Really wanted to like these!! The toe box is too shallow, the top of my big toe hit the inside of the shoe uncomfortably. Wish the box were taller. The curve around the ankle was too tall and rubbed my ankle bone. (See photo) Style was cool and waterproof would have been awesome- I wish these fit my feet better.
Size: I normally wear a 10 -11 in sneakers. the 9.5 in these would have fit me (except for issues noted above).

This a cute spin off for an Out N About shoe. I bought this sneaker in two sizes, my usual sneaker size 10 1/2 (sage) & an 11 (black) which is the size I wear in Sorel boots. The sneaker is Very Oversized from 1/2" to 1 1/2" honest. The Sage is somewhere between a green & gray, just a nice color. I haven't decided yet whether to keep the 10 1/2 or not since it runs so large, even with socks with an inch left over in length. The 11 has to go! It's like two inches too long. It's a wide shoe for a medium size & no worries about the toe box area because the rest of the shoe is so large. Details state mild arch support but there is no arch support so if you are used to inserts then that might work & make the shoe a smaller fit. Also, you would need the inserts if you do a lot of walking--it's not a running sneaker. Quality is good & this shoe will be waterproof & good for the trail. IMO. I do like the support the back of this sneaker gives, as it looks like the sneaker will last a long while--waterproof as well. I recommend but you need to know it's totally over-sized. There were no reviews when I ordered, that's why I ordered two sizes.

A great excursion shoe! Not too athletic looking to wear with jeans and cute with leggings!! Definitely not enough support for a running shoe but perfectly fine for out and about shoes - I’ve worn them several times for 8 hour stretches and my feet were happy!

These fit true to my normal size (10). Width was fine for me but I don’t think I’ll be able to get them on/off without untying them. They fit much like my Nike sneakers except they have MUCH less support and cushioning. I have ordered an orthotic sneaker insert and hope that does the trick. I need these to work so I don’t have to take ugly rain boots for 18 days in Scotland with daily rain. Fingers crossed! ?

I would say these run a half size bigger, as I’m usually an 8 in Sorel. 7.5 fit great. 8 was way too large. Cute and comfortable. Got them in two colors.

I love these shoes. I was looking for cute and comfortable and I found it in the Out N About Sneaker. I usually wear a 9, sometimes an 8.5 if the shoe runs a little large. I purchased an 8 in these and they fit perfectly. The shoes arrived the day I was leaving for a trip. I got them in the mail and put them on to wear to the airport. I was hesitant because I typically wouldn't purchase shoes and wear them on a trip but because they are Sorel's I felt confident they would be comfortable. They we're very comfortable. I even got compliments from my teenage girls which anyone with a teen can tell you really means a lot!

I wore these with no-show ankle socks and developed an itchy painful rash from the tag. The material is not friendly to sensitive skin nor is it made from breathable material. I actually bought 4 pairs of these so I am sad and still in pain. These pictures are from today, over 1 week since I wore them. The redness has improved some. It would be helpful to know what material is used in this shoe tag.

I originally sized down and that was a mistake however thanks to 2-day shipping I was able to receive the correct size before my trip.
I bought these for my trip to Scandinavia because I needed something waterproof and I'm too vain to wear hiking boots or other traditional hiking shoes. These were perfect! They are waterproof (it rained, I stepped in puddles, I spilled water on myself - don't ask) and my feet stayed dry. They are comfortable for long days of walking - plenty of support and my back didn't ache. They are stylish and trendy so I was able to wear them with shorts, a dress, jeans, joggers. I even wore them for a moderate hike. I wouldn't wear them for hardcore serious hiking, though.. leave that to the experts, the hiking boot.

Was really looking forward to receiving these sneakers, I agonized online over what color to get and ended up with Elk - great choice, lovely color. They were true to size, very comfortable, and great quality, however I wear a size 11 and in the larger sizes the design of the shoe changes enough that it's not as cute and makes your foot look very flat-footed. This is due to the tread that covers the bottom of the shoe coming up the side of the shoe farther on the smaller shoes (but not the larger shoes), making the heel look more elevated and smaller. Granted, it's a slight difference, but to large footed people a slight elevation in the heel makes a big difference and would be appreciated. I added a photo to show the difference - the shoes on the site have the tread practically touching the dip in the leather, but on my shoes there's a 1/2 inch difference. When you compare the photos you really see the difference how angular the tread is in smaller shoes vs. the flat line of the larger ones. I really appreciate that you sell larger sized shoes and I love your style, Sorel! But the styles aren't translating to the larger sizes and I'm considering returning them.

