These boots look great, however they are no way true to size. Too small! I cannot even wear a normal sock in them. I'm a bit annoyed because I did use the sizing chart and it said if I normally wear a 7 then 7 is my size. Not true. I'm not even sure a 7.5 would fit. I have to return them. I should have read the reviews. :(
I would recommend these boots if Sorel recommended the customer to go a size up.

I agree with other reviewers that the toe box on this boot is too narrow. Too bad because it's good looking and I would have liked to keep it.

Just received these boots and they look great. However, the left shoe has a bulge on the outter sole & wears unevenly when walking. To make matters worse, Sorel charges $6 to return a product that clearly has a manufacturing defect.

For a size 12 would think width would adjust...that would be a NO.
Color was also not as expected:(

They boots were to large and the color was off. I ordered the quarry color and when I received them the were more of a light gray. I do have a pair of boots already from Sorel and the quarry color was a nice dark gray. Had to return the boots. Next time when I order I will be ordering from Zappos, they have free shipping. I spent $12 to ship to my house and return. Unhappy with shipping cost.

These boots are definetly warm and lightweight which is great. Unfortunately, the seam connecting the thicker lining at the top of the ankle to the lining of the rest of the boot is placed at a spot that my heel immediately caught and tore on both boots by the 3rd time I put them on. I had purchased a half size bigger than I normally wear to accommodate big winter socks but despite that the seam did not leave enough wiggle room. Additionally, the little piece of leather that says "Sorel" on the back of the boot is tearing/wearing off after about 10 uses. For the cost and the brand I would've expected the seams to have been made stronger or placed elsewhere.

Way too small, not true to size. Also, the picture make the boot appear black & grey, but it’s more of a brownish charcoal. Didn’t like the color or fit. Returned

Sadly I have to return these cute boots... I usually wear a 7 or 7.5. After reading reviews I sized up a full size to an 8.5, and they were STILL on the small side. My toe was at the very end, definitely couldn't wear thick socks with them. I would say the 8.5 fits like a SMALL 7, maybe even a size 6.5. It seems like Sorel needs to re-look at their sizing on these.

Wanted to love these boots, but I ordered a half a size up, and they still were way too small. I'm usually a 7/7.5 and I ordered an 8. Probably could have used an 8.5. Order a full size up! Otherwise, construction was nice but didn't love the way they looked on my feet enough to exchange for the larger size.

These boots are very comfy! I would for sure size up a full size. I also, like previous reviewer, had the black portion of the boots sole come unglued. It was almost like there was nothing holding it together in the first place. I didn't wear in snow or wet conditions so confused how this happened.

this is a cute boot-but not your typical sorel winter boot. very little structure to the boot. would be okay for fall wear but not so much northern wisconsin winters.

Should have paid more attention to all the reviews that complained about how short these are. But they were so exactly what I need for winter that I thought I'd take a chance. Yes, they are short. I wear an 11 and ordered an 11. In thin summer socks my toes not only bumped against the fronts -- they actually curled. Aside from that small detail, they're great. Back they go. Thanks for easy returns, Zappos.

Tried a half size larger than my normal size and were still too small. Went up a full size and then were too large. Also felt too wide. Difficult to get the tongue to lay flat, which felt bothersome. I did like the appearance and the suede fabric.

Received these in a larger size than I normally get and the right shoe still hit my big toe, the left one was fine. I'm a 10-10.5 and I ordered an 11. Unless I'm barefoot, these don't fit well.

Ordered a half size bigger than normal based off reviews. Still did not fit. Left boot felt almost a half size smaller than right.

I bought these boots to wear on snowing days but every time I wear them I slip and slide, they are terrible to wear outdoors in winter conditions. These are clearly meant to be winter boots but are not safe to wear in the winter!!!!

I think that the boots were marked with the wrong size. They really hurt my feet and i cannot wear them.

Fit too small. Originally order size 8, returned and ordered size 8-1/2 - too small also. Returned and wanted to buy a size 9, but you did not have. I found the size 9 from another online store. They stated that if ordering, order a full size larger than normal. Wouldn't that information have been helpful if your webpage made that statement.

Such a cute boot just disappointed in the quality. Wore them one time and they did this on the left boot, starting to do it on the right one as well.

Bought them for my girlfriend and she's only wore them twice while working inside and there is already a tear in the side of them from them falling apart. Very disappointed with how much money I spent on them.
