I am usually an 8, bought the 8 in grey and my toes were smashed. I exchanged for the 8.5 and they fit a little better, but after a full day of walking, my toes were hurting. Ordered a 9 in black. They are a bit big, but with socks I think they will be perfect.

Absolutely love these!!! Lightweight and extremely comfortable and warm. What more could you ask for. They do run a full size smaller than my regular shoes, and a half size smaller than my other Sorels. Bought more for Christmas presents!!

As all the reviews state these run SMALL! They are a great boot but you need to go up a full size. Trust the reviews.

I usually wear an 8. I tried these in 8, 8.5, and 9. I kept the 9. These are super warm and very comfortable. They are definitely more supportive than Uggs. I haven't tried these in the snow yet but they've done well in the cold.

I love these boots! I was looking for a waterproof warm shoe to wear to NYC in December, but that I could also wear during the more mild California winters, as well as occasional snow trips to Tahoe. These ticked all the boxes. They are not too bulky or clunky. They held up during a very heavy downpour - my feet stayed warm and dry, even when I stepped in a puddle. They kept me warm during a 35 F evening. They are very comfortable to walk long distances in and they look simple and cute.

These are great shoes! I love the microfleece lining, it keeps my feet warm and I don't even need to put on socks if I want to have a quick jaunt outside. It has kept my feet dry in the snow and has good traction in icy conditions. Like other Sorel shoes I've bought, these do tend to run a little smaller in size than other brands, but since I have a really small foot I like that I can pretend to be a larger size ;) I usually wear a size 5 or 5.5 depending on the brand, and wear a size 6 in Sorel boots so I can wear it with a heavy sock.

These boots are very stylish and comfortable on your feet and legs while you walk around, I was out all day and never got cold or uncomfortable.
I highly recommend these to anyone looking for quality boots for themselves or as a gift.

Really cute snow boot but runs smaller than most sorels. I’m hoping they break in a bit, I’m normally a 7.5 in all shoes but these are a bit tight.

Can't say enough good things about these boots. They are exquisitely comfortable as I have found to be true for all of my Sorel boots. The quarry/black color is much prettier than the picture. My shoe size seems to vary between an 8 and an 8 1/2. In these the 8 1/2 are the perfect fit

I absolutely love these boots! True to the other reviews, they do run narrow but that's actually perfect for me because I wear an 11N, which is basically impossible to find. These are so cute, don't make my long feet look like boats, lace up really nicely. They also really do have a sneaker feel/fit. I fit my orthodic in them and they are awesome. I've worn them almost every day since I bought them. I did spray them with a leather/suede protectant but so far so good. Totally worth the money.

Most of the reviews said to order a size up but in boots I am a size 8 so I ordered 8 and 8.5. The 8 fit perfectly! It felt like I was walking in fluffy clouds.

Order these half size up from my normal 8.5, but then had to exchange fir 9.5. Zappos was awesome and sent out immediately. Wore these brand new boots all over NYC with no pain or blisters. They were a dream and warm as well. I did put my inserts in to help my back. The liner came out and I popped them in for my perfect fit. I highly recommend!

LOVE this boot! I had it in my cart for too long and finally committed to it. Couldn't be happier! It feels like a flexible sneaker, but with the warmth and coverage of a nice boot. It's not heavy and clunky and easy to move around in. Comfortable to have on all day. The material is very supple and soft and truly waterproof. After just buying them I spilled coffee all over my car and got some on my boots. Cleaning them with warm water and a cloth an hour later...they were like brand new! I love the wine color, but could absolutely buy another in another color. I normally wear a 10-11 depending on brand. With Sorel I have gone for 11 and it's been too big (especially with the more wintery heavy boots). So I opted for the 10.5 because I knew I would wear it with thick socks. It's a little tight on the right foot with my toes, but with normal/thinner socks, it's no problem. I know I would be swimming in the 11, so the 10.5 was perfect.

These Sorel boots are the best! They are extremely warm by themselves! No need to wear thick boot socks! They are also so comfy and look great with every outfit! I got them in the rich wine and they are great!

Got these for a snowy mountain weekend filled with dancing, snowshoeing and wandering around town. This was the only pair of shoes I brought. No regrets. They were cute and functional.

Super cute and functional boots! These will be great for my winters in VT when I don't feel like wearing my clunky Joan of Arctic boots. HOWEVER - I am typically a size 8 with a fairly wide foot. I have to order a full size and a half up. I ordered a 9 originally and even with thin socks were still tighter than I would have liked. Zappos awesome and easily swapped them out for a 9.5 which fits perfectly with thicker wool socks!
The toe area is very narrow so keep this in mind when you are ordering. I did notice that the ankle area is a bit bigger than I would ideally like on the 9.5, but they fit, they are warm, comfortable, and stylish enough for me to wear out to dinner in cold weather!
