Gorgeous shoes but they are real narrow and for some reason the back of the foot/ankle keeps slipping out into the layered slot above when you walk.

I was so excited about these, but they were just too tight on my poor little foot. Too narrow, mostly. Also the heel slipped when I walked.

Shoe part was fine but the top of the boot was so stiff that it hurts the leg. Sorel needs to soften the leather material so it’s pliable and comfortable

These shoes area so cute and made very well. They look amazing, but the fit isn’t great. I’ve seen other reviewers mention having the same problem—I always wear size 7 and in these boots, they were way too big in the heel area, sliding up and down even with thick socks. I returned and ordered the size 6.5 from sorel (out of stock in that size here). They feel too narrow and small through the toe box, but the heel still feels too roomy. I like them so much, that I may wear them and hope for the best, but the fit is definitely not ideal.

Very hard to put on. Narrow in the toe box. Thought about exchanging them for a bigger size but they already look so huge! Returning

I wanted to love these boots, but just like so many others have said, they are horribly narrow and just painful to wear. They are really cute, but not worth limping all day. Sorel, please listen to your customers and consider releasing this boot again with NORMAL sizing. You guys really missed the mark on these boots. Love all my other Sorel boots, so it's odd that they got these so wrong.

I sized up based on other Sorel shoes I have tried on and these were a little loose but too narrow for a thicker sock. Also very narrow and uncomfortable at the top where it hit my leg. I usually wear a 6.5 and ordered a 7 which would have been ok if I could fit a thicker sock. Very cute so bummed they didn’t work out.

So sad these are so uncomfortable. Im a hairstylist in northern utah and needed something that I could be warm in but was also cute. Im on my feet for hours and these are not made for that even though they look like it. I've tried breaking them in and wearing them for short periods at a time and it still doesn't help. I think the main problem is they are very narrow. I've never had to order wide before but if you could in these I think it would fix the issue. Leaving 2 stars because they are warm and cute but can only wear for maybe 3 hours.

These are very skinny. I have blisters on my feet every time I wear them.

Such a cute boot but NARROW. I have regular width feet- not wide feet (and I've had them measured at a shoe store) and my foot felt so cramped I can't even tell you the comfort of the shoe, so it was an automatic no. Really need to make these wider because I love my other sorel shoes!

Another beautiful looking boot, but missed the mark on comfort level. Hard to get on, too narrow, and I could tell they wouldn't be comfy for long distance winter walks. Wanted to love them, but couldn't justify the price. Guess I'm stuck with Uggs while I search for my next favorite winter/waterproof boot

Bought these thinking I'd be the exception to the rule as other reviewers said these ran small/narrow. I've never had an issue with shoes (Sorel or otherwise) being too narrow on my feet, but these pinched and rubbed at my small toe in a way that feels beyond "breaking in." They were a bit too long besides (I ordered a half-size up), which means they just didn't fit right in either direction. 2 stars because the style is great and they seem well-made otherwise.

Very comfortable boot but the fabric is very tight around the ankle where it actually cut into my skin. Hoping they loosen up!

The shoe is really hard in the heel. It plainly hurts. There is no cushioning. It just feels like card board.

These boots are super cute and exactly what I was looking for, but they are extremely narrow. I went up a full size because I read the reviews, and it was way too long, so then I went up a half size. It's strange because they fit well when you first put them on, but once you wear them for longer than 15 minutes, they start to feel tight. I don't think I would recommend these boots unless your have extremely narrow feet.

They look great but are very narrow. I wouldn't order these unless you have a narrow foot. They hurt my feet.

These shoes are way too narrow. I don't have particularly wide feet. They are also very stiff and make your feet look huge.

I love the look/design of these boots but the actual product is not excellent. They were extremely narrow and much more hard & plastic-y than they appeared in the photos. I ordered the same size I have in 2 other pairs of Sorel boots and I couldn't even get my foot into these, so strange. I'm confused about how Sorel sizing varies so much across models. Would be great if they could work on that issue. Their shoes could also stand to be wider in general.

Too narrow in the front/toes part. My feet are really narrow and fit right. But after wearing these for an hour, with socks, my pinky toes got sore. I loved the style it made me sad to return them. Can’t understand why these companies do not have normal fittings.

The boot is super cute, but the ankle hole cut into my leg and felt tight and stiff. The fit around my foot was tight as well. I may have worn them in, but I need something that will be good for a lot of walking. Had to sadly return them. Tighter and higher than expected.

Cute, comfortable, love the soles. BUT these are not waterproof at all. I was in the rain for maybe 15 minutes with them and my feet were absolutely soaked.

Could not even get on. I ordered my regular sorel size 7.5. I have 3 other pairs. Granted all of them are sandals so maybe that makes a difference. But the leather was sooooo hard I couldn’t get them on to even try them. They are cute but they had to go back. I would not recommend
