Love them but too bulky. Also wish they had a black sole.

The boots look good, fit well. I wish they had an arch. I kept them but I have a 4 out of 5 stars because there is little support.

I have narrow feet but wanted to try these shoes as finding something that is not stiff and light weight and narrow is almost impossible. I put a thick inter sole in and wear heavy wool socks and they fit my feet pretty well. Keeps my feet nice and warm even in the cold wind. (my feet are ALWAYS cold as I have raynaud's in my hands and feet). Good quality and good traction.

These are super cute! I am a bit short however, so the height sat just a tad too tall for me, compared to the other style I bought (also Sorel) and love. I love the touch of sparkle in the front of the boot, they feel like magic winter boots!

Comfortable shoe, but looser across the top of foot than other boots. A little painful to get tightened and then loosened every time on and off. Looks good though and best thing is the comfort.

I love these and they are comfortable but they are just too big/wide in the ankles. The 7 was a little snug on me and the 7.5 fit great in the length but was just way too big/roomy/wide through the ankle. I do have super skinny legs but other boots just fit better which is a bummer because they are a great price and such great color options. I love the olive with grey.

I have other Sorel boots but these were too narrow. I wanted to love them because they are great looking but they fit like a size Narrow would fit.

First off, they're definitely stylish. However, they run a bit small—I had to go half a size up because they were tight lengthwise. But even then, they're pretty narrow. Design-wise, they're cute and seem to go with a lot of different outfits, which I love. But, and it's a big but, they're not the best when it comes to fit around the ankle. They feel loose and sloppy, which means they're not the most stable or comfortable if you're planning on doing a lot of walking. And I found they don't offer much support, which was a letdown for me since I need that in a boot.

I went off of other reviews saying this boot ran small and narrow but that absolutely wasn't the case for me. I'm typically a size 9 with a narrow foot so I sized up to a 9.5 and I was swimming in these. I also didn't realize that the top fabric on the boot has some shimmer to it, I thought it was solid suede like other colors. I am going to return these boots and look for a different style. If you're in between sizes I would size up a 1/2 size but otherwise go with your typical shoe size

As others have commented, these are on the narrow size, especially in the toe box, even when I went a half size up. Yet it also had to pull the laces very tight to get them to fit properly around my ankle. I wanted to like them, but they didn't work for my foot. Very little arch support but they have removable insoles so you can add your own.

these boots are cute, but the sizing runs VERY small in both length and width. Even sizing up didn't help with the width issue.

Feels very comfortable when you first put it on. However, after walking a while with them, there are certain pressure points that do not feel good on the feet.

I asked for these in black for Christmas thinking they were the same Joan Explorer boot that I got a few years ago in grey. I love the grey ones, they are so comfy. I'm disappointed in these black ones that are a stiffer boot with less fur trim that cut into my calves leaving them feeling sore. If you're looking for a Joan Explorer boot, the Next is Not your best choice for comfort. Go with the original design.

I wanted a waterproof, lightweight and warm boot for cold weather walks. This is it!

Sizing is larger than previous versions so if you have ordered in the past size down. I ordered a 8.5 like my other two pairs and it was way too big. Held them sole to sole and it was definitely longer and wider. Going to try an 8 and see if that is better.

I was excited to get these for Chicago’s cold cold cold days They are certainly cute. But so so wide. And people commented that they were narrow. I was sadly surprised After wearing them for a while my feet sloshed around in them and actually didn’t provide the warmth I expected. I would have returned the but needed them on a bitter cold night

Did not like the "sparkly" toe material - other wise they were super cute and comfortable

Got the grey pair as a gift but the glitter is causing so much itchiness and irritation when I wear them. I don't envision the other colors to have the same problem. Just be aware about the grey pair. This gift is going to be useless for me. So disappointing

I definitely did not see any glitter on the boots in the online pictures. The front of the shoe is covered in silver glitter. Ruins the boot in my opinion. Unfortunately my daughter took the tags off so I cannot return them.
