I originally ordered an 8.5 since my other Sorel boots are this size but due to the lining in these boots I ended up needing a 9.5.

Not only do they look incredibly cute but they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I never want to take them off. 10000% recommend!

After seeing these cute boots on my daughters, I had to get a pair of my own! I ordered the black but in the end decided to send them back and get the coal. The other reviewers are spot on...they run small! I had to order up one full size.

I absolutely love this boot. It took me three tries to find a decent fit. I tried my normal size, 8.5 and it was extremely tight. I next tried a 9, not too sure, so I tried a 9.5, wide, but length not all that bad. I finally tried the 9 again and laced it a bit looser, and whoa la, success. comfortable and a nice looking boot The 9 is a keeper. I had tried a different style in and 8.5 and also a 9, and found the same problem. Sorel is a bit weird with their sizing, I am finally happy with the 9 Explorer Joan

Great boot. Warm and comfy at the same time steady and stylish. Love them but I am always an 8 and needed extra room in the width.

Perfect fit and comfort in a waterproof boot? These deliver. My third pair of Sorel. Few brands can compare.

I absolutely love these boots. I bought them a couple of weeks ago and have been wearing them non-stop ever since. They are so comfortable - it's like you have sneakers on. I haven't been out in bitterly cold weather with them yet but in December Vermont weather, they've kept my feet very warm. I ordered a half size larger after reading all of the reviews. I am typically a 7 1/2 and bought them in an 8. They fit perfectly. I highly recommend them.

I’m usually an 8.5, sometimes an 8. I got these in a 9.5 and the fit is great. They definitely run small but are so comfortable compared to the other clunky snow boots I have!

I usually wear a 10, so ordered a 10.5 and an 11, based on other’s reviews. The 10.5 fit perfectly. These are warm and comfy—the best part for me is how lightweight they are compared to my other winter boots—it’s like wearing a pair of sneakers.

The comfiest winter boot I have ever worn. They are light weight but durable. Dress them up or dress them down. The fur is so soft and warm!

Based on other reviews, I sized one whole size up. I normally wear a 9 and ordered these in a 10. They fit perfect and are super comfortable. Very warm, too! The gray goes with everything.

I usually wear a 10 in most boots, sometimes a 10.5, depending on the brand. For this style I had to go up a full size to 11 and they fit really well. I tried a 10.5 in person, based on reviews and was surprised to find they were too short in length. They didn’t have an 11 in stock, so I ordered from Zappos. They’re incredible comfortable and fairly low profile for a winter boot, which is what I was looking for in an everyday boot where the winter is relatively mild. They do feel like sneakers, which helps when you’re rushing through an airport.

These boots have been awesome from the minute I put them on my feet! Bought them for NYC vacation in December to keep my feet warm and dry. There was no break in time, they were super comfy from the start. Wore them with wool socks and my feet were soooo warm!

I absolutely love my boots! They are comfy, match with almost every outfit (I ordered the Camel brown with grey) and I get so many compliments on them! I would recommend getting a 0.5 size larger than normal, but I wear a thicker sock with mine. (I typically wear a 9 and ordered a 9.5) I would recommend these boots to any woman looking for a quality boot! I can wear them to work or running errands.

Plum normally between a 7 and 7 1/2 and I ordered an 8 bc of other reviews and the fit is perfect! I am usually an Ugg only gal bc they are the only shoes/boots I have found to actually keep my feet warm. I took a chance on these and they have kept my feet just as warm as Uggs! And they feel more like a tennis shoe and not clunky Ugg. Very, very happy!

Possibly my favorite boots ever! They are so comfortable, warm and fuzzy. Great for walking in light snow and for temperatures 15 degrees and warmer. I would suggest going up a half size as they run slightly small.

Love the boot, but order a half size larger than your normal size. I wear an 8 or 8 1/2. Ordered the 8 1/2, too small, returned. Ordered the 9 1/2, too large, returned. *Sigh. Ordered a 9, just right. Don’t give up, find the right size will make you a camper.

I purchased the Explorer Joan boots as my 2nd pair of Sorels for Chicago winters and they have been comfortable, warm, and stylish for city wear. I typically wear a size 6 but purchased these in size 6.5 after reading reviews that the shoes run small. Definitely happy that I purchased a half size bigger to accommodate thicker wool socks. Very satisfied with my purchase!

I absolutely love these boots! They are incredibly comfortable and warm, but do run very small compared to the other pair of Sorel boots I own. I’m usually between an 8.5 and 9, but actually needed a 10 in these.
