I ordered 38.5 and they felt like a 36. I wear 38 from Ecco, Asics, Clarks, Stonefly. I really don't understand how sizes for these shoes. They are nice, good quality, soft, warm. Maybe I will order a 40 and see if that is my size really strange

This particular color runs a half size smaller than the others. Ordered my regular size but they were too small, had to return. Ordered the same size in a different color and they fit fine!

Wear between 7.5/8 (8 for Nike, can do 7.5 in New Balance). I have slightly wide feet, these don’t work for anything wider than narrow. Look great, disappointed that I have to return due to being uncomfortable in the width.

I had high hopes for these boots, maybe a little bit too high, and I knew I was taking a risk ordering online. I normally wear a size 8.5, but ordered a 9 based on all the other reviews. I have medium width feet (maybe slightly on the wide side, but not a true wide) and the size 9 is snug to the point where I probably won't be able to wear thick socks with them. They are not as comfortable as I had hoped, either. My toes feel like they are sliding into the toe box. I'm considering returning them, even though they are very cute and I want them to work so badly.

I got mine and they looked great. Only problem is they run small and I needed to return twice for a half size up.

Regrettably , I am returning these cuties! I am a 7.5 and my toes were uncomfortably at the end. While the width was ok, a mid -weight wool sock would NEVER fit. Sadly, there is no exchange for me in an 8.

These boots are so stylish and warm. However, definitely size up. I'm normally a 6.5 and they were so small that I couldn't even get them on my foot. I sized up to a 7 and honestly could have gone to 7.5.

These shoes run small and narrow. I wish Sorel would get with the program and make more widths in their shoes because I love the style and quality.

Cute, but a narrower toe than I like. I'm having a personal issue with a longer second toe, wanted to make sure there wasn't a rub. I returned them.

Looked nice. I ordered a full size larger so I could wear socks. They didn’t feel very comfortable. Not enough cushioning when I walk and I walk a lot. I Returned.

Out of the box these are just a little tight with med. wt. socks. I ordered the next size up and they were way too big. Because these are leather and plush inside, I kept the size 8. Normally I am a 7.5 - 8. I expect these will stretch some. They are nice and warm!
I'd also recommend:
HOKA- super comfortable! Keen converse type sneaks - live in these.

I bought a full size up based on reviews and I should NOT have done that. They're too big! I'm usually a 7.5, bought an 8.5 and so sad. I'm pretty disappointed that they don't fit right. I love the look and bought based on a friend's recommendation. Wish I could exchange for a better size. I don't know what to do with them at this point

Runs large. The heel is too big and feels like my foot is slipping out when I walk. There's also no support in the arch so it looks and feels very flimsy. Disappointed as this was one of the only options for a cute winter boot for snow and it's not like Sorel's normal sizing.

Your site suggested ordering a size larger. Trusting Sorel's reputation, I did. I wore them and they're way too big. Now I'm trying to find a home for them.

What happened to Sorel? These boots used to be the best. My usual size was a size too small. I went up a full size, and even then they were still too small, and that was without socks. If I wanted to wear a pair of socks with these boots, I'd need to go up two full sizes. Back they go. Something is definitely off with the manufacturing. Besides being too short, the boot was off in the width and overall feel. Sorel was always the gold standard in boots. Sorel, what happened? I'm going to have to look elsewhere, will probably go with DuckFeet.

The "tongue" loop of the boot isn't center aligned and is very noticeable. Disappointed in the quality considering the price. Comfortable and cute otherwise.

I’m a true 8-81/2 and usually buy a 9 boot. This is the first time I’ve had to size to a 10 for a proper for with socks. My toes touched the end of the 9. At least one size smaller than a true to size fit.
