I won't get into the details, but Sorel's customer service is above and beyond any average expectation. They resolved my issue in a way that has only further cemented my loyalty.

Most comfortable boots from day 1 - no break in time needed, size fits perfect

I LOVE THESE BOOTS. I've been looking for a lace up boot for a long time and to find one that's so comfortable and good looking...well I had to get two pair.

I got this in November wanting to get out and do some hiking again, and something for winter in GA. I've been wearing them just about everyday especially when it's cold or wet outside! With thick "hiking socks" they are comfortable. Thin socks don't feel as good in them, at least not when they were brand new, but they feel great and are built well for sure!!!

These boots were a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. He loves them! They look even better in person and he was impressed with the quality. He said they're the most comfortable boots he's owned and really enjoys wearing them. We haven't been getting much snow this winter, so the waterproof aspect hasn't been tested too often, but so far no complaints.

A little tight on my ankles and inside moisture after walking in long wet grass for an hour

The boots are very comfortable from the beginning. The look extremely stylish. However I would prefer a khaki lace instead of the blue. Also, there's a color fade on the right boot. That's the reason I'm giving 4 stars.

I Love these boots. This is my second pair. I did not give a 5 star rating because they fall apart very quickly. The first pair lasted 6 months and came apart at the seams. However, they are very comfortable, and fit like a glove. If your looking for something that's going to last you a while, look elsewhere.

Taking a while to soften the top around the ankle so they don't rub. Otherwise, great looking and comfortable.

Great light hiker and quite waterproof. Would have given them a five but for a minor pressure spot at the right ankle and disappointing minor scuffing of the toe from walking on beach sand.

I bought these in March and they are super comfortable and look good. The durability is another story though, as the bottom lace rivet has already ripped out of the leather. Now they are not able to be worn anymore so I am out 140 dollars.

I like the style, even more with the new red laces I put on em. ;). They fit well. However, they are not feeling very good quality after just two weeks or so of everyday wear. They are feeling like a lot of other boots the past 15 years or so, they keep feeling more thin and cheap material. Unfortunately, I am afraid they are not going to last long. I hope I am wrong.

Purchased these a month ago and they are stylish, waterproof and insulated enough for cold snowy days. My only disappointment is the quality of the "pigskin collar" padding at the top of the heel shaft: After three wears, I found that any time the inner lace hooks would rub up against the other boot, an ugly scratch would appear on the collar. The same thing is happening now on the tongue of the boot from the laces rubbing on the same material padding when tied... So now my brand new boots have this unseemly wear and tear that you would not expect to see on a pair of boots worn < 20x just for commuting or a quick walk around the block with the dog, especially since the brown leather on the rest of the boot is of such fine quality!

the color is not the same in the picture. It's more bland in real life.

These seem very narrow to me. Just trying to get through the break in stage I guess...

Had to order and return 3 pairs. Sizes were inconsistent, I ordered a size 10, they were huge. I ordered a size 9 that fit but the lace eyelet ripped out the first time i tried to lace them up. I reordered a size 9 and they were too small. The second size 9 was physically 1/4 smaller that first size 9.

At first nice dry warm boots and very comfortable, but after wearing a few times came apart at the seam at the side of the boot. Making them leak. I take a size 9 needed a 8.5 as they run large. More a fashion boot than a hiker as they're not up to purpose.
