Great boots and glad I added them to Sorel collection of footwear! Despite some saying these are too narrow, my foot is slightly wide and fit fine. Normal to be snug at first and with light/medium sock were fine as shown in pic. Perfect boots for TX cold/wet winters and super cute.

Narrow shoe to get in, even with tongue completely folded open. Wearing with a regular sock the seams hurt my skin around the ankle and malleolus. I like the look of the shoe, but its very stiff and uncomfortable to wear, it will take a lot of pain and chafed skin to break them in.

I got these boots because I liked the uniqueness of the sole, they are waterproof, and something that I could hopefully wear in a multitude of Midwest USA conditions. I purchased my normal Sorel size (these are my 3rd pair). The first time I wore them was on a 2 mile outdoor winter lights walk and I was a but nervous that I hadn't broken them in yet. Absolutely no issues! These were so comfortable and my feet were warm without being hot. Fabulous boots.

definitely trust the reviews regarding sizing, especially if you have a wider foot. I am usually size 9. I had to return and get a size 9.5 much better.
I was looking for a waterproof shoe that was also stylish and edgie this is definitely that. Love them so far now that I sized up a little. They could be a little bit more comfortable, but I wouldnt call them uncomfortable. Im keeping them :)

The shoes are very well made but run really narrow. I will return because to go any size up would be too long and my correct size is too narrow.

Super Stylish, Weather Resilient, like other reviews they are very narrow so I bought a size up. I have to keep the left foot laces loose cause something presses on a nerve and hurt like heck. They've been hard to break in but I love them so much and wear them almost every day with leggings, dresses pants. I wish and hope they get more comfortable. They are super durable and great waterproof in the slush and snow!

Absolutely love the shoes. My feet are a size 6 and they slide a bit within the shoe. Because its rubber you cant really wear it in and they are oddly easy to scratch up and peel. Very cute but still a little sad

I get so many compliments! They are oddly sized though. I sized up. I'm glad I did for the comfort in the toe box but they are long. Most comfortable with thicker tall socks, I would make sure the boots don't rub on skin. I wore them on a hike in the snow and my feet were dry and warm. Overall, great boot and I would say get them!

I wish these had worked out but they are way too stiff and narrow. There is no way sizing up would make it any better. There is no room in the toebox and I doubt they would ease much after wearing. They are also solid and heavy. Sadly I had to return.

This boot is so striking! With these colors and the chunky tread, I loved the look. But just like many other reviewers, it is too darn narrow. I wear a 6.5 but opted to buy this in a 7. My foot felt completely immobile, I couldn't wiggle a single toe. The fit was so snug that I wasn't sure my foot would even flex while walking. The length was okay, but honestly my toes were right up to the front edge of the boot. What convinced me to return them was the fact that I also purchased a size 7 ONA Sneaker Boot and the fit was amazing. Like night and day difference, the ONA was way more comfortable. Sadly these boots had to go back.

Comfortable once you find the right size. I had to size up an entire size for them to fit me correctly. Im a true size 7.5, I tried on the 7.5, the 8 and the 8.5. I ended up buying the 8s and then returning them after the first wear because they were too tight and gave me blisters and pain. Exchanged them for 8.5 and now theyre comfortable, warm, stylish and I love that theyre waterproof! But they are narrow even with the larger size so I wouldnt recommend for anyone with wide feet. If you plan to wear with thick socks you might even need to go up 1.5 sizes!

Great rain boots and very stylish. My foot hurt a little after the first whole day but could just be new shoes. I love the look.

I received these boots yesterday and I'm wearing them today (that's how desperate I was to wear them!). I'm glad I bought my usual size (6) and did not size up because they would have looked huge on my feet (I'm super short!). It is true, though, that they are pretty narrow, so if you have wide feet, I wouldn't recommend them. I walked 1.3 miles today and I have a couple of blisters on my ankles, which I was kind of expecting due to other people's reviews, but I hope the boots will get more comfortable after wearing them for some time. Anyway, Sorel never disappoints with the excellent quality and super cool look of their shoes!

Super cute and stylish. Comfortable to walk in as well. Might be a tad narrow in the toe bed area. Other than that. Love! And great for snow as well

PS: I also bought these many months ago for my daughter. She loves them, but thinks they are a bit narrow. She wears them all the time and I guess they've stretched enough. They were much more expensive when I got hers too-so now they are a very nice price!!

I just received these boots and I ordered a 7.5 instead of the suggested 7, glad I did. I think that helps with he narrow build of the boot, although I don't think it is as narrow as I have read in some reviews as it will be fine for me. I'm excited to have them for a future trip. They are long looking, so my foot looks longer than I am accustomed to, but I think that'll be ok too. They are gorgeous and well made. They give me the height and flat walking surface I must have in all my shoes/boots. Even thought the back is supposedly higher than the front, they still seem level, which I love. I also love the black with white sole that I chose. It's very sharp.

They run true to size. But as many said they are narrow in ankle. So they are only perfect to those girls who have small ankles. Even then, it is hard to get in them. But as soon as you got them on they feel great. Make sure you have tall socks on, as they might rub your ankle to blisters.
Looks very stylish and modern.

I thought the fit was fine. I love the look and the colors (olive green, light green, red stripe). I found the boots way to heavy so I am returning. I am sorry. I loved the look.

Very comfortable shoe! I have wide feet and decided to size up just in case. Sizing up has given me a few callouses so I would recommend sizing up a half size or wearing thick socks. The shoes are super comfortable and well made (plus they make me taller!). Overall I love them!

As others have said - this boot runs narrow. I ended up getting my normal size because I have *very* normal feet. Not super narrow, but not remotely wide. I can definitely easily wear this boot in my size, however - these are the kind of boots you're going to want to wear thick socks in. I cannot do this comfortably. If anything, I wear normal socks and my feet get a little sweaty - which is unusual for all of the other sorel boots I own. I have at least 8 other sorel shoes in my arsenal, and these definitely do not fit like their usual.
Overall - I would size up, replace the insole with a hiking one or some kind of arch support that gives some breathability, and wear all the time. They genuinely are INCREDIBLY cute. I live in a mountain town and get compliments constantly. If I was smart and not lazy about returns, I would have swapped these with a bigger size. Don't make my mistake!

I REALLY want these boots to work out. They are beautiful, stylish, and the features sound super functional. But sadly too narrow on in the toe box, and the of the foot. Pretty roomy in the heal. I normally wear a 6.5 in casual shoes or size 7 in my running shoes. I read the reviews and order a half size up. Two biggest call-outs are how narrow it is and it's super long when you order a half size up.

I'm a size 7 but based on reviews I sized up to 7.5 because they do run narrow. 7.5 and 7 were too long from toe to heal. 3rd times a charm with sizing down to 6.5 that was the right length, I'm hoping the width will improve after I break them in.
