Customer Reviews SOREL Kinetic™ Impact Short Boot Waterproof

This is my second pair of these. I had been stalking the Sorel site to see if they'd make these again. And this year they did. I wear these to walk the dog in winter. They keep my feet dry and are comfortable. The tread also helps on icy surfaces. I normally wear a 7-7.5 (7.5 in athletic shoes and boots) but in some Sorels I wear an 8. I took an 8 here so I could use thick socks.

These feel amazing! Soft and cushiony and have fantastic arch support. They were a little generous with the sizing (I'm size 8) but I think with thicker socks, it will work out just fine. Can't wait to wear them!

So cute, but the place where the bottom of the zipper is has a flap on the inside and it rubs in the wrong spot. Disappointed.

These boots offered no support at all for my ankles - it was like wearing a pair of socks (with a great sole however).

There's an inside tab by the zipper that rubs.

The left boot has a defect in how the zipper is attached inside the boot because it rubs on the left ankle causing a bleeding wound…

there is no give by the zipper to get your foot in; poor design for a winter boot!

I originally bought a 7 based on reviews and other Sorels I own in size 7. For this boot, it felt loose as a non thick sock person so ordered a 6.5 and found it fit better, true to size.

Love it

I loved the look and fit of this boot. However, there was a piece of leather near the zipper that dug into my foot - would have cost a bit to have it removed.

These boots are excellent. I wore them every day in snow and 20 degree weather. Very comfortable and stylish and easy off and on. Other reviews mentioned the tab inside the zipper and said it was annoying and rubbed. I worried about that when I first put them on, but it was never a problem. Highly recommend.

Like everyone says, there's a thing that rubs on the inside with the zipper. I'm a 6.5 / 7 and the 6.5 were way small on me.

Super cute looking, and warm and snuggly. If you need arch support (or even ankle stabilization), though, these aren't the boots for you, as the fabric is very soft/flexible, and don't offer support.

loved these boots - went to Canada on spring break and they were great in the snow and weather!

I love these boots. I had a pair just like them from a few years ago and I was looking to get another pair last year but they didn’t make them. Thankfully they returned this year. I find that Sorel boots on me typically run a half size small so I ordered up a half size and they fit great.

Just about 1/2 size too big. Tip of boot kind of hits leg at an uncomfortable spot. Really cute boot- wish they would’ve worked out!

The inside zipper rubbed against my ankle. Too bad, otherwise really liked them.

Love the show except that the fabric keeping the zipper from my foot rubs uncomfortably

so tight along my forefoot - so not great to wear in winter with thicker socks - as the thin ones didnt even fit

These are so cute and nice quality. I have other Sorels I wear alot. I was hoping to replace insole w/fleece arch support and wear like UGGs. Unfortunately, like others have mentioned there is a tag thing at the base of the zipper and it rubs the inside of my foot. Not going to get better and to remove would destroy ability to return. So back the go. So disappointing.

I am returning these because they were not wide enough for me.

Felt cheap. Not impressed with the quality, craftsmanship or reliability. Very disappointed.

Feels great but the zipper attachment inside is sticking into my ankle and it hurts
