This shoe does not fit well! It’s super wide and is not flattering at all. I had to return them.

Looking for wide toe box. This looked wide in the pictures but it is too narrow for my toes. I have a narrow foot, but the toe box cramped my toes. Other wise they looked great. Not for me.

I really wanted to like these but the soles were very poorly designed. I don’t even have wide or flat feet, but when I walked in them the inside of my foot was hanging over the inside sole. I think it was due to the rest of the shoe having no structure. Sadly they were returned. I did have to go a whole size up in them for those that are looking to purchase.

Not what they used to be. I have two pairs of the Explorer II Joan Boots, and SOREL has changed the fit and the materials. Not as much fur around the ankle or inside, so the cushy feeling is gone; the boot is wider than previously constructed; and, the materials is stiffer and not as comfortable. Hugely disappointed for a long time consumer.

I usually love Sorels, but these are unflattering and run really small. I’m usually a 6.5, but a 7 in Sorels. Had to size up to 7.5 and they’re still tight and really narrow on my not very wide feet, even with thin, not thick wool socks. They also fall at a strange spot on my calf that makes it look wider. Bummed because they look cute in theory, but with the strange fit I’m not sizing a full size and a half up again.

No two fit the same, even in the same pair. This is the 3rd pair of these that I have purchased and returned. No consistency in sizing or quality.

These are adorable but miss sized for Sorel. Unfortunately they are going back.

I loved these, after 10 wears, they started literally ripping at the seams. The stitching that holds the shoe laces broke at the top. The shoe fabric looks shaggy - these have never been truly wet, and I'm disappointed that they deteriorated so quickly.
They're VERY CUTE. So, if you need a throw away pair of snow shoes, these are for you. Otherwise, find a different option.

I liked this boot, but it was a little wide for me and just didn't seem to have enough support so I returned it. I opted to keep the Sorel "Lennox Street Boot" instead which seemed to have more support and run a little narrower for my feet for a better fit. I think the leather will also wear better than the suede.
I'd also recommend:

Run really small. I ordered a half size up after reading reviews. Toes still touching with thin socks. Also a bit narrow. Back they go, a bit bummed because they are cute.

I love how they look but they don't fit my foot right. They're very short for a size 8. The wedge styles all fit me absolutely perfectly in an eight. This one is wider and shorter. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to wear them with warm winter socks.

Super stylish but runs small in my opinion. Because they are very tight, I will be sending them back. If you do decide to order, I would suggest sizing up.

I ordered these boots and couldn't wait to try them on. However I was disappointed with how they fit. I love the look of the boot but as a true size 8, these boots were tight and not as comfortable as I would have expected. I will be returning them:(.

Not a bad looking shoe. They just fit my feet weird. I have a high instep and a wide toe box, and these just aren't going to do it for me. They're going back.

I just returned these boots, sadly. They are beautiful , warm and seemingly comfy and would be perfect if they fit! The middle of the boot is too wide, and kind of bunched up. The toes were too narrow. May be a poorly made pair in the lot.

Fit did not work. 7 was too small and 7.5 too big.

Received and it was obviously previously used & the white rubber bottom was dirty. Returned next day after receiving. Zappos please check items before sending back out to customers. Or at least heavily discount and explain shoes condition.

Made very cheap, mostly plastic material. Would hardly bend with my foot while walking. Returned these boots. Not like the old Sorel boots I remember at all. Very disappointing purchase.

WAY too narrow. Sizing up doesn't help as they get longer but still too narrow. My toes are literally on top of each other they are so squeezed in. The soles are also really stiff and they're pretty bulky, heavy-duty boots. They seem like they'd last for years, however not comfortable at all.

I bought two sizes so I could find the right fit. They seem to run small so a full size up worked best. Both were just uncomfortable. For the price they should feel great so back they went.

These boots run extremely small. I wear a 10.5-11, I tried an 11 and they were so tight.

These boots were very disappointing. Wore them 2 times and my foot was actually sipping wet after walking around in less than a 0.5 centimeter of snow on the group. Not water resistant at all.

I loved the look/style. The left boot was defective. Style ran small. Didn't like that I had to pay for shipping

Eyelet fell off and I shipped them in (before the year warranty was up) paid by myself. Couldn't fix them and didn't even refund me the whole price I paid. Disappointed
