I love these shoes. So comfy and warm. They fit true to size and are much warmer then my Ugg’s.

These boots are great. I normally wear an 11, but sized up to a 12 (thanks to everyone who gave reviews ahead of me!). Very comfortable and stylish.

These just arrived yesterday and I am so excited!This is a beautiful pair of boots and seem like they will be very warm, cozy and comfy! I’m glad I listened to the reviews and went up a half size. I’m usually a 7.5 in Sorel and the 8 is a perfect fit. Don’t hesitate, buy them!

Definitely go with the other reviews and order at least a half size up. I’m a 7 and the 7.5 is perfect.

After reading all the reviews about sizing issues for Sorel boots, I decided to measure my feet and follow the size chart rather than order my typical shoe size. Normally I wear a 9-9.5, but I ordered an 8 per the chart, and I will need an 8.5 because my toes (while not bunched up) are touching the end and have no room to spare. I would describe the arch support as 'minimal' rather than 'none'. These boots are very cute and very comfortable!

I really like these boots. I did listen to the reviews that they run small. I did order a half size up. They seem tight in toe box at first but stretch out nicely. Happy with this purchase.

I had originally ordered a half size up based of the reviews but needed my true size. Very stylish and comfortable to wear. Will have to see warmth when temperatures get cold again.

I have 2 pairs of these boots and absolutely love them. They fit perfectly with thin wool socks, and keep my feet comfortably warm on long walks. Using them for the first season in the snow and they are keeping my feet very warm and comfortable.

Unfortunately, I have a wide foot, so these did not work for me. I was sad to have to return them because they were suuper cute and warm!

These boots are so warm and comfortable. They don’t have that heavy boot feeling where I want to take them off as soon as I’m home. I can comfortably wear them all day. I’m typically 8-8.5 and did need the 9.

Love these boots! They are so comfortable and warm. I have had a pair of Sorel snow boots for a while and needed to update and I’m so glad I chose this style! You definitely need to go up a half size. I normally wear size 10 and ordered 10.5 in these and they fit great! A+++

These boots are great, they do run small though. I wear an 8.5 typically and had to go to a 9.5 in order to wear these with winter socks. They are super warm and comfortable. I'm on my second Michigan winter with them and they are holding up well.

I just bought these cute winter boots and I'm very happy with it! I had to order half a size up (8.5 to 9) as recommended and they fit perfectly well!

I bought these for my 16 year old daughter after she started stealing my black ones. I agree with other reviews- they run small- I normally wear a 6 but always size up in running shoes and boots- the 7 was a perfect fit for me- my daughter normally wears a 6 or 6.5 and we got her a 7.5 as the 7 felt just a touch snug on her. We have both worn these A LOT in the last month- I even did some hiking/snow-shoeing in them this past weekend and my feet were warm and dry. They are so lightweight you feel like you are wearing tennis shoes with the added bonus of warm dry feet in snow- these are my favorite boots ever.

I tried three different sorel boots and these are my favorite. They are nice and warm inside, very cute and comfortable, and they aren't heavy or clunky. I like that it is completely waterproof. I was told to go up a 1/2 size but after trying the other 2 Sorel's I didn't need to go up a 1/2 size. I am between a 9 and 9 1/2 anyway. I got the 9 1/2. They are a sneaker boot, which was what I was looking to get.
I'd also recommend:
I like Sorel boots, I have another pair that I got two years ago. I also like Merrill and Noat.

I bought these boots as a replacement for some old Joan of Arctic boots. I’m REALLY glad I paid attention to the reviews regarding size. I am usually a 9 (9.5 for running shoes), or an EU 40. I sized up to a 10 in these boots and they fit perfectly. Warm, comfortable enough for a 2 mile dog walk. I like the height and if I knot the laces twice they don’t come untied. Good deal.

These boots really blew my expectations out of the water!!! They are SO comfy!!! Like walking on clouds....I have barely taken them off since I got them!! I'm a kindergarten teacher so I can't wait to wear them to school when it's snowy out. They aren't super clunky like your typical snow boot so I can get away with wearing them to work. They do run small. I'm typically a 9 but sized all the way up to a 10. At first I ordered a 9.5 to be safe but they were way too small. The 10 fit me just right. I recommend going up a full size! You will not regret this purchase!

The boot is adorable but I M a true night and it was too snug. I would recommend a half size bigger.

Fleece lined boots are cozy warm and soft to wear. Lightweight and great for around town. The traction is not as good as other Sorel boots though. I’m often a size 7.5 but In Sorel I’m always a size 8.
