First, these boots are incredibly stylish and are exactly what I was looking for. But with one exception-the material is so strange. I was expecting them to be the usual soft leather that Sorels normally are. I’m torn on whether to keep them or not. They feel so flimsy and thin, but I love the way they look : /

I have normal shaped feet, but would have to amputate my pinkie toes and the outer edges of my feet to fit into the Sorel toe box comfortably.
Also bought a pair of Columbia boots--same size . . . and they fit perfectly. Surely you guys can figure this out!!

The toe box is very narrow. Not much arch support. I would suggest half a size larger.

I was disappointed with these boots for three reasons and returned them. First, they're not warm. Second, the laces don't tie high enough the top of the boot is loose and snow gets in, even if you're only walking in an inch or two. Third, my foot got cut by a hard bump protruding into my heel. Don't recommend.

Too narrow. Arch not lined up. Nice looking boot- but just doesn’t work.

These are cute, but the medium width was too narrow for my foot. I miss the old school Trivoli they offered years ago, I keep trying to find something similar but I can't.

They are comfortable but don't keep your feet warm. I was outside for 2/12 hours my feet were freezing the temperature was 19 degrees.

I have an old pair of Sorel full sized boots that are roomy and comfortable. I bought these looking for something to run around in. While they are cute, they are VERY narrow. I normally wear a regular width and my foot was spilling un-glamorously over the sides. They were tight across the toe box but slightly longer than “true to size” so lifted up in the heel when walking. Will be returning.

Super awkward fit! Not comfortable at all. Slipped it on, slipped it back off and into the box. I agree that yes they run a bit small but sizing up wouldn't help the overall poor design.

Cute boots, but one was larger than the other. Therefore, one side was just right and the other was a bit large. The shaft is stiff.

Uncomfortable- too tight across the toe box area of the boot. I really wanted to like this boot and was looking forward to a warm, insulated, water resistant boot that wasn't big and clunky. But I wore them one time to a high school football game and they were so uncomfortable.

I bought this boot last week. I read the caption to order up a full size (so I did) With a pair of thicker type socks, for winter, I can barely get my food into the boot.
Very unhappy because now I have to pay to return the boot!!
I even tried putting just a normal sock onthe boot is so tight, it will be very uncomfortable to walk in.
I'm not going to replace them with a boot 2 sizes larger than what I normally wear! The boot does not seem warm either, very lightly constructed. I love Sorel boots, but this style is not up to par.

What on earth is going on with the Sorel brand? The boots are much lower quality than a few years back. They are going for cheaper materials, narrower and shorter toes. Pretty done with trying different styles and having to send back.

I have been very disappointed in Sorel quality this year and last year. I have several pairs of Sorels. But these are very small and narrow and the material feels really cheap and stiff. What happened? I have to remember not to buy again.

Tried on one boot and it cut into the top of my foot. I ordered the standard size that I normally wear. Returned boots. Awaiting refund.

These are crazy narrow. It is like they have not accounted for the fact there is actual lining in them and you have to wear socks. Cute, but GEEZ!
