them around the house for a day or so before committing and thankfully they stretched nicely. Otherwise I would have had to return them because a 7 would have been too long.

I usually wear a 7 1/2 in most shoes. These felt snug in a 7 1/2 but I have narrow feet and I like my shoes to fit snug. After wearing them a bit they did stretch or felt a bit more roomy. So comfortable and stylish.

I took the suggestions from other reviewer‘s and ordered a size up and I’m glad that I did. The full-size larger fits well with thick socks. The boots are very comfortable and much warmer than regular snow boots that I had owned previously. They go well with skinny jeans and I would recommend them to others. We happen to get a large amount of snow and ice just after I ordered these boots and I have really put them to good use. My feet have remained warm and dry!

Cute, and very comfy and cozy for a PWN-style snowy winter. They definitely run small - I'm a 7-7.5 but got an 8 (and they're fine) but could have easily gone up to 8.5 for extra thick socks.

Extremely comfortable and warm. I never want to take them off! I did have to order a size up from what I usually would, though, but this was expected from the reviews.

After reading MANY reviews on these, I ordered a size up. I'm a pretty solid 9 1/2 and ordered a 10. The 10 looked too big on me and I had a lot of void space in the toe. So I sent them back and got a 9 1/2 instead and they fit perfectly. I have no problem wearing thick socks with them either. With or without heavy socks, I find these very comfortable and warm. I've been wearing them all winter in the Pacific Northwest. I ordered the quarry which is a grey color and love them. I'd order black too if I needed another pair.

Ordered a half size up based on other reviews and they fit perfectly. Comfortable enough to wear all day! They are also very warm!

Amazing winter boots!!! You do need to order a full size up, but they are incredibly comfortable and warm. Best shoe or boot purchase I have made in years!

Perfect boots! I’ve used these for snowshoeing, hiking, and grabbing a few things at the grocery store. Lightweight and still warm. Worth the purchase!

These are my favorite winter boots EVER!!! I originally ordered a pair of these boots in grey, and I intended to wear them to and from work in the cold and snow (I live in Montana). But these boots are so comfortable that I wear them all day while I’m at work, and I’m on my feet all day running around. They are so soft and comfortable inside, I never get sore feet even after a long day. With my pants covering the top of the boots, it looks like I’m wearing sneakers, or something similar. The grey color goes well with most of my outfits, but I wear them so often now that I’ve ordered them in black and recently in ash brown as well. These boots are also warm and cozy even in the snow, so I’m comfortable wearing them outside in the bitter cold too. The key to getting these boots in the right size, however, is to order one full size up from your usual size! I wear a size 6 in almost every brand of shoe or boot, and the size 7 of these boots fits me perfectly. So size up accordingly! And don’t hesitate to order these, you won’t regret it!!!

I'm glad I read a lot of reviews before I finally decided what size to get. I am usually in between 7-7.5 but usually go 7.5 in most of my shoes. A lot of reviews said to go half a size larger so I ordered a size 8. So glad I did. It fits perfectly. This past week, I have worn it with regular and thick wool socks and had no issues being it too tight or loose. I am very well pleased.

Super, super cute. Was going to get the camel color until I saw the grey and the camel on different people one day and realized the grey was so cute. These do run about 1/2 size small.

I bought these months ago, and I do a LOT of walking at work, so comfort is my number one priority. I'm a straight size 7, so that's what I bought, and at first they were a bit tight, I had to wear very thin socks. After daily wear, the fluff went down a bit and now they're perfect. I love them so much, I just bought another pair in a different color. They are hands down the most comfortable boots I've ever owned.

Sorel Explorer Joan is my go-to-seasonal-boot. Always go at least 1/2 size up from your regular size; this usually works for me, with adequate toe box room for socks, if needed. Style, warmth, comfort, waterproof factors & versatile colors make this such a great boot for many seasons & sometimes you don't need a sock unless it's freezing, outside. Ash brown, a neutral brown; it's cool but NO pink laces in the ones I received. Maybe they were pink once, but they looked to be handled many times, they are no longer pink. Also, there was a hand print on the heel of the boot, but I wiped it off. No stuffing in boots, either. This has never happened before. I realize this is a sale, but please, return them the way they arrived. Thank you. I do recommend this boot--highly.

I love these boots! My feet get VERY cold, and these keep my feet warm while having the comfort of a sneaker. I have two small kids so I wear these playing in the snow (Indiana snow, so not terrible), going on walks, and running errands. I also think they'd be easy to "dress" up for work as a teacher. I have relatively narrow feet, and I imagine they might feel a bit narrow on people with wider feet. Otherwise, they are just excellent. I love them!
