Sorel Cumberland Boot - Women's

I have a pair of monstrous Sorel boots that i purchased in 1993 and they are still fabulous, but a little too cumbersome. SO i purchased these cute boots because I trust Sorel to produce quality products and i liked them.
Traction is great!
Warm and toasty -only if you are in motion. NOT good when standing for long periods of time outdoors.
FIT..... Really peculiar. I can not get the boot tight enough to provide any support around my ankle. I've worn mountain socks layered and still, the boots can not be fastened tightly.

I got these boots to wear in Jackson Hole. I was concerned about sizing, however these boots fit true to size. They are also very stylish and cute; not the bulky, oversized winter boots that I am used to seeing. I would recommend these.

Living in Crested Butte, CO, these boots are indispensable. I have been wearing them almost everyday lately as we have been getting feet and feet of snow (no complaints here!!!). I bought them a half size too small and was glad I did as they packed out a bit. They were very comfortable from the start with almost no break in period. I would recommend these boots to anyone!!

We just moved from NC to Germany and so I needed to stock up on winter gear and boots were first on the list. I did some on-line "window" shopping and read lots of reviews on these boots and decided to try them. Well, they were worth the effort! I wore them today for the first time and it was a pretty good test since we got snow last night and it's in the upper 20's and low 30's. They kept my feet toasty warm! They are unbelievably comfortable! (and I always have cold and sort feet) They look great and are not bulky or heavy to walk in. I got them in green and love the color. I can't wait to try them out when we go sledding, skiing and to Prague over Christmas. I highly, highly recommend them! And the price is a steal!

I ordered these boots in an attempt to embrace winter in Wisconsin. After living in Siberia (for real!) and wearing Sorels, I knew Sorel to be a dependable brand. The Cumberland boots are true-to-size, very comfortable, waterproof, and toasty! I plan on snow shoeing, hiking, and just being outside as much as possible in them! Another positive - I've gotten tons of compliments on their "cuteness." They look better than similar-type North Face boots, and they're cheaper. Yippeeee!

Based on all of the (mostly very positive) reviews on this site, and the excellent price, I bought these boots without ever seeing them in real life and never having tried them on. I got them in Black, Size 8.

Things I like:
- very durable
- black color hides the dirt
- fit is true to size

Things I don't love:
- my ankles are a bit narrow, but that's never been a problem with boots before. The laces on these boots don't tie up tight enough to get a snug fit at the ankle, so it feels a bit like I'm wearing galoshes when I walk with them
- no padding on the inside of the foot area, so the top of your toes are rubbing up against hard rubber
- I didn't really think of it when I looked at pictures on the website but I often wear these with black pants, so they end up looking a bit like Santa Claus boots...not such a great look for a female professional :)

I got these boots for a ski trip to Colorado last Christimas. The boots look really cute and are very comfortable, but, after a while outside in the snow, my feet started to frozen. They are waterproof, but they get cold in the inside, so, not recommended for a long time in the snow at lower temperatures.

This boots look great if I could only get my high arch into them. Without a zipper or laced closing there is no way I can get my foot into them. They will be returned...high arches beware!

Not knowing what to expect from the cold Cambridge weather, I got this boots and I have to say I am more than pleased with them. Warm and comfy !! maybe a bit heavy for long walks, but overall great boots !

I love these boots! Finally a pair of boots that keep my feet dry and cozy warm.

Absolutely love my new Sorels. Finally a boot that keeps my feet from freezing!

Let me add that the boot is true to size. I ordered the size I normally wear (7.5) and they fit great. I also have a narrow foot and the fit is fine. I could even go with heavy socks and they'd be OK.

These boots are wonderful! They're super comfortable and incredibly lightweight. I carried them on the airplane to Colorado in my backpack without breaking my back! The soles are rubber and (like all Sorels) perform wonderfully in the snow. I walked around in these boots in Breckenridge, CO all day (it was snowing out too), and they kept my feet warm, dry, and comfortable. I was hoping to find a good snow boot that is not made out of leather, and these surpassed my every expectation. I typically wear between 7.5 and 8 shoe, and after reading other reviews that said these boots fit large, I purchased a size 7.5, and they fit perfectly with heavy socks. These are going to be the only snow boots I buy and wear from now on.

