Fits true to size. I am 8.5 medium and that works. I find the support adequate but might try an orthotic insert. A little stiff on my inner ankle but hope they'll wear in. Very light! I had tried Blundstones and the fit was not right and were much heavier than these. Living in LA I have only had the chance to walk on streets in light drizzle - not sure if the tread would do me well on ice.

So stinking cute! I love the chunky sole and that the shoe is lightweight. Thank you for the front and back loops, these are totally necessary for getting the bootie on with the narrow opening. Booties took a few weeks to break in, since the back was a bit stiff and the toes were a little tight (and I have a very narrow foot). The last boots I purchased (not Sorel, but another premium brand) were instantly comfortable, but the stretched out way too much and too quickly. So far, my Sorel's have softened up pretty quickly and have kept their shape, like they should. So glad that i bought these!! I rated them as narrow, but that is a good thing, since I have a narrow foot

I’m surprised by how comfortable these boots are. they are like sneakers. I found one boot is slightly looser on the ankles than the other one, which I can feel when walking. other than that, they are perfect. so stylish

I could not fit a thicker sock in these and my hope was to wear them with both a regular sock and perhaps a thicker sock in cold weather. Also for me I needed a bit more “roll” with the sole design that I did not get. Overall a nice boot.

These were so cute , but the opening is really narrow and I even have smallish feet. I could barely get my orthotic in let alone my feet. I didn't even try when I could see what a struggle they were going to be. I'm trying to replace my go-to boots and can't see going through difficulties trying to put on these boots on a daily basis. Very disappointed as I love Sorels and especially their boots.

I really like these boots. They're very on trend, and have a nice rich camel color. My one complaint is that they are kind of hard to get on, but I imagine that with time and wear that will get easier.

Oddly enough the size 10 boots felt smaller than the size 9.5 ones. I think it's because the style is long and narrow. These looked good, but were a little stiff to pull on and the narrow cut was a dealbreaker for me.

Fit & comfort we’re very good, but even in the house my feet were so cold; it felt like my feet were clammy, but they didn’t feel damp when I took them off.

These boots are wonderfully lightweight, so a great candidate for travel; however, they are also very bulky so that might cancel out the lightness, depending on your travel style. Cushy, comfortable insole but no arch support to speak of. I have a narrow to moderate foot and they felt just right. Had to exchange for a half size larger than my normal 9. The 9.5 somehow made my foot look too much like Frankenstein, so I decided to return.

I am so happy to have these boots this fall! They are honestly perfect for that chill, cool, wet weather. These boots are easy to dress up or down. You can wear them working around outside or dress up with a cute flannel or sweater. I love the nice thick sole. It makes standing and walking very comfortable. The brown color of the boot is a great medium shade with a fade into a darker brown at spots. The browns melt together beautifully. I appreciated the stretchy sides and the two pulls tabs on the front and back. It makes slipping on the boots much easier! They fit true to size but they are pretty narrow. They make my feet feel nice and secure. They are pretty light weight for how sturdy and well made they are. I love that they are waterproof and keep my feet warm and dry. They have great tread on the bottom to keep you from slipping or sliding. They really do take place of two boots - a working boot and a stylish boot. They are very versatile. I would recommend these to anyone! They only thing I would consider is if you have a wider foot and usually wear 'wide' shoes that these might not be the best fit.

I was super excited when Sorel released a different style boot than their traditional styles. I received this product and was excited to test them out! My first recommendation, I highly encourage sizing up. I got a size 7 1/2 (normal size) and these were extremely tight on my foot. The shoes aren't stretchy so there isn't a ton of give room around the ankle part. If you're looking for an extremely structured boot, these are a good option! They're waterproof and look great with a pair of jeans. Love the brown color and the height of them! These shoes will definitely take some time to break in due to the structure, so keep that in mind when first wearing.

I really wanted to like these well priced waterproof boots but they just aren't the right fit for me. A very good alternative is the Sorel Emilie III Chelsea Waterproof boot...especially if you catch them when they are offered at a great sale price...then you can smile and get a pair in every color!

I ordered my usual size 8. I've worn Sorel boots for many years, a 7.5 is actually the perfect fit but I usually order a half size up, because I like to wear thicker socks . I usually wear a medium width boot. This boot is very narrow and was very hard to put on. Sadly, I have to return the boots because I think that ordering a half size larger would not have fixed the issue with the tightness on either side of my foot, it would've been just too long. I don't like it when a shoe makes my foot look long and narrow.
I did manage to get the boot on after a while, after the material warmed up from the cold. The size 8 was very cute on, the reddish brown color is very nice (I could've worn it with many outfits), I really liked the suede, and the shoe didn't feel too heavy. The boot was just too narrow to be comfortable.

These boots are super cute to look at, but I ordered my usual size 12 and cannot wear them for even an hour. They pinch my toes so badly. I have many pair of Sorels and thought these would just break in eventually. I hoped they would stretch out. They didn't. I would love to wear them, but they now sit at the back of my closet.

These shoes are very slippery in the snow here in Alaska we have huge snow falls and I have slipped a few times now since I bought these shoes I wish they would make them more grippy for the slippery snow.

These boots fit me narrow and smaller than my size 9. I'm not sure why, I have worn them so I'll be keeping them. I'm hoping the will feel better after breaking in.

I have 6 different pairs of Sorel boots/ shoes. I ordered these in my standard 8.5 size and didn't even think twice about trying them on since size I've never had an issue with size. I just tried them on and realized they are at least a size too small! Not sure if these are incorrectly marked or just poor quality. I called customer service as I was just outside of my return window and was told there was nothing they could do. What a disappointment that I am now stuck with these boots! I won't be ordering from Sorel anymore as the quality and customer service have completely gone down hill!

Cute and the size was great - I'm a 7.5 and ordered an 8. However, there is no arch support at all. I don't consider myself as someone with high arches, but when I put these on my whole foot collapsed and instant back pain. The soles are removable and would be great with insoles. I just didn't love them enough to go that route.

These fit well and were comfortable. Went up a half size but I always have to with boots so I think they're true to size overall. However, they are very tight around the ankle. Not so tight to not be able to get on- but I really don't care for the style. The model in the video indicated some room there, but she may have slender ankles.
