I love these boots. They are perfect lightweight boots for out and about but wouldn’t be recommend for going through lots of snow. I followed what others said about ordering a size up and they fit great. I usually wear a 7 and ordered an 8.

I love these boots. I ordered them in grey and they are prefect and very comfortable. I ordered an 8, because i typically wear a 7.5 in other brands. I will have no issue wearing these with thick socks. Based on other reviews i considered ordering a full size up, but i'm glad i didn't. I almost think i could have been fine with 7.5's, but the 8's will be just fine. I look forward to wearing these.

I went up a size like everyone said, and it was a good idea. I’m a 7.5 in most sneakers, so I went up to a 8 and I am able to wear fuzzy socks with them. They are very warm and I so far have not felt any cold, wet Chicago winter elements enter the boots

I ordered a 1/2 size up (as I read many reviewers recommend) from my normal shoes size and they fit great, I will also have room for comfy socks. These boots are so comfortable, like walking on clouds. Love them.

These boots are comfy and warm but the style wasn’t me so I’ll be returning. I’m a 7.5 but sized up 1/2 a size to an 8 based on other reviews and the fit was perfect. Could wear warmer socks if needed but honestly, these things are super warm on their own.

Like everyone else- I ordered up half a size. I usually wear a size 10 but, I like to wear a thick sock because my feet are always cold.
They are very warm and extremely comfortable.
The only thing I'm not 100% in love with is the fur that comes outside the top of the boot.

These boots put Ugg to SHAME! They fit like a glove. Bought the grey ones and had no issues with fit as others are talking about. True to size for me. Wore them in Denver where it was 22 degrees over the holidays and it served the purpose just AWESOME. Didn't feel like I was a wood cutter and felt sassy in them. I was able to travel all day through airports and on the plane freezing in them and never got cold or did my feet hurt. Love love LOVE them.

Wow, I LOVE these! They are so cute and comfy! I was skeptical that I would need a full size bigger like other reviewers mentioned, so I ordered two pairs of these (I usually wear a 6 and I ordered a 6.5 and a 7). Sure enough, I didn't have enough room in the 6.5! So order up. They are so cute though. They seem like they will be very warm. I have a pair of the Sorel Tivoli from a couple years ago, and I've never been quite happy with them. These are keepers.

These are Awesome! Winter came early to Chicago, and I'm so glad I had these here and ready! Light weight, waterproof, warm and comfy! I normally wear 8.5 or 9 in a regular shoe, and took the advice of others (THANK YOU for writing informative reviews!) and ordered a 10. Perfect fit. I have a narrowish foot and the fit is nice and secure. Not as slip resistant as I would like--they are good in slush and snow, a little dicey on actual ice...but then I'm looking for gecko stickiness there when I'm walking my 3 yr old Golden Retriever. :) If I had room for them in my apartment, I'd order one in each color.

I wear an 8.5 in sneakers so that’s what I ordered. I found the fit to be somewhat the same. I do not wear heavy socks with my boots just Nike drift crew socks. If you were going to wear heavy socks I’d go up 1/2 a size.
The good and the bad ..... the very first time I wore these was to do an 8k walk on Thanksgiving Morning. It was 7 degrees F . After about 1 mile my feet started to sweat - I was very warm my feet never felt cold but because of the moisture I did get blisters on both my heels and both pinky toes.(my fault for wearing new shoes) That being said on Saturday morning when I needed to wear the boots to trek through the snow and hike in the fields they felt comfortably stretched and did not rub anyplace on my feet. I stayed warm and dry in the snow covered ground while the weather was sleeting rain. I was outdoors for approximately 90 minutes.
I bought these boots because I work in a garage. I need a boot that has the comfort and support of a sneaker, the flexibility for driving but the warmth and waterproofing a boot has. These fit the bill.

Love the style of this boot. Warm and comfy. They’re a functional snow boot unlike some that are too bulky to drive in and wear around town. I ordered the black and loved them so much I ordered the gray too.

Bought these for my teenage daughter who is hard to please. She absolutely loves them and they arrived just before the snow did so they were immediately tested and they kept her warm and dry.

These boots are comfortable right out of the box. I'm glad I ordered a half size up for heavy socks although the liner makes them pretty toasty so most times thin socks will most likely do for warmth

I just received my pair of Explorer Joan boot in the mail and I LOVE them! They are super comfy, cute, and look well made! I am excited that they are waterproof as I live in the PNW.
I read the reviews and ordered a half size big and I will recommend that to anyone else considering the boot! Usually I wear a 7.5, so I ordered an 8 and they fit perfectly.

love this boot, bought it in gray, perfect with denim. Wore these boots to the NY Thanksgiving Day parade and my feet were toasty! I normally wear a 7 and looked at the reviews and sized up to 7.5; snug but perfect fit after a few wears.

I tried these on in black and fell in love, then tried the gray and there was no going back. I wear and 8.5 or a 9 and these in a 9 are perfection.
I don't even think that I will wear socks with them as they are cozy and warm and very comfortable. I've been a SOREL fan all my life but these are like a whole new generation. Feel like a sneaker but protect like a boot. love love love.

Was glad I read the reviews and sized up. Normally wear a 7, but ordered an 8. The fit is good, but only with regular socks. There would not be room for extra heavy socks. Love the style and color (rich wine). Would have preferred black soles, but I can live with the white.

These boots are awesome! Exactly the support I was looking for. Was able to walk around in NYC all day and not have any foot pain or cramping at night. They’ve held up in rain no problem too, as advertised. So happy with this purchase! My ultimate winter boot. Take advice of other reviews and order half a size up.