These boots are warm and comfortable. They fit true to size. My toes get cold very easily and I needed a pair of boots that would keep them warm and dry in northern Minnesota - these do the trick. The only drawback is the lacing; it is sometimes a challenge to lace them up tightly as the laces slip out of the top rings easily.

Great boots. I ordered them for a ski trip to CO and wore them any time I wasn't in a ski boot. My feet stayed warm and dry on a 5 hour hike in the snow in 20-degree weather, too. The boots are super comfy for walking and look really stylish as well. I'm so glad I got them and plan to use them for years to come.

This boot fits perfectly, (true to size) is warm, looks great, and is very versatile. It was a great purchase, and I absolutely love them. They are easy to put on and take off, even with the laces tied.

This is a great boot! Lightweight to wear and keeps the toes very warm. Extremely happy with these as when its icy outside, the boot does not slip under you. Comfortable, fit is true to size. Even can where a thicker sock. I was not familiar wearing Sorel brand boots,so was aprehensive but when the boot arrived my husband said Sorel boots are the best - he wears the brand in Antarica. Go figure. Great buy and very happy

I love these boots! I love the green color - kind of like an olive green. They are super warm and comfortable and USEFUL. I've worn them a bunch in the snow and they have great traction.

I bought these boots based on all of the positive feedback on the website (I had never seen them in person or tried on). They are REALLY cute and are exactly what I was looking for. The are true to size. I would agree w/ the one comment on lacing up - they don't cinch tightly, so feel a little loose. I tend to tuck my jeans into them, so won't be a huge problem, but just an fyi.

I thought the boots were wonderful. They definately looked warm & felt comfty -- but was unable to use them as I found THEY DO run large, at least for me.

I wear an 8 in all my shoes -- but I read various things about them. When placed order I questioned this & was told they were true to size.

I had to return them as they were too big. Even with thick socks & even 2 pair of socks & even w/stockings w/2 pair socks they were still too big.

I didn't take the risk of going out in the snow w/them or down the hill or anything as I didn't want to get hurt w/them being bulky --

BUT other than that I thought they were ok.

Have to admit the return service area is wonderful. Had a hard time & had to use the phone service & the person was WONDERFUL!! I wasn't able to print out the 6.99 return label & had to ship it via USPS which cost me more -- but Now I am just waiting for them to receive them & get my refund -- which they said should have no problem in getting my cc refunded correctly.

Thanks for letting me be honest with you & everyone!

I bought these and am now really looking forward to some time in the snow with my kids! Super comfy, seem true to size. I did order another pair of Cumberlands where one shoe was looser than the other, but this pair is fine on both feet. I'm guessing this was a fluke in the manufacturing. Seem warm and very comfy, can't comment on how warm/dry they are in feet of snow, but will do so after our trip.

I first bought a pair of Sorels because my dog ate my winter boots and I needed a pair that she couldn't chew. They utterly blew me away with their warmth and comfort, and my dog couldn't eat them! I have since bought them for my daughter in NY who walks dogs. She loves them!
For the money, they are an excellent investment.

My wife bought this boot for our sled and hike trip and she really loves it. It was comfortable enough to wear all day, it kept her warm AND she liked how it looked.

Love these boots! They are warm and very comfortable. Bought a pair for myself and my mom!

The good fairy brought these boots to be for Christmas this year and not a moment too soon! Its has been cold and snowy and my kids have been hankering to nail me with a snowball but poor mama couldn't go out to play because of a lack of boots... no longer! These have become a staple of my winter wardrobe - comfortable enough to do housework in and warm and dry enough to romp in the snow with the kids. They are light, they are warm (big deal for a cold hater like me), and they keep my tootsies dry as a bone. Can't say anything but, get some!

I looked everywhere for some nice warm winter boots. When I came across backcountry.com, they had the boots in my size, and the customer service made this purchase even better! Great customer service, and these boots are awesome. Very warm, and they keep your feet dry. I've always heard great things about Sorel, now I've got my own pair.

Very Happy and i'll be back, i've got some family members who want these now too.

I bought these boots mostly to trek around the large, cold, and snowy UW-Madison campus and I can say that there has not been a day in the past two weeks when I have said: Uhh! I hate having to wear my snow boots! I love these boots. They are warm and water resistant (unlike the UGGs that are so popular right now) and don't look horrible either. I can make it through an eight hour days of classes and my feet do not hurt at then end of the day either: definitely a plus. These boots are not heavy to walk in like some heavy-duty boots are.

Great buy-I would do it again.
