Warm, comfortable and stylish. Ordered an 8. Usually wear a 7. Wish they had better tread for winter conditions.

I LOVE these boots but they are considerably lighter than the picture on line. I bought the Quarry Black but they are very grey...light grey. Other than that I super love them and appreciate the comfort that they provide just like all of my other boots from sorel. I saw that some posted that they ran small but I thought not. I ordered my regular size and they fit perfect like my other boots...I have very narrow feet which may have something to do with it?? I am happy with my purchase other than my wishing for the color in the first and second to last picture shown.

These boots were a great buy! I wore them all winter in the snow and slush and my feet stayed dry! I also received so many compliments on them! They are a great stylish boot that keep your feet warm and dry!

Such a comfortable boot. I got it a half size big so I can wear thick socks. They are so warm that my feet almost get too hot. the quarry color is great! I would highly recommend this boot. It is possible to take the insole out if you need to insert a custom orthotic insole into this boot.

Although I have a bunion on my right foot, I found this boot to have plenty of room. Best part of that, my left foot had a good fit too, not so extra roomy so that my foot moved around inside. I wore these all day at work the first big snow we had - they were comfortable all day and plenty warm when outside. I received several 'cute boot' comments as well. Overall, I really love this boot, and this is coming from someone who has a lot of trouble finding a pair that works. Many other brands were tried and returned.

This is my 6th pair of Sorel boots. Obviously I love them. They are so warm, and especially comfortable and lightweight. These boots are a must-have. Love Love Love my Sorels.

Super cozy and comfortable boot. Lightweight. Does run small. I typically wear a size 9 -- but sometimes have to size up to 9.5 with Sorel footwear. This boot fits snug with socks for me in a size 9.5.

I ordered and held onto this pair because these were perfect in style and comfort. I never got the chance to wear them out because our winter was mild. They seem very warm due to the lining and great for cold weather. I'm not sure how they would hold up in deep snow, around the tongue in the front of the shoe. I would order from Sorel with Zappos again.

love these boots, however I needed a full size larger. I have a narrow foot and always order a 1/2 size smaller in Sorels . Unfortunately I have to return them and my size is sold out.

I absolutely LOVE these boots!! I was reading the reviews before I ordered them and I would normally get a size 5 however the reviews said to size up a half size if you wear thick socks which I do! I'm very glad I did! I live in Minnesota and got these boots just in time for the snow storms we've been having. I would highly highly recommend these boots! I also love that I can wear them with just about anything and still be stylish! they are the perfect snow boot!

Agree with other reviews to size up! I’m usually an 8-8.5, and I went with the 9 and they fit perfectly! Super cute and warm. Haven’t worn them out in ice/snow yet, so not sure how they will perform, but very pleased overall!

Waited until these boots were finally in my size & so happy that I did. I wear an 8.5 & the 8.5 fit perfectly. Didn't have to break them in - immediately comfortable. Just love Sorel and as a plus these boots are waterproof & haven't had any problem with them getting wet. Also very warm.

I wear 8.5 hiking and running shoes and all other boots including sorels. Size 8 for heels and sandals. I found the 8.5 in these to be true to size. If you order the size you would usually order for running or hiking shoes, with medium weight socks, they are true to size. Very cozy with the fur, cushy, great support.

These are an amazing boot, very warm and feels like your wearing a sneaker. They do run very small and highly recommend going an entire size or half size up.

The color of these boots are AMAZING!! They keep your feet nice and warm and are literally perfect!! I wish I can get all the color available, but they have sold fast! If you are wanting these, get them while you can! BEAUTIFUL is all I can say! If you like to wear thicker socks in winter, I would suggest going up a half size. I am normally a 7.5 and had to return them for an 8, luckily they have a few more eights available!!

Great shoe and super cute! Fur lining inside and the fit is very comfortable. Definitely glad I read reviews. Get a half to a full size up for these. I normally get a 7.5 or 8 and I got the 8.5. They feel a tiny bit snug with thick socks so I plan on wearing with regular socks.

I was looking for a lightweight, waterproof, insulated winter boot that had decent traction but didn't feel too bulky (more like a winter sneaker). Boy, did these check off those boxes! I have to admit they feel really good and comfy. I wished it had a little better traction on the sole but it's probably pretty good, except maybe icy conditions. I wear a 7.5 Sorel Lolla boot but this one would have needed to go up to a size 8 (out of stock). I begrudgingly decided to send these back not only due to sizing but also because I was looking for something that wasn't quite so casual (more of an in between this and a dressier lace up, but still with winter boot qualities).
I'd also recommend:
Sorel, Keen, Sperry

This is a great boot for cold, rain, winter elements, or other. I always wear an 11 in Sorel boots, that's 1/2 size up from my regular shoe size of 10 1/2. Perfect fit out of the box! I have toe box issues & this boot has plenty of room for my toes & the width was good for my medium width feet. The boot is like a warm winter boot sneaker & I didn't want to take them off when I tried them on. Colors were all sold out except gray & I grabbed it even though I wanted black. The gray is not a light gray but a deeper, darker gray & I am happy with it. I highly recommend this boot if you can get your size.
I'd also recommend:
Vans, Saucony

LOVE these boots. Very stylish. Everyone has complimented on them. One thing I do recommend though.... Buy 1 size up. For example... Im a size 6 and purchased a 7 and they fit perfectly. The fit ration is def 75% true to fit.
