These run narrow. A wide is not available. I loved the look but had to return them.

These boots are cute, but they run A full size to small. I read the reviews and went up a half size and they still barely fit ( my toes touch the end) without socks! For reference I wear an 8.5-9, purchased a 9.5. They seem to keep your feet warm enough in 35-40F, haven't tried in snow.

This boot is okay. It keeps my feet warm and dry in the cold and wet, but they aren't quite as warm as they are in my other Sorel's of similar style. Also, when these boots get muddy, they are a bit difficult to get clean again.

They are way darker in person. About 1 1/2 sizes too small and really tight. Very cute though. Size up for sure!

These boots run very small. I have an 8 in Sorel Out n About boots and 8.5 in the Slimpack boots. I bought an 8.5 in these and have to send them back. My toes touch the end of the boots and they are also tight and narrow. ALSO, they squeak VERY loud with each step (I only tried them on and walked on hardwood floors) It's so loud that I'm not even sure I'll try a bigger size.

These boots are adorable! The exterior appears water resistant and they are impressively lightweight. However, they run extremely small. After checking that the boots hadn't just been put in a mislabeled box, I compared them to a similar style of Sorels and observed a one inch difference in length. Sadly, I had to return them.

Not comfortable. Did not fit around my foot well. The material isn't forgiving.

Really wanted these to work but as other reviewers said, they were too narrow in the toe box. They were also very stiff around the ankle and rubbed in the short time I walked around the house.

Super cute and comfy insole but unfortunately I had to return because they were just too snug. I wear a size 9 and don't have a wide foot but these were tight in my toe area. Otherwise a great boot!

True to Sorel sizing, ordered up a half size. This might have worked with thin socks but they're winter boots, which usually means thicker socks for me so the toe box was too cramped around the bunion area. The top part overhangs the sole if you have anything other than a narrow foot. I was worried that would make them too tippy as well. Sadly returned, but the stye is super cute.

The shoes are comfy and adorable! However the height of them cut my calf off in a way that made my legs look very squatty/short. I tried jeans rolled, tucked and leggings to no avail. So i returned then.

I am typically a 7 or 7.5 so I ordered a 7.5. They were too small. I would recommend going up a size. I will be exchanging them for a size 8. Super cute!

Pros: lightweight, stylish, waterproof Cons: odd fit - instep is baggy, doesn't provide the support you'd expect from an ankle boot. I returned these.

These look so cute online & I wanted to love them in person! But they felt too small in both length and width even though I bought my usual size. I have another pair of Sorel boots in the same size and they fit perfectly - enough room for midweight wool socks even. The style of these was bulkier looking in the midfoot area when I actually put them on than I had thought from the photos and I did not like that. So back they go, so glad Zappos has awesome free shipping both ways!

I ordered these in black along with a couple other Sorel boots as options to wear when I had to work in the snow. I usually wear size 8 but I ordered size 9 based on other reviews saying these run small and to allow for a thicker sock. Unfortunately they were still to small to fit my Smart Wool sock, but there wasn't time before my trip to exchange for a bigger size. They are light weight and waterproof, but my toes were frozen after being in the snow for a couple hours. These will be good for chilly days and light snow, but I wont wear them again in deep snow and below freezing temperatures. Kind of disappointed.

These run so small that I would recommend ordering 2 sizes larger than what you normally wear.

I love the style of these but the fit is awkward. The sole is really flat so when I walked in them my foot popped up and down with each step. Also where the shaft hits my calf it cut in a little bit and was uncomfortable. I was very disappointed because they're so cute!

I was so excited to receive these boots today and I am really disappointed. The "synthetic leather" is not even leather type material at all! It is like a cheap plastic feeling material. Overall the boots are cute but they do not feel like $100 boots - I am glad I did not pay full price for them. They seem narrower than my other Sorels as well. I did order an 8.5 and I have previously ordered an 8, the size up helps but still narrow. I am not sure but I think these are going back just because they feel so cheap. Pretty bummed. On the plus side the soles feel like they would be pretty grippy. :)

Loved the style, loved the look, loved the color. But wow, for a Sorel, these are plenty narrow. I've been a "B" width my whole life, but these really squeezed my feet, particularly in the toe box which had not a bit of roominess at all. I supposed Sorel made a shoe that was a but more trendy and cool than the clunky boots, but these are for narrow feet. Totally bummed. Thought I'd finally ended by search for the perfect winter shoe.

The boot in the picture was cuter than the boot in person. It fit me weird, bent in all the wrong places. Although more casual looking than I really wanted, if it had been very comfortable I could have gotten over odd shiny appearance of the fabric.

I really wanted to love these boots. But they're actually the first ones that I really dislike. I thought the fabric would be different and smoother(?) but it looks more like canvas-y. And then to me it hasn't actually felt waterproof. I was in heavy downpour today and water soaked through. And because of the insulation it actually retained any dampness. So my feet stayed wet for a long period of time. I also didn't think they were aesthetically pleasing or functional. Bit of a letdown for me.
