I have been a huge fan of Sorel booties for work. I have worn another style to work almost every day in Fall and Winter for the past 2 years. I'm on my feet most of the day and my old booties are super comfy. I decided to switch it up with a new style with the Blake bootie. They are very cute. Even my husband noticed and commented on the boots. However, even before lunch, my feet were killing me. The heel is slightly higher than the Joan of Arctic Wedge II Chelsea and very chunky, so they were honestly a little hard to walk in. My feet ached and I couldn't wait to get them off at the end of the day. I love the way they look, so they are great for dinner or a night out, but they will not be in my work rotation. It's unfortunate because I am willing to pay so much for Sorel due to their ability to withstand the weather as an everyday boot, not just for special occcasions.

I saw these boots online and couldn't get them off my mind so I bought them and I am so glad that I did. They are amazing... they manage to be a basic black ankle boot and yet at the same time have enough stylish elements to make them feel fresh and different. I walked around in them all day today and it was like walking on a cloud, no pain at all. I don't know that I'd wear them if I had to be standing on my feet for an extended period of time, but for walking and moving around they're perfect. They fit perfectly true to size as well which is huge because I've had fit issues with other Sorel booties in the past. MUST buy.

These shoes are gorgeous! They run narrow so definitely size up at least 1/2 size.

The booties felt a bit small but I know the next size will be too big. I so wanted these to work but they just did not. The boot was so uncomfortalbe.

Great style. Nice sole. Felt too tight in the toe box. Wish that it came in wide.

Great bootie! Comfortable to walk. True to size, but maybe just a wee bit on the narrow side. Have broken in well have a couple wearings.

I love the boot but it's a too tight and narrow still a keeper. Worth a little pain at first to break in

I've had these boots for about a month, I've been slowly breaking them in and I love them. I wanted a black pair of everyday sorels that were more on the "dressy" side but were still casual.
They go with just about everything and I'm happy with the purchase.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is bc the leather digs into my ankle a bit. I'm sure this will go away and I continue to break them in.

Nice winter boot though the toe box was snug to even give it a chance. I own the Lexie and Conquest wedge boot (my normal size) that fit great even though they slightly stretched out in the toe area which was a good thing.

I must say that I found the comments in the reviews before me to be untrue, which surprised me. I have historically had a very difficult time fitting into Sorel boots, but I took a chance and ordered these in my usual size (8.5) and they fit perfectly. No toe smushing, no size issues whatsoever. My little 5'2" self feels like a giant wearing these, owing to the platform that assists the heel to give added height. My only criticism at all is that the heels rub, so it's imperative to wear socks that cover the back of my ankles. They do also hurt a bit when standing still, but they're great for walking.

Great boots but the rounded toe makes for a 1/2 inch to small. Your toes get jammed in the rounded toe.

Nice shoe, very comfortable. I actually ended up returning because I have this boot in the previous style from probably 3 yrs ago that is still in good condition. The heal is pretty high, and they seem on the dressier side.

I ordered this boot in an 8.5, and the fit was just a bit off. They are a cute style, and even with the higher heel, comfortable to walk in, but on my foot it was almost like it was too loose in the heel area. The shaft was also a bit shorter than I wanted. Returned.

I love the way these look. They're unique and go with everything. But, they are shockingly uncomfortable. I sized up a half size, which helped. But my feet hurt by the time I walk to the end of my block. Hoping that it's because the toe bed is narrow and maybe once they stretch (if they stretch), they'll be better. Certainly not the all-day Sorel shoe I'm used to, which is a shame.

I bought these in a size half up and in grey because black was out. They're too big, too narrow as always, but wanted to see if my right size might work. I called and customer service kind of barked at me that another batch was coming in October, so to wait until then to return them. I stopped looking for fall boots, because I assumed what she'd said would be true. I waited all month and nothing still now in November, and I seem to be stuck with unwearable boots in grey a size too big. Just wish theyed either known what was going on or the truth. Customer service is usually great but what a let down. I guess I could dye them black and wear 3 pairs of socks...very unhappy .

I wanted a chunky, comfortable boot, and have loved my Sorel boots in the past, so thought these would be a winner. Sadly these did not compare. I actually ordered the Cate Lace boots at the same time, and those fit great and are so comfortable. The problem with these is the toe box. It's super tiny, which is so strange. Usually you're wearing winter socks, so I'd think they'd give a little extra room in the toes, not less. I can see why other reviewers said their feet ached after a day in these. They're probably cutting off circulation, seriously. I have wide feet, so these definitely went back. Will be enjoying my Cate Lace boots and being careful about ordering Sorel in the future.

Completely ridiculous how narrow these boots are. I am real frustrated with Sorel and tons of other companies who make fabulous looking boots that are apparently designed only for those with teensy, narrow feet. These boots could be made an inch wider in the toe box and would continue to look amazing. Why? Why? Why not wider? Look at the photos... even my cat is annoyed (she won't even look). Sorel, please make some stylish boots for average women who have given birth, and yes... maybe have a foot shaped like a platypus, but who still want to look and feel fashionable. Pleeeeease!

I love sorel snow boots, but these boots and all booties from Sorel are super narrow in the toe and are not cut right. I have ordered so many of these just to send them back because they run small and even when I get them as large as possible, the toe is super narrow and uncomfortable. I wear normal width shoes and these are just a bad design. Its too bad because they make such cute boots, I really wish I could tolerate the uncomfortable boot, but it is not bearable.
