These boots are so great for trudging around in winter weather. They are warm & cozy, totally water-proof, and easy to pull on and off. I originally ordered them in an 8, which is my normal size, but had to exchange them for a full size up to a 9. The 9s fit me perfectly with a thick boot sock on.

I ordered these in both a size 5 and 6 based upon the recommendations to size up. I have slim narrow feet, and whilst the 5 fit perfectly fine they are quite snug in the toe area. I've decided to go for the size 6, so I can comfortably wear very thick socks underneath or double up on slightly thinner ones in really cold temperatures. I'm delighted, they're just so warm and, so far, seems very comfortable! One very happy customer. Thanks Sorel

I love these! These are the new model of the same pair I've been wearing the past five years. They are so light, comfortable, and warm.

I love the boot. It is light, beautiful and very comfortable. It exceeded my expectation. I bought one to leave at my daughter's house in Canada and another to keep at my other daughter's house in the US.

Love them! Fit great, very light, toasty warm and super comfortable. Bought another pair for my 93 yr old MIL. She thinks these boots are the best she's ever had.

I bought these in November of 2022 for a trip to the Alps in December of 2022. I was very worried about not liking them, and that they wouldn't be warm. These boots are great. I'm from the south, and have never seen so much snow before, so warm and dry feet were a huge concern of mine. After muuuchhh research, I finally settled on these. When I was in the snow, I wore a pair of regular semi-thick socks & was in about 2 feet of powdery snow for a couple hours. These boots kept my feet VERY warm & VERY dry!!! The only thing I will say about them, was that there was very little traction so I would suggest spikes for very thick snow (my case) and especially for ice (obviously). I also wore these hiking in about 4 - 6 inches of snow and did not have any issues (even with traction). I would for sure recommend these to someone who is going to be in thick snow, or anyone who needs a good winter boot. However, I did not use these in "slushy" snow, but they did really well for my trip. & I wore these boots a ton!

I have been a huge fan of Sorel winter boots since 2017. Sorel snow boots are perfect pair of shoes to be your city-commute boots in a snowy weather. Chic design, but never misses its functionality. I bought my second pair in 2021 and brought it with me to Korea. It did its job fabulously during the heavy snowing weeks in Korea. I even got asked from my colleagues there where I bought these boots from.

If you are considering purchasing these boots, I would recommend to check your size from the Size Guides. I have a slightly wide feet, and usually wear 7.5-8 for my daily shoes, 8 for rain boots and running shoes, and 8.5 for my first Sorel boots -- which naturally made me purchase 8.5 for this design (Whitney II). But I had to return them for size 9, because it was a bit tight. Size 9 fit me perfectly and gave a lot of comfort.

Like a puffer coat for the feet. I have walked miles in these without any discomfort. These are not rigid or clunky like a boot. They feel more like an insulated sneaker. Warmer and more comfortable than other Sorel boots I've had in the past, including the Joan of Arctic. Also, I found the boots TTS. My normal 9.5 was roomy enough for winter socks.

I just bought these for a transition from fall to winter style boot since they are waterproof and insulated. They are comfier than I expected them to be! The foam bottom makes for all day wear and walking! I also love the olive green color- compliments my black coat.. I got an 8.5 and that is what I usually get, so I would say these are true to size. Even with a thicker sock. they fit

Wore them everyday for a two week long ski trip and they were SO comfortable! I now wear them for walking the dog. They were exactly what I was looking for- a great cross between a sneaker and a boot.

These are so comfortable and completely waterproof! I walked thru a stream and no water got it. Highly recommend. True to size, I am normally always and 8 and was an 8 with these.

Love these! I listened to the website and ordered a 1/2 size up which I never do. I am a legit 7 in 99% of my shoes and went up to 7 1/2. Can easily wear thin or thick socks. Immediate comfort. Feels like walking in a sneaker with no break in period and completely waterproof. Wore for 2 weeks straight on my AK vacation that rained every day. Perfect shoe for the weather.

I had a knee replacement. I needed a cute/stylish, comfortable boot with some tracking in order to get around in Minnesota winters. This boot did just that. Great price great boot. So happy I bought them. Oh, and very warm too!

These shoes are SO amazing that I bought a second pair. They're like a cross between having an awesome cushiony sneaker and a winter boot. You know how winter boots often have some heel slip or slop when you walk? Not these. These fit amazingly and stay on your foot like sneakers do, but with the added benefit of being a warm winter boot. They're lightweight, too. I love how easy they are to slip on and off, and with the slippery fabric of the shoes, the laces slide tight (and open) really fast. No unlacing for 2 minutes just to get your feet out of your shoes. They really are THE PERFECT shoes that I've been searching everywhere for. Bonus they look super cute!
A note: I haven't worn these on trail. I have other shoes for that. These are my "around town/dog walking/grocery getting when it's raining/snowing" shoes and they are awesome. They repel water and so far no water spots or discoloration on my tan pair (been wearing for several months). They have stood up to light snow and big puddles with no problems.
Order your normal Sorel size - they are true to Sorel size & fit (which is about 1/2 size larger than your normal shoe size).

Following other review suggestions, I ordered a half size up. Still way too tight!!! I’d never get a winter weight sock on. Warm and good arch support, but I don’t think even a whole size up would fix how narrow they are.

I’m normally a 6 but got these I. A 6.5 and they are perfect. Especially if I’m wearing thick socks.
My feet stayed toasty warm in these on a very cold night camping

I love these! I am usually a 6.5 but followed the review recommendations to size up a half size if you have wider feet/want to wear thicker socks. The size 7 fits perfectly, and have been great so far for the NYC winter snow, especially for waking my pup. Highly recommend for a stylish and practical warm boot!

These boots are comfortable but run small. I had to order a size up from my usual. Also wise to do if planning to wear with thicker socks.

They’re so cute but I recommend going a full size up with thicker socks they run really small! I’m a 7 and a 71/2 was super tight. I do have a wider foot but the length was too short.

I bought these boots 2 or 3 years ago and they’ve been my go-to boots for wet and muddy dog walks. Up until recently they kept my feet toasty warm and dry, but unfortunately have now lost their waterproofing for some mysterious reason. Super bummed, nevertheless, I’m going to buy another pair, because I’ve never had such warm and comfortable rain boots. FYI, I went up a whole size, otherwise they are too narrow.

Length runs true to size (as of my order received on 9/23/21). I listened to reviews that said they run small and ordered 1 size up. This was a mistake. I have always worn women’s size 7. I ordered size 8, but was very disappointed that they were way too large in length. I then had to process a return and was without shoes for 2 days until my exchange arrived. Now have received a size 7, which fits as expected.
I have a high arch and narrow heel. Otherwise, my feet are normal.
As far as the reviews that say these run narrow, I’d say they are slightly more narrow than other boots, but nothing that I would order up for. If you have narrow feet or are in doubt, I’d recommend to order a half size up max, no more. If you have wide feet, in my opinion, sizing up won’t help and these just aren’t appropriated or you.
