Not slip resistant, poor stitching quality. Order up 1 full size.

I have a pretty normal width foot but these just seemed wide and and loose looking. I couldn't seem to get the laces cinched tight enough. Sent them back.

Great boot! I have the Evie bootie in a 6.5. I normally wear a 6 women’s, went up to a 6.5 like my Evie boot for this boot and it still runs small. Go up a full size with this style.

If you wear an 8 then order a whole size up especially if wearing thicker socks. I ordered a 8.5 and it is still very snug. I love the look, comfort, and style but definitely feel squished in toe-box

I really wanted to love these boots , but unfortunately either I got defective or idk but one feet fit perfectly and the other feet was so narrow and I thought maybe Ill put them on around the house to wear them out or stretch them in 15 minutes walking around the house I got blisters on my small toes , sadly returning them back and never getting sorrels

These run very small. Ordered a half size up and they were still too small. They were great boots otherwise. It was a bummer to have to send them back.

I so wanted these to fit. I usually take a 10, but tried on a friend's and they were too small. So I went up a size as reviewers suggested but sadly they are too big. The feel so comfortable otherwise! I really wanted them to fit. With they came in half sizes.

So cute but no width in the toe box. I have a slightly wider foot in the front. The way these boots fit my foot is very roomy in the heel but squeeze my fore foot and toes. Super bummed because I really like the boots otherwise. I normally wear an 8.5 or 9 in street shoes. I ordered a 9.5 in these and that length worked well with just a little extra room in the length with a thin sock on.

Super cute, but way too small. My husband got me a size 9 (I'm usually an 8 or 8.5) and they were still way small. I have wide-ish feet, but I would have had to get a 10 or higher for these to fit.

I loved this boot but it was too narrow. I have many sorels, all the same size. It was only after they didn't fit that I saw the suggestion that I order up a full size. I did reorder and it was too long. I kept the boots but am kinda bummed. half a size might have worked. But I didn't want to keep paying for shipping.

Interesting fit- it was narrow in the toe box and wide in the heel. Very cute design but I could not stop my heels from sliding around/ even with thick socks.

These are just bulky and I didn't like the look or feel of them on my ankle, in particular. To be fair, I am recovering from a broken foot and right now, nothing feels too good to wear, but the shaft up my ankle was really uncomfortable. I plan to find a lower profile shoe for winter--perhaps Sorel's Tivoli II. Also, the grey top part of the shoe is too pronounced, in my opinion. It looms large! Just not my preferred style.

Boots look good, but I followed the recommendation and went 1/2 size up, even though it was recommended to go up a full shoe size. When I tried them on even the half size was too big. I had to return.
I wish there was an option to exchange, because instead of getting the right size I just returned it and did not repurchase.
This is the 2nd time that I had to return a pair of Sorel without the option to exchange and ended up not repurchasing.

Purchased because I wanted a warm boot as I drive a bus..very disappointing! They aren't really that warm. I have less expensive boots that are much warmer!

Very stylish, love the nubuck quality and color-block, warm, lightweight, good traction… but NO support. If you have high arches, these are a sprained ankle just waiting to happen.

The 10 was too small, but I tried because the 10.5 was not available in this style.

I sized up a half size as suggested and it still felt very narrow and tight on my toes. I have average width for my feet. Super cute but had to send them back.

This shoe was about half size too big for me--I don 't like slipping in the ankle. Besides that, I didn't really care for the style. I think they would be warm, however!

After ordering a first pair of boots a size up as recommended, I found the fit way tooo big, so I then ordered my regular size, and ended up returning those as well as the width was way too big. The shoe laces did not stay tied at all. Overall the fit was way too large all around, plus I was a bit surprised at what appeared to be poor workmanship so I was very hesitant to keep either pair.
I'd also recommend:
Cabela's shoes, Columbia wear

These boots are so cute, but they were not comfortable at all. I’ve never had a problem with shoes being too narrow until these. For some reason Sorels don’t fit my feet.

Love this boot. Sadly I had to return. I have a few pair of Sorels, this boot was far more narrow at the front of the shoe compared to my others. I wear a size 10, I sized up to a 10.5, per the reviews. I went to a store and tried on an 11, way to sloppy. I ended up buying the Tivoli IV. They are note as cute as the Explorer boot. But I have been wearing them 2 weeks and they are warm and comfortable.

Sadly I am returning. The toe box is too tight and there is a black smudge on the toe.

This is not a rating of function, rather a comment on the color. Purchased the Sage color for my 16 y/o for Christmas, but the color is more gray than sage. Hoping my daughter will still like them.
