Customer Reviews SOREL Kinetic™ Impact II Mule

These are going to be my go-to spring shoes. They're sharp enough for (fairly casual) work settings, and comfortable enough to walk in all day.

Sorel sizing can be a little wonky but these fit perfectly — I'm an 8.5 medium width. Why 4 stars? The backs gave out. Would be great to make these without leather, too. Possible, Sorel?

Love the style. Shoes were a bit narrow but they stretched out.

Fit was loose and it fit like a fit flop..was disappointed but alas Sorel is a well constructed brand with rave reviews..Sorel runs to large for me as I have a Narrow AA foot. This Sorel's were very sporty and will work for many!

The shoe is beautiful, but I found my true size 7 was a little too short.

Love the way this shoe looks and, for the most part, how it fits. I ordered a 1/2 size larger based on reviews, which seemed perfect until I started walking around. The heel kept flopping, which was annoying. Having said that, I don't think a smaller size would work given where my toes were in the shoe. Disappointed as I really like the way this shoe looks, and I love the color (bleached ceramic and chalk). Back they go.

Narrow toe box. I have a slender foot, but can usually wear a medium width shoe. I ordered both the 7.5 and the 8. The 8 slipped on my heel. The 7.5 fit my heel, but was then too tight in the toe box. The shoe itself is comfortable and has moderate arch support. The insole could be changed out to an orthotic if needed. My search for a slip on or mule sneaker continues!

I really wanted to love these and was super excited thanks to the great Zappos reviews but this sorel slip-on was too large in the heel area and they act like Flip flops when I walk in them. Boo hoo as they are well made and cool in design. For other readers I am a 9.5 Narrow and going down a size would hav been too short and tight.

I really like these mules. I wear a size 10 and the size 10 fit me in both the lilac/zebra and the black ones even though Zappos suggested I get a 10.5 (probably because in the past Sorrel was notoriously narrow for me). However, 10.5 in this shoe would have been way too big. The heel slips a bit on both pair, but not enough to cause a problem. They do seem to have good support, but I need more arch support to avoid a plantar fasciitis flair up, so I replaced the insoles with Aetrex slim inserts, which fit in the mules without making them tight. I did have a problem with the left shoe on the black pair having a squeak. The right shoe doesn't do that, nor do the lilac/zebra ones, so I'm going to exchange for another pair. These mules are great. I'm glad I purchased them.

I my head, the soles of these shoes would be slightly "Squishy", this adding a cushioning effect. They were not/did not. They seem well-made, and I love the design, but they are not for me.

Hope this helps others with sizing, though based on current reviews I suspect Sorel has the same problem as other brands of terrible quality control and consistency in sizing. Same shoes are being sold at lower quality but at same price point. I have a long narrow foot, technically a 10.5 narrow, with a low arches. I typically wear 11N in athletic/running shoes (42 Euro) and 10B in street shoes (41 Euro). These fit me well in 10.5. They look pretty good, and they meet my need for slip-on shoes post back surgery. But they are not cushiony as you might expect from the soles. If you have wide feet or a high arch these likely won't fit without sizing up.
