I saw a lady wearing the coolest looking boots and I just openly asked her the maker-yep=SOREL- so I ordered these! Boom- lightweight, cool looking= but warm feeling, comfy and on sale! SCORE!

These are comfortable for walking the dog in the Michigan cold and wet weather. Purchased to keep my feet from getting wet while walking in inclement weather.

Obsessed with these boots! I'm pregnant and really wanted something I could slip on and off easily while still remaining warm. Super lightweight too. I don't think they're too narrow or wide, just the right size.

They keep my usually cold feet warm, good grip on ice and look good!

I’m usually size 8 1/2. Ordered a 8 1/2 and a 9 so I could compare. 9 is perfect. Love these in Stone/Green.

I LOVE the way these shoes look. They are stylish and they feel great to the touch. As I was pulling them out of the box I was praying that they would fit perfectly because, again, I LOVE the way they look. Sadly, even though I did order a half size larger, which was recommended, they were just a smidge too tight in the area of my bunions. I can't wear wide shoes since they fall off my heels. If you don't have bunions - this shoe is FABULOUS!!!

I really wanted to exchange but could not find that option - I think a size 8 would have been perfect. This size would not allow me to wear socks.

Usually wear a size 6.5 in shoes and 7 fit perfectly. So you may want to size up. Great boots.

I normally wear an 8 in a boot, but got an 8-1/2 based on comments from others. The extra half size was definitely needed. Boot looks stylish and is comfortable, but I haven't had an oppotunity to test how well the waterproofing works.

I actually LOVE the look and feel of these shoes. Seriously. As I pulled them out of the box I was praying that they would fit great. Which they ALMOST did. They were just a little too narrow at the area where my bunions are which quickly made them uncomfortable in that area. I don't normally have this problem since I choose shoes that I'm fairly certain will lean toward the "comfort" side of things. I can't wear a wide because then they are too wide in the heel. Anyway, I HATE having to return these!

I bought these boots in anticipation of cold weather but haven't tested them outside yet. I had to return the first pair because they were too small; I ended up ordering a full size larger. They take a few days to break in but I'm hopeful they will be what I want.

The Explorer was the winner of the boots I ordered. I bought these for when the snow isn’t very deep, but it’s still cold.
Lots of insulation, attractively showing around the collar and under the laces. I like the sage green for a change from brown and black.
The lining is sort of loose, and one has to pull it up as the foot is going down in to the boot. Willing to fuss with it , as these were on sale.
Zappos as usual so fast and dependable.

Very cute and comfortable. The reviews said to size up, which I did. The 8 1/2 was too big, so I ordered the 8. It is a tiny bit snug, but I am confident they will stretch.

Got these just in time for a big Denver snow storm - they kept my feet warm and dry through many hours of shoveling and walking the dog!

The boots are made of a very soft material and it's hard to believe that they are waterproof. The boot is a little wide in the heel, but overall is still a great fit. They go with everything and will be perfect for the winter.

While the winter season hasn’t yet set in, so I can’t speak to that angle, I have little doubts about their function. They’re Sorels, which have never let me down. What I can say is that these are CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!!! They feel nice, comfy, and sturdy with good grip/traction but again, I haven’t been able to weather test for sure yet. No regrets at all on this purchase and I say buy them if you’re considering. They certainly have my heart already :-)

I ordered a half a size up. Love the shoes. Like walking on clouds. Super comfortable and kept my feet warm. Just wish the color was a bit darker, but am very happy with purchase

I needed waterproof lightweight AND comfortable walking boots for my trip to Ireland in October. After doing a bunch of research, I noticed SOREL kept coming up. I find that many waterproof boots are uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time, esp. when walking long distances as I'm used to getting 16,000-25,000 steps/day come rain or shine. All of the reviews for this boot kept talking about how comfy these shoes are and how well they hold up to the weather. I am THRILLED I decided to go for it. They live up to ALL the hype as far as comfortably, fit, easy to get on and off without a lot of fuss like other laced boots, grip and warmth. I can't speak to dryness as I haven't worn them in the rain or snow yet, but I'm sure they will be fine. They do run true to size, however if you use an insert like Dr Scholls, you should go up a half size. I'm normally a 10, but brought the 10.5 to make sure I had room enough for my Plantar Fasciitis insert and a good sock. The 10.5 is a perfect fit. I also love how stylish these are- can be dressed up or down. If you're on the fence about this purchase don't wait a moment longer.
