Love the look of this boot for everyday casual. The fur gives it a more feminine touch. I prefer the lighter tan tone. The pictures online do not do them justice. They are also warm. I normally wear an 8, but had to return and order an 8.5.

Stylish, comfortable, and warm. My new winter go-to shoe! I am normally a size 8, I ordered an 8.5 and they fit perfect. Like walking on air.

I bought these boots about 2 months ago. I was looking for something that were warm but a little more fashionable than a snow boot. These boots are warm (I wear them in the rink for my son's hockey) and super comfortable. I'm usually a size 8 but went with a size 8.5 and they fit great. I would definitely go up half a size. Very happy with these boots!

I have a number of Sorel boots and wanted these for a more casual look. These boots are very light weight but warm enough for winter walks. Highly recommend. Run small, order up a size.

These are stylish, warm, comfortable, and best of all their waterproof!! I recommend ordering a size up, as these run a little small. I usually wear 6 or 6.5 but I ordered size 7 and they fit great. :-D

I have had these for a few months now and I'm OBSESSED! They are so cute and extremely comfortable. I wanted something that would get me through a Minnesota winter without looking clunky and ugly! I got a pair for my sister too and we both get so many compliments when we wear them too! I usually wear a size 10 for shoes but I saw reviews to go a half size up and I'm so glad I did because the 10.5 fit perfect!

I'm very happy with this purchase. These boots are extremely comfortable, warm and waterproof. I normally wear a size 9. Based on other reviews that stated these boots run a little small I ordered a 9.5 and the fit is perfect.

I ordered a half size larger than normal and they fit perfectly. I walk 3-4 miles a day in winter weather and these keep my feet warm and comfortable.

After reading reviews, ordered a full size larger than normal, and was glad. Still felt a little narrow near toes, but have stretched since wearing them. Size up for sure.

Overall: So cute, so warm, so comfortable. Have not worn these is snow or rain yet. They are soft and cozy on the inside. My feet are toasty in 30°F weather.
Fit: I am usually a size 10 in sorel boots. (I range from 9.5-10 in shoes and boots in other brands- but sorel I am usually consistently a 10) However, I required a 10.5 in these sorel boots. These fit perfectly- a 10 would have been too small.

I ordered a size 10, when I normally wear a 9 1/2.
Glad I did. These boots have a thick fleece liner inside. They are too tight when I wear regular socks, so I bought some boot liners from REI. Works perfect. Boots feel great and my feet don't sweat!

Highly recommend these boots! I do not have wide feet, but I do have a bunion that requires some room. I ordered a half size up and the fit is perfect with regular socks. If I wanted room for thick socks I would have needed a full size up. I've tried them out in the snow and ice, and they are definitely waterproof and warm with good traction. Plus they are super cute!

I never write reviews but I absolutely love these boots!! They are so comfortable, stylish, warm, and I have basically worn them every day since I got them. I read the reviews that they run small and ordered 1/2 size up and a full size up and kept the full size up.

Like all the Sorel boots and shoes that I have, I need a size 7, rather than my usual size 6.5 for other shoes - so to me, these fit true to size! They are extremely comfortable right out of the box- I wore them for the first time walking in snow, and they provided good traction. My feet stayed warm and dry. They fir a bit narrow - as other reviewers have noted - but there is enough “give” in them to be really comfortable. Highly recommend!

I love these. Super cute in this color and feels neutral. Comfortable and stylish and warm. Win all around. I bought them in my normal size. My heel is narrow and they are great. Moderate arch support.

Seriously, the most comfortable boots ever!! I read the reviews prior to purchasing and purchased a size larger than I typically wear based upon the recommendations. Perfect. I have bunions on both feet, finding shoes that fit and don't cause pain due to being too constricting is a problem. These are wonderful. Super light weight, not clunky and so darn comfortable. I'm now a SOREL fan for life.

These run very small, but are super cute and comfortable. I’m a 6.5, so after reading reviews I ordered a 7. Those were way too small so I returned them for a 7.5. Those were still too small so now I’m waiting on my size 8 to arrive!

The boots are lightweight, comfortable and fit true to size (I went up half a size). I have not worn them outside yet. But intend to use them for dog walking during the winter.

I always wear a size 9.5in Sorel, I saw the other reviews say that these run small so I ordered a 10. They are pretty perfect, could have possibly tried a 10.5. Very soft and warm, a good addition to my Sorel collection!

We love these boots. This is the fourth pair I have bought. My daughters started borrowing mine so we just keep ordering different colors. They are so comfortable and warm. I can literally walk for ages in these boots and my feet are completely comfortable. It is rare for me to find boots that I can wear for long periods with no discomfort. They have held up very well also to snow, mud, etc. I have wiped them down and they look brand new.

I normally wear an 8 or 81/2, so I ordered a nine in this boot. Had to return it for a 91/2. This fits now and I can wear warm socks. Very light weight and easy to walk in.

First I ordered these over the weekend and it’s Monday evening in rural Arkansas and they have already been delivered! I normally wear a size 8 across the board, but after reading the reviews I ordered an 8.5 in these and they fit perfect. I could have probably gone up another 1/2 size if I wanted to wear thick socks, so regardless size up. They are cute, comfortable, and I’m so happy I ordered them. Tomorrow I plan to wear them all day at work, so if I have a change of heart I will do a follow up. Thank you Zappos for the amazing delivery time and always wonderful customer service!
