I have about 8 pairs of Sorel shoes and these are probably my favorite. They are slightly narrower and higher on the ankle which gives them a more polished look. More arch support than my Joan of Arctic wedges, which makes it more stable and comfortable. These fit true to size for me. The worst part about Sorels is that they are so comfortable I don't want to wear any of the other shoes in my closet.

Many reviews and even Zappos size recommendations indicate you should size up. I did NOT find that to be the case. I bought a half size up and it was too long, returned for my usual size 8.5 and it’s a much better fit. I even have bunions making my foot wider at the forefoot and the toe box is comfortable, not tight. Obviously every foot is a bit different so this is just one review - but I found my usual size to work. The booties are comfortable despite a 3”heel and are the leather/suede is waterproof so despite getting the light taupe (sand color) I’m hoping they won’t get ruined!! They are cute, comfy and hopefully functional!

My niece loves this shoe. I was afraid it would be too large but it fits perfectly on her foot with the appropriate space. Just in time for the winter season! The neutral color matches with everything and the material is just right!

These booties are super cute and elegant they will go with just any outfit and look good . These Chelsea booties are too die for I was super impressed with the material they are made with and how cute they are . The bottom of the boot are made with durable rubber material that makes them slid proof . I love the brown material its soft and seems like it would get damaged easy but that's the best part its water proof so not worries needed ... very comfortable can be used with different styles slide and water proof these shoes are a must have I definitely recommend them

I love the look of this boot- however they run a little big. (I’m typically a size 6.) I kept the boot anyway and I just wear a thicker sock with them- Too cute not to keep and I didn’t want to chance going down to a 1/2 size smaller.

I wanted comfortable yet stylish footwear for a recent visit to Chicago. I needed my feet to stay dry and I needed good traction for walking for miles on snow and ice.
Comfort was definitely important!
I'm fifty-one years old and I cant walk and stand for long periods of time with just any shoe....these booties are THE BEST! I wear them to work daily.

The toe box is not true to size. It is at least half size smaller.

Fit and size was as expected. I'm a consistent 8 1/2 for Sorel boots and that's what Iv've got. Due to other reviews, I order an 8 as well and it was too short. What I like about all the Joan Uptown models (and I order them all to make an informed decision) is that the tip of these boots its narrower and pointier that the Joan of Arctic series. For bigger numbers like mine, I feel they look way better, more refined, not so big... But that's just my personal opinion.
I don't have any issues putting them on or taking them off, even with thicker socks, so the no zipper for this style was ok in my case. I particularly love the symmetry given by the gusset on both sides. I hope the elastics hold up well for the entire life of these boots.

These boots are gorgeous!!! So eye catching. The first day I wore them they were tight on the top part of my foot, they loosened right after that first wear. I am a size 7 normally, I sized up to a 7.5 and they fit perfectly.

I love these shoes! They're easy to dress up or down. Although the soles are not as soft or bouncy as my other Sorel boots, (they feel quite a bit stiffer/harder) they are comfortable and required very little to break in.

These boots are the best of both worlds! Stylish yet practical. I can go from shopping, to chasing my kids, to walking my dogs, without having to change my shoes. They don’t feel like you have a 3 inch heel on, and the traction is awesome for this time of year since can still be icy outside. I tend to avoid pull on boots because I have high arches, but I don’t have a problem getting these on. I always size half a size up with Sorel wedges and the fit it perfect. I have been obsessed with Sorel this year. They have so many great wedges and have had so many great sales!

I've had this boot in black for almost 5 years now and they still look brand new. I've worn them in all types of winter, fall and early spring conditions and they are perfect! I still get compliments on them.

I purchased these after wearing out my original Joan wedge booties I had for 2 years. The uptown's provide a bit of a dresser option whole still being casual and comfortable for all day wear. They took a bit more breaking in than the lower cut Joan wedge as they rubbed my ankle but better now TTS.

these are nice. possibly a bit loose to accommodate the fact that there is no zipper, so you have to be able to get your foot IN to the boot, but I'll solve with thicker socks. Pretty from the side. Not as feminine as I would hope, but on a snowy/rainy day in the winter they will be perfect. Sort of amazed at how high the heel is and it's still comfortable.

These boots really are fantastic! My reason for giving them a 4 star is because since they are a slip on, it’s a little tough to get on and off, but once on...your good ? I can walk and stand on this wedge all day.
The other small complaint is for some reason, if on bare skin, the leather rubs on the side of your leg, but I just wear pants and socks and then I’m good. Totally keeping them

I got SOREL Joan Uptown Chelsea waterproof boots for women. Labeled Blackened Brown color size 7. These boots have my sense of style to a T!!! The fact that they are made out of quality leather and came waterproof is just a huge bonus. Overall quality of these boots is a 10 out of 10 for me. The only issue I would say is normally I am a size 7 women's, and that's what I ordered. When I tried them on I was a bit disappointed because they a bit small for my feet. I wish they came in the half sizes as well, because a 7 1/2 would be perfect. I wish I could send them back and get the next size up, a 8. So these shoes seems to run on the smaller size of the scale. Keep in mind. I would still definitely recommend these boots to any women who wants quality and style all wrapped in to one.

I have a client and a coworker who each own the same wedge and they gave them rave reviews. These boots live up to the Sorel legend being both functional and comfortable, the added bonus is that they're stylish. I'm an Interior Designer, and I'm on my feet almost my entire workday walking and standing for hours at a time and these are truly amazing. I have a narrow foot, so they are true to size for me with room for a sock. I wear a 9 1/2 and these were perfect out of the box both with and without socks. The cinnamon color suede is extremely versatile as I can wear it with my black, white and denim jeans.
