I ordered this in the rich wine color and it is really a pretty boot. I wanted to love it so much, but I found that it runs small. Inside there is nice soft "fur" but it is snug. I am between a 10.5 and an 11, somewhat narrow. This was just too short for me, and since it isn't offered in a larger size I have to return it. It's made well, very attractive, and probably (if it fits!) a really comfortable, light weight little boot. I wish it had fit a little better. If you have a smaller foot than I do, order up a half size or so.

Wore these boots for the first time yesterday. Was keeping my fingers crossed as my feet are rather wide and after reading some of the reviews I was thinking they may be too narrow. Was also doubting my choice of whether or not to order up a size, which I didn't. The boots fit wonderfully!!! Warm and so darned cute! Am so loving that the shaft of this boot isn't so rigid. Would have given a 5 star for comfort but I have an arch issue and if I recall arch support isn't one of these boots strong points in the reviews. I purchased anyway. So happy I did. Love them!

Love these boots. The fleece lining is more cozy than I expected, and the comfort is amazing I don't even realize they're on my feet! I can walk around NYC all day in them. I ordered size 6 and am normally 5.5 and they fit perfectly.

I love these boots! I had been looking for black boots that were both stylish and would keep my feet toasty (but not sweaty)! These boots fit the bill in every way! And they're waterproof! I'd say they fit somewhere between true to size and slightly small. I typically wear a 9.5 in sneakers, but got these in a 10 and they fit great. I'd love to have these in every color.

These boots are comfy and warm. Also these boots are stylistic because they are not too bulky. Absolutely love them.

These are the most comfy and warm boots I have ever had. They fit great, are lightweight and make me feel as though I will not slip on the ice on the roads or sidewalks. They look great as well.

Can't say anything but GREAT things about these boots. Amazing color selection, so comfortable, and very stylish (they go with every outfit nicely!). I purchased the Grey color ones, I will definitely purchase the blacks as well. They do run slightly small, I do recommend going up 1/2 size than your normal shoe size. I'm usually a 6 and had to get 6.5 as it fits PERFECT. Other than that, they are AMAZING especially for these winter Minnesota day. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I am normally a 6.5 or 7 in boots. After reading other reviews that these run small, I decided to order the 7 because I don't have a single pair of shoes that are 7.5. The 7 was a little snug, so I ordered 7.5 to compare, and the 7.5 was maybe a tad looser than I would have liked. I ended up keeping the 7.5 though because I think after walking around, the 7's just would have been too small. They are super stylish and comfortable! I just tried mine with regular socks but I'm sure thicker socks would make the 7.5's fit perfectly.

I read the review and thus ordered a half size larger than I ever wear. This fit great and I have worn them a lot, including a 5 mile walk. I found them very comfortable and warm. They are also pretty cute. When I come in from outdoors they are so comfortable I don't even want to take them off so find I wear them up until bedtime.

For reference, I wear a 9 in most sorel shoes and boots, but After reading multiple reviews stating to size up a half size, that's what I did, I sized up to a 9.5, unfortunately they are still way too small. There is no way I could even stretch them with thick socks, I put them on barefoot and with thin socks and my toes were at the end. I think, that if I would have gone up a whole size, they may have fit. I am only disappointed they're too small, the boot is great and so is the quality, as usual, and just disappointed because I need a new snow boot and was so excited to receive these. They are a gorgeous shade of black, with faux fur on the outside, inside a nice warm lining.

I love these boots! I live in Minnesota, so I need sturdy, water-proof boots that are also cute and work with different types of outfits. These boots are definitely doing the trick!

I went back and forth on what color I wanted to get but then they started selling out so I just got the black. They are sooo cute and so comfortable. I wear them casually and they look great with my leggings or skinny jeans. I love the small trim of fur at the top; it's a great contrasting detail. I would get more colors in the same style if I could afford it. I sized up half a size because of previous reviews. It was a good call. I might have been able to wear my regular size, but these give me room to wear thick socks. Otherwise, they are easy to get on and off and fit very nicely. Definitely not tight and not overly roomy.

I knew that Sorels were great from a feeble people recommending them, but I didn't know that I would want to wear these boots everyday! They are very warm, comfortable, and easy to put on. They have good traction and are waterproof, making winter already much easier. I love them!!

I typically wear a 7 and 1/2 to 8. I had to have an eight and a half in this boot. So I would definitely recommend going up half a size from the largest size is that you normally wear. Super comfortable, good arch support which is something I need. Stylish and perfect for the lodge and according to Sorel should also be good for snowball fights.

I read reviews before I ordered and like most say they do run small. I typically wear a 7.5 in sandals and an 8 in sneakers, I ordered an 8.5 in these boots and they fit perfectly!

These boots are exactly what I was looking for- cute and stylish but also warm and able to take on winter days. Very happy with my purchase. I did buy half a size up because of other reviews and not sure this was necessary but I do have room for thick wool socks.

These boots are so comfortable and warm! They fit true to size. Light weight so when I'm running errands they don't feel bulky but yet they keep my feet warm.

The cutest purchase I bought so far from Sorel. I got so many compliments. Its comfortable and stylish. The only thing I would say is that it runs a little small. I usually wear an 8 ordered 8.5 and it's still a bit snug. Otherwise love it!
