They were cute and seemed like good quality, but the stiff material bruised my ankle right out of the box. Sent them back.

New design doesn't fit like the old Emelie boots I've worn for years. The shaft is taller and smaller/tighter so they rub on my lower calf and bruise my legs. Miss the old ones. The quality appears fine but I cant wear them so who knows.

This boot was too difficult to get on and off to want to keep. Otherwise, they are cute and comfortable.

Sorel made a similar boot last year in a wide and it fit perfectly. Thought I'd try this medium width shoe but its a no go for me.

I read the reviews and saw this boot has a tight fit. I ordered a half a size larger but they still don't work for me. I do not have wide feet and often I can purchase and wear items that others say are narrow without a problem. These are simply too tight for my comfort. I can wear them but not comfortably. I thought about giving them time to break in but there are other brands of this style that are water proof and fit better right out of the box. At this price, it's not worth the chance that they'll still be uncomfortable after some wear. I returned them and did not purchase another size. I'll keep looking for a similar style that fits better.

They seem like well made boots and the foot size seemed right but I could not slip my foot into the boot. It required much tugging - too much work for a slip on style. I have no idea if they were a proper fit since I didn't get my foot all the way in the boot.

The heel of the boot is fake. It's just a glued on layered leather strip. It's just rubber heel.

I'm so bummed. I have 3 other pairs of Sorel boots and have never had an issue (size and fit was always great). Ordered these with a Zappos gift card and wore them one time. They are the most uncomforable shoe I've ever worn! The outside of my ankle bones rubs on the shoe so bad on both feet. They're absolutely un-wearable. Sorel makes plenty of comfortable shoes, don't buy these!

I love these boots so much. I like how they make me feel—cute without trying—and I like how they feel on my feet. I can wear them to work when I’m on my feet all day and I like to wear them out more than many of my dressier shoes, especially for colder weather date nights.

The SOREL Emelie III Chelsea Waterproof boots are excellent. Top grade leather, craftsmanship and comfort. I have tried the other boots like this... Ariat etc and they do not come even close in comfort, leather or craftsmanship. The Emelie ran true to size with great support. It is wonderful to have a true waterproof dress boot with a great sole for inclement weather. Do not hesitate, you will be so happy you purchased these!

Very nice looking. I will need to have on socks with a good top because the edge of boot top would make my skin sore. That is ok there is room for a good sock.

I have the olive ones from last fall. My favorite boots last year! These are a steal & these are a very rich shade of tan. So glad I was able to get my hands on these before they sold out!

These boots are comfortable and true to size. They kept my feet dry on a rainy day. I love the look with jeans .

These have become my favorite boot. With a painful period of plantar fasciitis, I suffered through wearing Blundstones - even with inserts, they were never comfortable. I have a high arch and most Chelsea styles aren't easy for me to get on and off. I wore these all day right out of the box. I originally bought these for yard work and rainy days but they were so comfortable, I now own 3 different colors. My daily wear is either HOKA or Oofos, trying to keep a PF flair from happening. These boots are fantastic.

In shoes I consistently wear a European size 37 and was reluctant to go with Zappos recommended size 7 for these boots, but I’m glad I did. The size 7 fits perfectly. With no zipper, I recommend using a shoe horn since they don’t have a zipper. I purposely stayed away from styles with a zipper due to arthritis.

These boots are true to size and comfortable right out of the box. I wore them for a long day of walking without breaking them in, and they were almost as comfortable as my running shoes. Style-wise, I wish the sole was a bit thicker or more of a lug sole so I could wear them with longer pants, but then they probably wouldn’t be as comfortable.
