Have bought Sorels for years and these are extremely narrow in the heel, midway, and toes. My guess is this was improperly designed as it doesn't seem to fit an adult foot.

I love the look of the these boots. The size 8 fits just a touch large, but with a heavier sock, they feel great. My only complaint is the material around the ankle areas is a bit stiff at first. I think I need to bend them around a bit to loosen up.

Why do I love you so much? Aggressive tread? Comfy? Warm? All these and so many more reasons. I am sure footed and stylish and my legs look AMAZING. Sorel chased me on instagram, but I love Zappos customer service. Super happy.

Love the fit and look of these shoes. I do have narrow feet, so these did me well, but I can understand the reviews of others. I wore some thicker socks the first few times I wore them but now they're broken in and I can wear them with thin dress socks.

I love these boots (I bought the off white ones). They are such a cool take on a Chelsea. I wear them so often I'm considering purchasing another pair just to have some on hand when these eventually become too worn. They did require a breaking in period, as they were really narrow fresh out of the box. But at this point, they're super comfortable. I wear these all year round in Southern Wisconsin. The tread is pretty bad on ice, but they work otherwise. Water resistant and warm with the right socks.

I bought these boots two months ago and wear them almost everyday! They are super convenient, slip on super fast for when you're on the go! I have relatively wide feet and despite the review, I have had 0 problems. I have always worn them with thick socks and have never gotten any blisters or bruises. Many people have complimented them and asked where they are from

LOVE these boots! Because my feet have been spoiled by wide toe box shoes (which has fixed a lot of my foot/plantar fasciitis issues), I was worried these would be too narrow (based on other reviews). I ordered a half size larger, and they fit great! I may have been fine with my regular size as well, however. Initially, I didn't think I'd keep the boots because the fronts dug into my shins a bit, so I had to wear long enough socks to cover my shins. With long socks, they felt incredible! After wearing them for about a week, I tried them without the longer socks, and they don't dig it. I am absolutely THRILLED with the quality, comfort, and CUTENESS these boots have!

This trendy lug style Chelsea is surprisingly lightweight considering how much material, both leather and rubber are used for the boot. It's fairly comfy, I did add a 'ball of foot' pads to the toe box of each boot. They do make my feet look somewhat big

These boots are my new favorites! They were comfortable from day 1. My orthotic fits inside and my feet feel good all day long. They're very chunky and sassy!

After reading numerous reviews, I purchased these in a half size larger than my normal size ( 7.5 versus my typical size of 7, normal width) as everyone noted how narrow and small they were. I know everyone’s feet shape are different but for myself the 7 would have worked better. I had about a half inch too much space at the end, even with thicker wool socks it still felt a smidge too long. I also didn’t find it especially narrow either. I love the style of this boot! They are the perfect balance of trendy but classic styling at the same time. Love the chalk color, a nod to the mod!

I love these Chelsea Boots. Very comfortable. A little large, but the next size down would have been too short. Very on trend. They look great on, too.

These boots are cute, however I found them to be too tall and tight around the ankle/calf area. Also, I feel the material -rubber-like-would be uncomfortable and hot--even in the winter months.

Love these, but they are just TOO narrow. They are also quite hard so need decently padded socks. If they were a 1/2" wider, I would have kept them. Perhaps they could be professionally stretched, since they are leather, but I didn't want to take the risk.

I love the way these shoes look and how lightweight they are - I kept my eye on them for almost a year before buying! But the sizing was all off for me. I am usually an 8, but the 8 was too big (particularly length wise) and the 7.5 was too tight all around :/ I unfortunately had to return them.

I had a feeling these were going to run small. I love them so much because they're so different looking. But they are SO NARROW if you don't Have skinny feet. Same thing with my Joan of arctic boots. But I wear Their kinetic sneakers and I love them. BASICALLY, if it's their leather boots it's a hit or miss, even if it's a whole size up. And I did a whole size up. I do know over time they will soften as well, but it is a turn off when you first get them especially if you order online. When there is a popular style, it's impossible to try on in store. Will be returning.

I have loved every other Sorel I've ever purchased, but these were so narrow as to be completely unwearable!

This is my second pair (different color) of this boot and I could not be more happy with them! I live in the north and they are warmer than other boots I have purchased. They are well made and wear well. As a Realtor, I march through mud, snow, etc and these are super easy to clean.

I got these boots for a trip to Iceland and ordered a half a size up from my normal 8.5. They were really, really narrow. I then ordered the size up but those were too big and I sent them back. I stuck it out and after a week these boots fit perfectly to my foot and I wear them every day. I'm now looking for some Spring/ Summer Sorels I'll be able to wear every day.

I have these in black, but in my street size (10) and after a couple of months of wear they stretched to the point of being too loose. They'll still be good on the coldest days with thick socks, but those days are few where I live. I went down half a size in the lighter color and they are a much better fit for everyday use. At first the leather around the ankles/top of ankle is tight, but within a day of wear they stretched enough to not bother me. The insoles are cushy and supportive, the soles are grippy and yet don't seem to hold onto mud and small stones like some boots. They are warm and water resistant and generally the perfect boot.
