I love these Sorels!! I wear a 7 normally, but read reviews and ordered a 7.5 and it fits great! Very warm and comfortable. No problems with the zippers. I love slipping them off and on easily. Worth the money.

Great soles, too, for recess duty on the sledding hill!

I was very pleased to find size 10.5, but unfortunately they were a little too narrow for me. Ended up returning them and ordering the mens' version.

Sorel snow boots, always a great choice. I ordered two pair in different styles/colors. The other pair were more comfortable for my feet.

I like them but I thought the faux fur was going to be in the lining too. It's not. Still comfy

I have MS so I have some major issues putting on shoes, in addition to walking. I haven’t worn these out yet, but they get 5 stars for the ease of putting them on. They feel very comfortable without socks and they are lightweight. I bought my usual size 9, and the right fits great, the left is a bit tight, which is weird because my right foot is bigger! I have 4 other pairs of sorrels boots and sandals. I’m always recommended to get a 9.5 and they’re always a bit too big, so I get another in a 9 that fits. The 9.5 was not available, but I think in this style, in order to wear socks, it would be better!

Several people who own sorel boots warned me that one boot would fit great and the other boot would feel tight. Sure enough! The right boot perfect and the left boot is tight. I am hoping with wear it will loosen a bit

I was looking for some waterproof and warm boots for everyday use and these fit the bill! I usually wear a half-size bigger in Sorel but needed a full-size larger in these ( I am a 7.5 and the 8.5 fit best.)

I was hoping to find fashionable boots which I could use independently. Unfortunately, these boots still do not open wide enough for me. They are beautiful. Steph Chesley

The Sorel Explorer II Joan Dual Zipper runs AT LEAST a half-size small. And if you want to wear thick socks, better size up a full size. I tried on several Sorel winter boots, ALL of them fit differently. Ultimately I went with one that had a bit of platform - for both style & function.

These were just too narrow. I ordered my regular size, and a half size up and a full size up. The full size up felt better width wise, but the show is so narrow that once I stood up in them you could see my foot miffing top out. Sitting down the shoes looked great, standing not so great. So that also told me just too narrow and wouldn’t be comfortable. But they are fantastic looking in person and I think they would have been cozy and stylish! But just not wide enough and didn’t look nice with my foot spilling over the sides of the sole.

I had issues with the zippers and while they were comfortable I found them awkward with dual zippers. I will be returning. I also found it to be a half size too small.

I am a size 7 always in Uggs and Hunter boots and I bought these in a full size bigger (8) and they were so tight and narrow and the color shown looked black online and when it came it’s grey and I returned bc of the color but also the size.

I had a pair originally that was size 8 but were very tight. I thought they would give but didn't so I sold them. I ordered a 2nd pair in a 9 because the first pair was so short. These are fine on the length but very wide on my foot. I can make up the space with very heavy socks. They will be fine for the snow and cold here in the midwest but for the price I won't buy another pair.
I'd also recommend:
I have a pair of much cheaper Sketcher boots that fit perfect in a size 8.

Ordered as Christmas present for my daughter. Very stylish and comfortable. One of the zippers was extremely hard to open and close but she would have made it work, since there is a zipper on each side. She wore them for the first time today and I saw that the zipper causing the issues was seperated. Unfortunately had to return, but ordered another pair. Hopefully no issues with that pair.

As other reviewers noted, the zippers on these rub against my ankle bones, making them uncomfortable. The shaft is a bit wide around the ankles as well. Too bad. They are cute other than that.
