It looks cute but when you put them on, the liner slides down the back. It’s too late to return because I already wore them.

I love the look and warmth, but disappointed they ran so small. I decided to keep them vs returning, but I have to wear VERY THIN socks! I went up half size when I ordered, wish I had went up a whole size.

This was a very comfortable shoe, felt like you were walking on air. The advice from other reviews to go a half size up was spot on. I just didn't like how the part around my ankle wasn't so supportive and sorta folded down when I was walking. I also didn't love the way they looked.

Very short, but cute. Think seemed like they would be comfortable if the right length.

They are warm, light weight, and easy to tighten/tie up. My only complaint is that the lining can bunch up by the back of heal when putting them on.

I have another pair of Sorrel boots, of similar style, from a few years ago and the 11s are perfect. With this pair I listened to the reviews and bought a full size larger. They are exactly the length of my older Sorrels. This would be great except the width across the toe area is strangely narrow and my feet are definitely not wide. Very cute shoes, well made but not comfortable at all.

I love these boots! I would have given a 5/5 but the run extremely small. I have another pair similar to this style and ordered based on those I had to go up almost 2 sizes. Love the boots hate the inconsistencies in sizes all of my sorel footwear are different sizes.

I should have listened the reviews. Wanted to love them…run small and very narrow.

This is a beautiful shoe boot. But it is so narrow and short in the toe box region. I want to wear it to tour in the city during winter and walk a few miles. However, with even a thin sock this boot was squeezing. I am usually a size 61/2. I ordered a size 7. The 7 1/2 is currently sold out. I unfortunately have to return it

I found the Zorel Carnival Explorer to be too wide in the heel area. My heels slip up and down. I am going to try to wear them with a much thicker sock to see if this helps. If not I will return. I do wish the manufacturers would go back to make narrow width shoes and boots.

I ordered a size up and they are still really tight. I can only wear a half hour or so before it becomes much too uncomfortable. I have tried my thinnest socks and without socks and still to tight. Sad as they are super cute and warm, perfect for Wisconsin winters and I receive a lot of compliments when wearing them. Hard to gauge the quality of them - due to that I haven't been able to wear them for a long period of time.

I bought these boots in the Wood/Chalk color three months ago and am regretting my purchase. I really wanted to like these boots, and right out of the box they were very comfy and cozy. I sized 1/2 up from my usual and they fit perfectly. I received compliments on them when I was out on my walks. However after about 3 or 4 times of wearing them, the wood color of the suede started discoloring the sherpa. Additionally, the dye from the dark jeans I wear transferred onto the sherpa as well. I have tried with no success to clean the sherpa. My husband says nobody but me will notice this, but it really bugs me. Especially because I have only worn them about 6 times. If they were older and then this happened I wouldn't have cared as much. Honestly if I had known this would happen I never would have bought them.

These shoes are super warm and comfortable but they get dirty quickly and do not come clean. I ordered a half size bigger according to the instructions and probably didn't need to.

I ended up returning these. Ordered my usual Sorel size and they were way too snug. No room for socks. They definitely run small.

I really really wanted to love these, however they missed the mark. I have alot of other Sorel shoes, I am a big fan of the brand. They do run small & more narrow, I didn't mind that. They just had a funny feel, they felt like my whole foot was being pushed forward with each step. I had my daughter try them, in case I was crazy, & she said the same thing! It's just a 'funny feeling fit'. I wanted to love these. So hopefully it will work out for some of you.

I loved the look of these, but they didn't fit. I ordered a full size up from my regular size. The length was fine, but the toe box was too narrow.

these are cute boots but way overpriced for the quality - very flimsy; impractical fleece lining - will be dirty in no time - and they are very small -ordered up a half size and just fit with thin socks - sent them back

Beautiful boots, but they run small. I wear a size 8 and had to exchange them for an 8.5, but they were still too small, so I exchanged them for a size 9 and my toes still felt too tight, so I returned them. Too bad, I really wanted them!

The shoes run true to size but I got a bigger size due to all the reviews so they are way too big. They get very dirty and look horrible. Very unhappy with my purchase.
