I would have given 5/5 stars except for the lack of traction on the bottom. I love the look of these, they're waterproof, you can easily wipe off dirt marks, and they're decently warm. I just returned from a trip to Tahoe and I was slipping excessively in the snow & on the sidewalks. I even fell over because of these shoes! My other friends had no issues walking on the snow with their shoes. I would suggest next model of Sorel chelsea boots they should invest in better snow traction.

These are the absolute perfect put-em-on-and-go boot. I live in the PNW, so comfortable, waterproof footwear is essential. These boots are not only totally waterproof, but also incredibly comfortable for everything from going to the store to taking the dog on a long walk in the rain/snow. I wasnt sure about the shape of the sole based on the online pictures but I took a risk and am SO glad I did. They are so cute, not at all odd looking, and are so incredibly lightweight. I truly cant say enough good things about these boots. I bought my normal size 12 in Sorel. I have a narrow foot with long toes and I was so glad the toe box stretched out to accommodate.

Very narrow, Im a 7.5, went with a 8. They are too small in the toe box. Must wear longer socks so the tops dont rub on your shins. Very cute and light weight. Easy to get on and off.

Right foot came in flawed with a 2cm dark mark on the toes. Apparently someone tried to erase that but was not successful. The boots are narrow and uncomfortable but cute and light.

The shoe was lightweight and attractive. It was tight on ankle bones and I knew it would cause blisters.

These boots are nice but I found them to be too narrow and I tried in a half size up and same issue. Also found the leather hard and stiff.

I was very happy with mine at first. It was fitted nicely for less than two week, but after wearing it for three weeks now, the shoes have expanded and my ankles are sore due to the lack of support. My feet started to swim inside the shoes. I have not worn them on any intense activities. Ive walked on them from home to work for about 2 miles a day for the past three weeks. I cant even imagine wearing them after a year with the rate that it is expanding and becoming a pain. Wish I could return.

This felt long and narrow. I originally ordered 1/2 size larger than normal for a boot, but it was too long. I tried sizing down 1/2 size to my normal size but it was just too tight and hard to slip on with socks.

Unfortunately these turned out too small for me. I usually am between an 8-9 and got an 8, so they likely just run on the smaller side. Specifically, my arch did not have enough room, which was an odd spot to feel tight. The bone on the top of my foot was uncomfortable because it was too tight.

They seem narrow. I dont think i could wear a thick sock with this boot. Or maybe they need to be warm in. :)

I think the style is cute, but I decided not to keep these. The insole is not comfortable and there is no arch support, and when I tried adding my own insole I found there was not enough depth in the shoe to fit a more supportive insole comfortably (my foot felt squeezed height-wise). I also agree with other reviews that the shoe fits small- I sized up a half size and it fit fine with just my tights on a no socks. With socks I would need a full size up and at that point I think they would feel clunky.

My wife loves these boots. They are her go to shoe for right now. She likes that the boots are a little water resistent. The sole is nice and doesnt need extra padding. She does like to wear long socks because it goes up past her ankle and rubs a little on her leg.

Really like the color of these boots. You can tell they are well made and are very durable. Id say you need somewhat of a narrow foot with them because I have a narrow foot and its designed to be a tight slide on. When I received them, they have some light scratches already, which was disappointing and leads me to think they can get scuffs easily. The rubber soles on bottom are thick. This makes the boot heavier than any other boot I own. The chunkier boot look also makes my feet appear larger than they are.

Im not much of a boot person, but when I saw this cute pair that I could just pull on (versus lacing up), I had to try them. Im glad I did - I have been totally satisfied with my pick. They go on easy enough, fit nicely and are water proof, which is always needed. Sizing is about spot on. Highly recommend

Sorel always produces high quality, fashionable and durable shoes. These boots are great for cold weather since they are incredibly warm. I am excited to have these for the wintertime, since I know that they are water resistant and warm enough to handle the cold. Ive spot cleaned them and they clean up very nicely. They are an overall great pair of boots to have in my closet!

Cute and comfortable until I walked around and injured my left arch. The right boot felt fine, but the left boot was so tight it was painful to wear and for over a week after. I’ll try to have it stretched a boot shop, otherwise can’t wear them.

I could not get my feet into these shoes. Additionally, they looked more like Timberland work boots than fashion boots. I have other boots from Sorel that I love (bought three pairs), but thumbs down on these.

I really, really wanted to like these boots. I probably have owned 20+ pairs of Sorels, and they are my favorite shoes, but these are a disappointment. First, they are hard, & don't bend when you walk - probably that's part of the quality and durability design, but after wearing them for a day, my feet hurt. Second, the soles are slippery on wet or smooth surfaces, and between that & the not bending, I have nearly fallen down several times. After only wearing them only three times, I'm done. I wish I could return them, but - because they are Sorels & I've lived in them for years & loved every pair - I did not keep the box or packaging.

So uncomfortable. Lots of pressure on the top of my foot - which is an unusual fit for me. Too stiff & tight on the ankle.

Unfortunately the color of the boot and the elastic r very different color. The basic shoe looks very low quality. I thought they would be water repellent and I haven't had an opportunity to test them but the material of the boot doesn't look like it will be.

These run very small and are very tight and hard to get on. I think I would have needed to order a full size bigger in order to fit. The color is similar to timberland boots.

These Chelsea boots are a cute popular style but they do run small if you plan to wear with a warm sock. No problems getting on or off. But the boots are quite heavy and, worst of all, they make my feet look enormous! I am usually an 8 but the 8s already look so big, I won't be keeping the 8.5 that I order either. Back they go.
