I am so happy with these boots! The color is beautiful and they are incredibly comfortable. I was able to wear them with wool socks and they still had enough room (with my normal shoe size). I tried them with ankle socks and they rubbed my skin too much at the top of boot so I opted for socks that went above or just to the top of boot.

Liked the style of these boots but will have to return because ran large. I wear a 7 new balance run shoe, 7 timberland boot, and 7 clarks boot. My foot is on the narrow side. The 7 in these slipped too much in the heel.

These boots are perfect!! They are comfy and keep my feet warm and dry. The zippers work great - they dont stick at all.

Sorel needs to focus more on comfort over style. I have so many pairs of Sorels from over the years, but I cant find a pair over the past 2 years that matches the comfort. These shoes have minimal cushion, no arch support and uncomfortably push down on the top of my foot. I have petite feet and have never had a boot push down on me like that beforeand Im used to stiff ski boots! I tried to talk myself into keeping them to break them in, but the pain wasnt worth it.

Love the style and design. These are comfortable, and best used with thick socks; however long walks may not be advised (didn't work for me). I walked around 2 miles during the day at work and heel bine and feet felt tired and uncomfortable at the end of the day. Overall, these are good looking boots!

Excellent boots. Great neutral gray color. The boot shaft is a little tight but hopefully with wear it will stretch a bit and relax. Very pleased with this online purchase. Great for PNW weather!

I wanted to like these, but I ended up returning them. They werent as comfortable as a different style and I couldnt see myself enjoying them on my feet all day. They might be the type that just needs to be broke in to be comfortable, but I wasnt willing to risk it at this price point.

These were too narrow, much narrower than any other pair of Sorels I have. I would have returned them to find a pair appropriately sized. However, will be my last pair because of the customer service experience I had. I used an online coupon to buy these, and afterward Sorel adjusted my payment to full price without notifying me, and didnt respond to my customer service inquiries.
Disappointed,

I had to exchange them for the Highline Chelsea in a size 11. The Emelie in the 10.5 was way too narrow. I have a hard time fitting Sorel boots because they cause me pain. I wish they would combine comfort with style.

My husband gave me these boots for my birthday and I loved. I got in black. It's lightweight, super comfortable and make my feet look smaller. I wear a size 8 and I received a size 8. It fits true to size to me. I am very happy with my gift!

Daughter shopping for boots on an afternoon wearing typical socks. She liked the style of this black boot, but felt the toe box was too big and the heel was loose. She is a typical 8.5 medium but sometimes her heels need less space and her arch more support. She had great success with another boot ordered, the Born Cove.
I'd also recommend:

Size seemd true to size for a 8.5 M. Overall I did not like the boot. It was not comfortable had no arch support, and was way too stiff for me. It also looked very clunky on and felt heavy. The stiff nubuck appeared as if it would scratch/scuff easily. I don't live where it snows so I just wanted a nice pair of black ankle boots. What I did like about the boot was that it was plain. No distracting buckle, straps or other embellishments.

Very cute shoe but incredibly noisy while walking around. Every single step made a loud squeeking noise. For this reason, they were returned.

Holy cow this was smaller than I expected. I’m usually an 8.5 so I sized up to 9, but it fit like a size 8. Even with the zipper down I couldn’t get my foot in without major force. Eventually I got it in and it was just too small.
On the plus side, the style was cute and I felt feminine but practical in these and like they would be weatherproof and grippy. Pretty much zero insulation so better for fall or spring v. Winter unless you wear thick socks and size up a full size.
Material scuffs really really easily. SOREL needs to examine the quality of their leather uppers to prevent this.

These boots look great, very fashionable. The leather is quite hard, which makes putting the boots on a little difficult. Also they are a bit narrow, coupled with the hard leather means they will take a while to break in.

I planned on wearing these boots on a walking trip in Ireland. They were true to size but also rubbed my heels, even while wearing thick socks. It is important that I wear some very comfortable waterproofs boots on my trip. These were not comfortable due to the heel slippage. The green wasn't my favorite color either.

Boots are pretty good stylish, they are just narrow and don’t stretch that much. Leather is not that soft but they’re ok for walking.
