So I have a size 11.5 - its nearly impossible for me to find shoes my size- so I got these in size 12 and I figured it would be better to hav a little wiggle room than being too tight, the size 12 is perfect I can wear thick socks and they're just so comfortable; especially at my large odd sized feet its truly a miracle to find a COMFORTABLE boot/shoe! So thanks Sorel.

Love this boot! It's comfortable, wore it to travel on day 1 and walked through big airports in comfort. It's very warm, too! It definitely runs small, but I ordered my true size. I won't switch them but it's snug for my true size. The grey boot is not quite the dark color it shows in the picture, but I liked it enough to keep it.

These are great boots! They keep my feet really warm and are super cute. I would size up in them! I read other reviews saying to order a full size up and I am glad I did. They fit great!

Once again, Sorel comes through for happy feet. Ancient Fossil is nice color, not too light. Fit is pretty true to size, runs maybe, a smidge smaller than Joan of Arctics . Warm, but not overly so, i still like a thick cozy sock

These run small. I normally wear a 9 in sorels and I ordered these in 9.5 and they fit perfect. If you wanted to wear super thick socks, you may want to consider ordering a full size larger. These were cute but definitely look like a snow boot versus a casual boot so ultimately I returned them.

Reading reviews, I was worried about sizing- I normally always wear a 10, but I ordered a full size up (11) in these boots based on reviews saying they run a bit small- so glad I did! They fit perfect, enough room to wear thicker socks with, but not too big even with thin or no socks. These boots are super comfortable and warm. Haven't worn them through snow yet, so can't comment on how waterproof they are or how comfortable they would be on long treks, but these will definitely be my go-to throw on shoes all winter.

Time and time again I keep coming back to these boots whether going to the grocery store on to my kids' soccer games. They're stylish and comfortable.

Love this shoe and it's very comfortable and stylish. The only issue is that I had to order a size and a half larger than I'd normally wear since they run small. I think the shoe itself is probably the correct size, but with the added fur inside, it decreases the room your foot has.

These boot are attractive and very comfortable (good arch support, the insole feels cushioned), and very warm. However, I found they ran extremely small - I wear an 8 or 8.5, and ordered a 9 and 9.5 to try based on other reviews. I was shocked that the 9 was too small (my toes touched the end of the toe box) and the 9.5 fit beautifully - I have never worn a 9.5 shoe in my life! Size up, and you won't regret your purchase!

I love these boots. I typically wear an 8 1/2 but knew I'd want to wear these with thick socks. So I ordered the 9 and they fit perfect.

Overall these are so cute, so comfortable, and so warm!!! But - I'm a little annoyed, because I read the reviews before purchasing and debated so hard which size to order. So many said "a whole size" bigger. Unless you have fat feet AND wearing thick socks, you don't need a WHOLE size bigger!! Think about the size of your feet and the type of socks you plan to wear before purchasing. I am a 9, ordered a 10, and they're huge. I definitely could deal with a 9. Check the photo I uploaded. ONLY reason why I am going to order a 9.5 is because I want to allow space for thicker socks.

Although I love the boots made by this company, the sizing tends to be a little bit off. I went to my local outdoors store to try on some Sorel boots before I bought them. Because I have a gift card I wanted to buy the boots online, but the last pair of Sorel boots were not sized right for my foot, so I decided to try on some of their different brands first and then order them. When I went to my local store, these shoes fit great, but I had to buy a whole size bigger than usual. I usually wear an eight, but I had to buy a nine (which fit perfectly). I would definitely recommend the boots, but be cognizant of the sizing!

These shoes are very comfortable and keep my feet warm and dry in the Michigan winter. The only issue I had was they were a little wider than expected so I had to tighten the laces as tight as the shoe allowed. After wearing them for a full winter season of daily dog walking I noticed my heel was a little sore suggesting the cushion wore out a little.

Beautiful and functional. Extremely warm and cushioned inside which was a nice surprise. Usually a 7.5 in sorel and ordered a 9. Perfect fit with one or two pairs of lightweight socks.

I bought these for my teen and she LOVES them. I got them on sale intending them for next winter, but I can't get her out of them. Please, listen to the reviews; I bought a full size up and they fit her with just a little to spare.

These boots feel great and look really cute. I like the fluffy tops to keep them feminine and the rubber soles feel like running shoes. I also like the height as they are just tall enough for warmth but not too tall on my athletic legs. I got them in Camel and Quarry. Our winters can be cold in North Texas and these will help keep my ankles warm.

These boots are so comfortable! They do run about a 1/2 size small - I usually wear an 8 1/2 in boots and needed a 9 in these, I also have a wide foot and I have plenty of toe room!! Would definitely recommend!
