These are so cute and really comfortable! They do run about a half size small, so be aware of that. They're great to throw on and run around in or if you're walking on packed trails, with them being so low cut, I wouldn't wear them in snow more than a couple inches deep

I love these boots. I wore them during a trip to Montana in January. My feet stayed warm and dry during 20 degree weather, when hiking in the snow, on gravel and dirt trails. I went up to size 7.5M, as I wanted to wear heavier ski socks. I normally wear 6.5M. I added an insole for slightly better arch support. They look good and worked out very well, except they are not a hiking boot and provide very little traction. I might even worry about slipping and falling if sidewalks or flooring are slick from water or ice. The suede looks good even after plenty of time outdoors, most dirt brushes off once dry.

These were super cute but incredibly small. I usually can fit in a 7 or a 7.5, and even the 7.5 felt a full size too small. They were a little narrow too which is surprising since the style was kind of chunky. I wish they worked out because they were so cute!

I bought these boots in the darker shade and they actually look really nice on. Good everyday winter boot that doesn't feel massive. I live in MN so the winters are cold and these are great because they are fuzzy inside. I will say that these boots are NOT for snowy conditions. The soles are like tennis shoes and have no traction. I would not advise for snow covered or icy sidewalks. Size up half a size, they do run slightly small.

Color was off (burro is actually grey - disappointing) and small by 1/2 size.
Nice looking and quality was there.

This shoe is comfortable right out of the box, even the upper part of the shoe allows you to move as you need, with no rubbing or constricting feeling, with the soft lining an added bonus. This shoe feels like you are wearing a stylish, super warm, and comfortable gym shoe. I usually wear a 10 in gym shoes, but with boots I can wear a 9 up to a 10, but with these, I originally purchased a 9.5 (returned), then I purchased a 10 (returned), with my final purchase being an 11.

These boots look great and are very comfortable, but they run very small. I typically wear a size 8 in work and casual shoes, and a size 9 in running shoes. Based on other reviews I ordered a size 9, but actually a size 10 fit best. Two full sizes larger than my typical shoes! There is a warm inner lining that I think makes the shoe fit smaller than the stated size.

I really wanted to keep these boots. I always wear a size 6 and the 6 was too small, too short in the toe. I love the look of these boots . I bought a pair for my daughter. she loves them and gets lots of compliments on them. I would definitely recommend the boots but I would suggest going up a half size

Love them so much that I had to buy these as a second pair. Fit is definitely small, I had to order a full size up but The fact that they are extremely comfortable and warm makes up for that.

Cute bootie, but felt slightly small. I usually take a 8.5 in shoes and I felt as if my big toe was crammed in the front.

Such a stylish boot. I usually wear a 7/7.5 in Sorel - I have about 6 different styles of their shoes/slippers/boots. I have never ordered an 8, but I definitely needed it in these. I am so bummed they do not have an 8 available in my preferred color now. Size up for sure!

So cute and will definitely keep your feet warm! The felt part makes them feel cheap almost, but they are sturdy and warm. I have a pair of Sorels in a 7.5 and another in an 8. These I had to get an 8.5. I probably could have done a 9 too if I wanted to wear thicker socks.

Feels at least 1/2 size small, but so do the Tivolis and many others, so not surprised. Cute boot.

I was really excited to get these boots but they were too small. I normally wear between 8.5 and 9 so i ordered a 9 but they were just too tight for my comfort. I was hoping to exchange for a bigger size but they're out of stock. The quality was excellent and they were super cute.

They definitely run small. I got a whole size larger. Once I exchanged and had the proper size they fit great they are comfortable and very very warm. Usually wear an 8- 8.5 and ended up with a 9 in these.

I like this boot a lot. Not heavy at all, but they do run on the smaller side. I had to return mine and order the next size up. They are also narrow, so if you have a wider foot, don't expect to wear bulky socks with these.i am a 7.5 but I had to go with an 8. Also, I had ordered the explorer boot with the camo detail at the top. Unfortunately, I ended up returning these and not repurchasing. The color is way darker in person and doesn't look like the picture at all.

I have tried on COUNTLESS winter boots this season. No one makes wide boots, including Sorel (please considering making!!), but these give and you can tie the laces loosely. They are so comfortable and surprisingly warm. I stood in snow on purpose and they are totally waterproof. The snow slid off the boots so easily. Order a full size up as others have said. I bought the brown ones and am now ordering the black ones as well because they are so comfortable. My only issue is the tread. They don't seem to be super grippy. It would be so awesome if you guys made boots designed to grip ice....maybe next year??? Overall a great boot though!

I received different sized boots. A nine and an eight. The nine was too snug, so I should have gone up a size. The store doesn't have them in larger sizes. This was a disappointing purchase experience.

These boots are a comfy, light winter boot that are super cute! I ordered the color quarry and it was definitely a lighter gray than the picture but still a nice color. I usually wear a 9.5 in Sorel but ordered a 10 in these and they were a little snug. After wearing them for a little they broke in nicely and are super comfortable.

Love this super cute and cozy boot! I had to size up half a size from my normal Sorel size (from 7 to 7.5) and it's still a bit small, but works fine with thin socks. Faux fur is cute and adds a nice little detail. Wish the laces pulled through the loops a bit easier (you have to kind of pull the lace through each loop when tightening up), but they do stay on when untied or lose.

Really, really wanted to love these boots....they are cuter in person. However, the fit is for someone with really narrow feet, which I don't have.... I should have listened to the other reviews and stayed away, but they are so cute! Sorry Sorel, you and I don't get along.....

I'm normally a 7 in all shoes, however with all Sorel sizing, these are off. I have 7's in my sandals, I have 7's in my conquest boot, 8's in my Joan of Artic. These I ordered a 7 in the Coal, thinking that with no fur lining they would fit. They were much too small. I would size up at least 1/2 a size or whole size.
