I wear a 7.5. The reviews suggested sizing to an 8, since these don't come in half sizes. I should have purchased a 7. I love the width at the front of the shoe, but the heel was a little too wide, and the edge of the shoe at the heel was much too high.

I ordered my regular size and struggled to get my feet in. Reason: these are not traditional sneakers as tongue is sewed in completely. If you have even a moderate arch, these will be too much of a struggle than they are worth. They are light and look nice but not that comfortable either. Had to return them.

Nice sock-like breathable mesh sneaker. Feels more stable than cushy. I like the cream/white combo it gives some depth to the look instead of boring all white.

These shoes are just what I wanted. Wanted a knit, white shoe for summer-time sneakers, and these are great looking and comfy as all get out. They are actually a kind of cream color, with dappling in darker shades. I like them!

They might be my favorite shoes ever! I love the comfort and the style of how sliming they make my foot look is the best!

Really love the comfort of these shoes! I had ordered a size 6 because another style of Sorrells I had ordered said they ran big. These didn’t and the 6 was just a tad to small. My big toe was all the way to the end of the shoe. A 6 1/2 was just right. Good arch support and very light.

I purchased because I fell in love with the color. Overall this shoe will not disappoint. Comfortable, and I love that it feels like a sock around my foot

Wanted to love these shoes, but the interface between the different materials inside the shoe left a flap that rubbed. Also, they are difficult to get on with socks because the foot opening is small, so I'd only be able to wear them without socks. I missed the option for both. Disappointed because I liked the cushion and sole height and the way they looked from the side. The toe area seemed oversized and made the shoes look odd from the front. They could be really comfortable and attractive with a few tweeks.

This is a really cute shoe. I was surprised at how cute it was when it was on. Unfortunately, I have a hard-to-fit left foot so it didn't work well for me. But I would have bought them in a second if that hadn't been the case. Seemed very comfortable on my "normal" foot.

I have always taken size 7.5 in Sorel and these are no exception. Great fit, love the stretch in the material of the shoe. Super cute pattern that is more than a basic black, but not too over the top. Will be a staple with joggers, leggings and jeans.

These shoes are super comfy. Like pulling a sock on! However, I was looking for a more supportive shoe I can hike/walk the dogs in throughout the spring, summer and fall. These are perfect for summer but again, feel more like a sock with some cushion ;)

Super comfortable shoes! I love the stretch knit fabric that hugs your feet like a sock. I also love the wonderfully cushioned sole that feels like walking on marshmallows. I did, however, find the sizing a little tricky. I ordered my usual size in athletic shoes (9.5), which is half a size larger than my regular shoes. The 9.5 felt slightly too big, especially in the toe area. Next, I ordered size 9, which felt a little snug. So at this point I'm not sure if either size will really work for me. Maybe it's just my feet because the other reviews are all very positive. Or maybe I just need to get adjusted to the super stretchy fabric. Other than the sizing issue I experienced, these are amazingly comfortable, cute shoes!

Wanted some lightweight shoes for traveling via plane and train - something to easily take off as well. They are by far the most comfortable tennis shoes I’ve ever slipped on! Wide toe box, breathable mesh, great support and cushion and love the style. I own quite a few Sorels, but these sneakers are my favorite.

I love these! I read many reviews before purchasing so I was prepared that they wouldn’t be pure white. I love the contrast as they don’t show dirt or wear as fast. They are super comfortable! I don’t find them difficult to get on, but my feet are skinny, if you had very wide feet that might not be the case. I wish they had a better insole but I could say that for every pair of shoes these days. I love them, they are cute, very light weight (but not flimsy) and really comfortable.

I bought a half size larger in order to wear a golf/sport sock with these shoes. I put them On right out of the box and haven’t taken them off. Very comfortable fit!

This shoe does not have a separate tongue, so you pull them on like a sock. Once on they were comfortable, snug, and cushiony. But my normal size 10 was a little too short, with concern my big toe would rub through the knit. I did not exchange for a 10.5 because the sock-like construction was a little more work than I was willing to do putting on a shoe.

They are comfortable. They are a little big but a size smaller might have been to small. I really do like them so far. Only worn them 2 times so far but was all day and feet never hurt.

These shows are so incredibly comfortable, truly! But oh my gosh they are near impossible to get on my feet! The fabric over the top doesn't give much at all so I usually have to put them on and off at least 6 times before my foot is in the shoe and the heel isn't sucked in under my foot

The material was like a tight cloth that constricted my feet. The sole was comfortable and I would have kept them if the top part of the shoe was less constricting
