I gave it 3 stars bc I love Sorel. The description says it runs big and to size down. I sized down a half size and it was too small. Had I ordered my normal size I would have kept them. I would order your normal size and I feel the fit suggestion needs to be adjusted.

I bought these shoes and I absolutely love them, however they started to fray on the sides after wearing them twice! I've just dealt with it but I hate it because of how much I spent on the shoes. They don't have the color I purchased anymore either. I bought the black and white ones with the tan/orange accent on the back. Great support and super comfortable but disappointed they're falling apart.

I am so conflicted, I love these sneakers, bought during Covid and just started using them recently, I noticed holes developed in the toe area very quickly, I thought it was just me, but I see so many people having same issue. Design needs to change with perhaps some rubber at the tip.

Love the shoes but my second pair didn't hold up. After loving my first pair of women's kinetic impact, I ordered two more pair. My first pair had been worn hard and expectantly did show somewhere after many miles of hiking. The second pair I purchased recently has not held up in the same way, and a whole war through the top of the shoe within the first month of wear. Oh I hope my other new pair will last longer.

The wear very narrow. NOT for wide feet for sure. I don't normally need wide shoes but for these it would've been nice.

Very conflicted on these shoes. Love the look so much but the flaws made them very uncomfortable to wear after an hour. The back digs in into the Achilles' tendon since the material is super thin and sharp there. Also the top strap is very tight. I have a narrow foot so have never had that issue. I do love the comfort of the bottom soles though, very comfortable cushioning.

Comfy shoes easy slip on! Only issue is not sorel tough quality. The mesh in the upper sneaker stretched and ripped easily after normal weekend wear

Do not size down like it suggested. It's a snug fit. Stay true to your size.
I put 'uncomfortable' under fit because the shoe was too small.

These are stylish shoes that I really wanted to work for me, however, my heel kept slipping up and sadly, I had to return them.
I'd also recommend:
Ecco, Merrell, Chaco, Vionic, Pikolinos

Can you bring back the Velcro kinetics - 2020 style! Those were made sturdier and we're the best sneakers out there. The new ones are comfortable but for a sneaker they don't hold up long enough.. which is odd for sorel as their shoes are always quality

The backs of the shoes really dig into my Achilles and the front part tends to roll under so you have to really hold it flat while you're putting on the shoes. Otherwise they're cute.

The color was a bit off than what is advertised. Also, as someone with narrow feet, they are pretty tight. I'm hoping the width will stretch. But I have gotten lots of complements. Maybe consider sizing up half a size.

Even though they are great looking shoes and I'm sure comfortable, unfortunately, the shoe digs in to the front and back of the ankle making it very uncomfortable to walk.

They're mostly comfy, but the top band and the back around the ankle are tight. I'm hoping wearing thick socks for a time will stretch them out.

Cute, true to size but I've only worn a few times, light wear, and they already look worn out. I regret spending the money on them

I love the style! I'll wear for that alone. Not good for rigorous walking. I have short wide feet which these don't seem to be compatible with. The back rubbed against my feet and it was a tight fit on the sides and footbed did not cover width of my feet. I could feel blisters forming. Overall - great for fashion / leisurely walking. I do not plan to wear for long walks intended for a work out tho.

Look great. Size up at least a full size. I sized you a half a size, and the shoe fits well but it is very tight around the ankle.

These are SO cute. I was so stoked to get them. They are definitely comfortable too. I am always between an 8.5 and 9 in shoes so it's hard to judge without trying them on. I figured it's better to get the bigger size and just wear thicker socks to fill the space. But these were even big as a 9 with socks on. I am returning, but already ordered the smaller size.

Reading other reviews said the shoe ran large but I wear a 9 and It fit . The problem is that the mesh top does not allow for any extra room height at the toe level. you wiggle your toes and you can see every move coming up on the mesh so it felt kind of smothering. Also I have a very thin foot top to bottom and side to side and the shoe was snug. Can't imagine anyone with a wider thicker foot to feel comfortable in the shoe. I am returning because it was just not the most comfortable because of the mesh. The foot bed was great! I wish the mesh left more room.

I LOVED the look of the shoes, however, the top of the shoe came up too high around my ankle and it was very uncomfortable. I even reordered a size larger than a normally wear and it was still not good for me. Just not the right fit for me.