After reading the reviews, I ordered both my normal size 6 & along with a half size smaller, 5-1/2. The "Half Size Smaller” 5-1/2 is the keeper! Fits good ONLY if I wear a very thin sock. Having a very narrow heel, this size fits great in that area too. Regarding some reviews with an “ankle bone issue” - I too experienced it - but was easily remedied by loosening/adjusting, ever so slightly, the shoe laces. I do have a bunion on my slightly larger left foot, but found the shoe fabric accommodates this sufficiently, without pinching. I do agree that I would prefer the height of the toe box to be ever so slightly higher, but again the thin sock helped with this. I do like a good arch support, this shoe is in the mid range, but considering it is a casual shoe, with great style, it is acceptable enough for me. The size 6, my normal size, was not snug enough for my narrow heels, even with a thicker sock. The size 6 length oddly seemed the same as the 5-1/2, as to where my big toe hit the toe box. Overall, the size 6 shoe was just a bit wider, even with a thick sock.

I was extremely excited to find waterproof sneakers ahead of the rainy Pacific Northwest winter. Unfortunately, the Out n’ Abouts are definitely NOT WATERPROOF. The water started seeping in after just a couple moderate-distance walks in wet weather. Unfortunately these shoes leave my socks just as wet as ever, and my heart just about broken. Sorel, I thought I could trust you.

These shoes are the bomb. They have become my go-to sneakers. I bought my first pair (in black) last fall for a trip to Scotland. They kept my feet very dry while we were out waling in the rain, and are comfortable enough for all day wear. (Although not much arch support if that is important to you.) A year later, the treads on the bottom have worn a bit but they are still in good shape and I've gotten a ton of use out of them as I live in the Pacific Northwest. I ordered a second pair (in sage) when I got my dog, since I often walk my dog through wet grass, so I am wearing them daily. The sage is a bit darker and more green than in the picture. I am very happy with these as well! One tip is don't wear them to the beach -- I got sand in the mesh on top, and it is quite hard to get out :) Also my feet do get a bit sweaty in them when it is warm or after a long walk, but it is worth it to keep my feet protected from the elements.
Sizing: I normally wear between an 8 and 9 in sneakers, depending on the brand. I tried both 8 and 8.5 and settled on the 8. (It's a bit snug with a heavier sock, but I don't usually need or want that because it gets too sweaty.) They've loosened up a little with wear, but not much.

Bought these sneakers for my trip to Scandinavia because I needed something waterproof but am too vain to wear hiking boots. Also because I had to pack light so I needed 1 pair of shoes that would work for everything. These sneakers were perfect! They were comfy and supportive for the miles of city walking and hiking, waterproof for the sudden rain storms, and stylish enough to wear with everything. I LOVE these sneaks. They are perfect in every way.

I didn't listen to the reviews and ordered my regular size, I am now exchanging for a 1/2 size smaller. I absolutely love these sneakers, they are lightweight and are waterproof! They are comfortable and I can wear them all day. If you wanted tp put an insole into it you could easily just get your real size and add it in. Also if you want to wear these in the winter ordering your regular size might work too to take into account a thick sock. Overall I would recommend these. I had ordered 4 different pairs and these were the best ones by far (taking into account fashion/comfort/waterproof).

I'm a true 7.5 and read a few reviews that said these ran a bit big so I decided to try 7. They were a bit tight so I returned for a 7.5. very excited about these shoes. going on a European trip and think they will be perfect for adventures!

I've had these for a few months now (I never write reviews immediately so I can provide the most accurate feedback) and I'm still very happy with them. I ordered the suede option in quarry, which is a lovely cool toned dark grey. I actually chose these after a very thorough search for suede or leather sneakers... If I wear a pair of sneakers often I've found textile or fabric uppers just don't last like suede or leather, and they don't have that odor when I take them off at the end of the day like I've noticed man made fabrics have. I already want these in the black and elk suede colors as well! I'd personally recommend opting for the suede since they're the same price and will last you much longer... plus I like the silhouette of the suede version better (slightly less bulky in the toe area.)
If you're between sizes like me I'd recommend sizing down... I'm between 8.5 & 9 US and the 9 is a bit too big for me.

I have a very narrow foot and heel. I really like this shoe; the lace system allows me to fit it to my foot just right. Very comfortable and cute as well.

We're going to Munich and Prague next month and were warned it may be rainy. I ordered several pairs of waterproof shoes/boots to try. These are the best. They're super comfortable, interesting looking (cute, but don't look like a "sneaker" or a rain boot), and will keep my feet dry if needed. I guess that's the best part -- I'll wear these on any day... It doesn't have to be wet outside for them to be great.

I really like this shoe. I wanted a waterproof shoe for warmer weather that has good traction and support. This fits the bill. I got the tab which is a blush color. My regular shoe size is 7.5 and my sneaker size is 8. I ordered both and the 8 fit best. Shoe is pretty flat without a lot of arch support so not as cushioned and supportive as a running sneaker but more like a casual sneaker. Very well made. I’m glad I got it. I have worn it several times in downpours and walking through puddles and my feet stayed dry.

I loved the idea of these shoes. I really wanted these to work for traveling, but the quality for the price just wasn’t there. Loved the style. The crinkle wasn’t as loud as I felt the other reviews made it out to be. The tan shoes were a little pinkish, which I thought made the shoes look girly and cute. The bottoms of the shoes were not made well, so I don’t think they would hold up for very long.
