Customer Reviews SOREL Whitney™ Tall Lace II

Such a cute boot, but for some reason one of the boots inside lining was slipping down at the heel as you put your foot in. Super annoying to readjust when you are in a rush. I had gotten the 8.5 and I wear an 8 in most sneakers. Not sure if an 8 would work, would have tried but none in stock. I would say the boot runs narrow, but not a problem for my feet.

I am a 7.5, usually wear 8 in sorel. These were way too tight as 8's. Returning and ordering 8.5's. Super cute though!

Love the boots! They run small. I have very narrow feet and they were tight and short. Will try a size larger.

So far I really like these, they keep my feet toasty, not 100% water proof though. Very light weight which makes walking a breeze.

I’m usually a 5.5 and ordered a size 6. It fit fine with thin dress socks but no thicker. Ended up exchanging for a 6.5. I’d recommend sizing up a full size if you want to wear thickish socks. The boots are incredibly lightweight and feel warm but I haven’t worn them outside yet. They’re comfortable and don’t seem like they need to be broken in.

Super comfy! It's like wearing little sleeping bags on my feet :) Probably not the best for trudging around in deep snow just because of the way the front ties up, but they are perfect for walking the dogs or running around doing errands, really comfortable, really warm and have pretty good traction. Not big and bulky like other winter boots and have a cute style. I am a 6.5 - 7 usually so I ordered the 7 and they fit my feet perfectly. The toe box is not huge, so you will want to order the wide fit if you feel like you have wide feet at all. Overall really happy with my choice!

Very warm and the footbed was super comfortable. Way too narrow though so I had to return.

Its a great boot and felt comfortable when I tried it on. Just a little taller than I expected, I am 5'2" and have short legs not the look I was going for. They were a bit narrow, but nothing major. However, would still recommend these boots for others.

Overall it’s a cute style, but I’m not sure how durable it will be. It definitely will suit me for the mild California winters, as I rarely find myself needing to trudge through snow, more like walking through groomed ski resort parking lots and such. It might be useful when it’s cold and rainy too, but that isn’t too often either. If you’re living in a snowy region, where you need a heavy duty boot, I’m not sure how long these would hold up. It’s all made of fake leather and a nylon fabric, very reminiscent of a sneaker. The fit is about 1/2 size too small, so that I had to order 1/2 size up. It also definitely runs narrow. I have an average width foot, and these were ok, but with thicker socks it’s a little snug. If you are familiar with Nike running shoes, this fits similarly, 1/2 size short and slightly narrow. That said, the footbed is very comfy, like a sneaker, and much lighter weight than the Joan of Arc style. I also like the magenta accents on the laces of the quarry grey, to give a little pop of color. I’ve noticed that since Columbia took over Sorel, the colors are more muted and less feminine, so I appreciate the little girly touch here.

I read all reviews for this boot and many stated they were narrow so I went a half size up. Didn't matter boot was very tight and uncomfortable this was my first Sorel boot. I always purchase North Face boots in the winter needless to say I will be in search of some North face ones again I tried.

These are pretty nice boots, I think they look nice. I am glad I got a size 8 instead of my usual 7.5 or they would have been tight with socks. They still feel like they "push" into the side of my foot in the front, but they are getting better with each wear. They are not very warm at all. I went to the dog park in about 30 degree temp for about 40 min and I was ok. However, I went to watch my kid ski, in 15 degree temps, and my feet were numb in 15 min. Definitely, not warm enough to be outside for a long time in cold New England weather.

These are lightweight and seem super comfy! I only wore them around the house, but I'm betting they'd be nice for walking. Unfortunately, the foot is so small and narrow that I can't wear them. I ordered a full size larger than usual because of the reviews in here, but the toe box is small and tapered and foot itself so small that it squeezes my instep. If these boots were roomy I'm sure they'd be warm, but as it is I know my feet would get cold quickly from being squeezed. Such a shame, because they're cute and I love how they're constructed. I have wide feet and high insteps, but I can usually go up a size and be okay. Not in this case. In summary--really awesome boots for someone with narrow feet

Cute boots,but narrow toebox

Really wanted to like these. Ordered a half size up based on other reviews and was glad I did. Boots were light and fairly comfortable. I need a lot of arch support and these were just ok- I think that if I were to wear them for an extended time my feet would probably hurt. I was on the fence about keeping them and what made me send them back was that they buckle weirdly at the junction between foot and shin due to placement of laces. Looks like an open gap. Too bad as I'm desperate to find something that fits, looks good, is warm and waterproof.

It’s narrow, BUT this boot will stretch just a bit, but NOT A LOT! I have wide feet at the ball of my foot and tiny heals. I ordered my normal Sorel size. I’m a ballerina, so high arches also. Limited arch support, if you use orothodics you’ll probably want to add a 1/2 to full size up. Also, I wear my normal socks.. which leads to my next point. If you want warm, these are it! I live in MN and I’m not from here (thank you for your condolences)... these things have kept my feet nice and warm when standing outside for extensive lengths of time. I own 4 pair of Sorel boots... beyond worth the price. *I apologize for terrible grammar... my screen won’t let me scroll up to edit. Ha!

I ordered a full size up (9.5) from my normal (8.5) which was the right move based on the reviews (thank you all who said to do so!). However these boots are not what I expected in terms of warmth and overall need for a MN winter. They are primarily nylon, lightweight, and feel a bit thin--I can't imagine my feet would stay warm enough in January in MN. I put one on and knew immediately they weren't enough for what I need (which is to walk my dog a couple miles a day no matter the weather). They might be perfect for a less extreme climate.

I usually wear a 7 in a boot and these were a tight fit in both the heel and across the front. Would not have worked with thicker winter socks for sure. The length, however seemed right on, so I would say these would run a little tight if you have a moderately wider foot. The calf area was fine, with a good amount of room, so no complaints there. The finish is fun and sporty though, and for a casual winter boot these have a graphic quality that is real cute.
