I ordered these boots at the end of the season (i.e. for a great price) and have been very happy with them. They are super warm and waterproof, and as someone with always cold feet I've found them to be awesome in both rain and snow (if you don't suffer from cold feet you might find them too warm outside of winter). I really like both the look and feel, but this is definitely a big, somewhat heavy winter boot so if that's not what you're looking for these aren't for you. Word to the wise: use the Sorel size chart!!! These run big compared to other shoes (I'm sometimes a 10, but a 9 in these), but the Sorel size chart is spot on and gives you a comfortable fit. Sorels that are too big are miserable in my experience. I totally recommend.

Purchased these for my girlfriend, she loves them! They're a good middle ground boot from sorel, not as hefty as some of the taller boots that sorel makes, but still work great for those surprise snow storms in the city! They do run a bit large, if you're between sizes... stay on the lower end.

These boots are awesome! I ordered a half size down after reading other reviews and I think it was a good call, they fit perfectly! I've worn them so many times this winter in Park City and have literally walked through puddles and my feet were still completely dry! The only complaint I have on these boots is that the liners come out with my feet every time I take them off. It's become something that I'm used to now, but its definitely and extra step to get them on/off.

I love this specific model of Sorels because they are not too bulky, yet they are still SO warm. Definitely size down! I usually wear a 6.5-7 so I went with 6.5 to go on the smaller side, but I probably should have went with 6. I kept the 6, they are a tad loose, but with thicker socks they are fine. I will also note, the width of the boot is not larger, just the length. The width is still hugging my foot just great.

Purchased for my wife. She loves them.
Only complaint is that the liner comes out with her foot each time she takes them off.

These sorels are warm, sturdy and weather resistant and they look great. my only complaint would be the detachable inner lining, which makes getting in and out of the boot a bit of a process, but one that will hopefully improve as the boots are worn in. Kept me warm in single digits.

I ordered these boots and was really worried about the fit because everyone said they ran huge! I normally get a half size bigger in boots than my shoe size but reading other reviews I got my exact size. They fit perfectly and there is room for a thick sock. The fleece lining is so comfortable and warm. I did not feel like these were bulky at all. Maybe wider than normal shoes but sturdy for snow! 10/10 would buy again.

I bought these for my girlfriend and she loves them. She has many other sorel boots too and they are great for cold snowy days.

They are SO warm and stylish. I used to have the older version of Sorels but they were heavy and clunky. These are a little more light weight and not as bulky. Super warm, great for freezing temps. LOVE THEM!

These boots look so cool....mine are the special edition blue with pink shoe strings. However....it takes a special effort to get into these boots. The felt liner will make you cuss as you try and try to get the boots on (this is not an exaggeration). When you finally get the bleppity boots on...they feel nice....but not like boots for the outdoors. I may wear them for the rain, for a dinner party....not for the snow.....and never my first choice out the door. They are going to be gifted very soon....

I love these for all around use. On a snow day before, my Joan of Artic boots were just too bulky to just run to the store real quick. These are a better option for running around town. I sized down a half size and they are perfect with any socks. The liner is just enough to keep warm without feeling like your wearing a space suit.

I needed a pair of boots that would work when its cold, slushy, snowy and/or raining outside. These boots are perfect! I've used them for walking around town and riding my bike on cold rainy days. The liners are warm, the boots hold up to crap weather, and over all I'm pretty stoked about them. They'll definitely last for many winters to come.

I actually bought these boots in early September for fear of them selling out for winter, and so far I've only used them for a mild-weather weekend at my family's ranch (which sits at 10,000ft). I got my usual size 8, I have wide feet and figured I wouldn't need to size down but to be honest I kind of wish I had. I've also tried them with the really thick socks I use for hunting season and they fit much better than with regular socks, so I didn't return. I can already tell how incredibly warm and durable they'll be for years to come (I mean come on, they're the classic Sorel boot, made to beat up a little) and am so glad I made this purchase. But don't ignore the size chart, size down by at least half!

And, say "yes" to these boots! Ya know, sometimes, you just don't want to have to think about if your feet are going to be cold, or if you're going to have to walk around that slushy puddle because you chose to wear a pair of Toms in the middle of February. So, my solution, throw on a pair of these bad boys, and your feet are ready for it all...sledding, ice fishing, caroling, walking to the grocery store, and any other venture you may need to conquer during those frigid winter months. I love the 1964 look, the leather ones are super cool, but the CSV provided the waterproofing I needed. And, I am so down with the fact that you can remove the liners to warm them up or dry them off in front of the fireplace in case you really put them through the wringer that day! When in doubt, take the Sorel's out.

Bought these as a gift for my girlfriend. She wanted a boot that she could wear up to the mountains before putting her ski boots on. I was a little skeptical because of the reviews of being very clunky. She previously had the caribou's and took them back because they ran very large. She wears a 7.5 and they seem to fit her perfectly. I don't think you are going to find a snow boot that isn't a little clunky.

Based on reviews, I ordered my normal boot size, 8. The boots were too big. My foot measures 24.5 cm. I re-ordered a 7.5 (Sorel chart) and they fit great with room to wiggle my toes & room to wear thick socks. Cute & practical for cold wet weather

I'm a 7.5 on the dot, and these were perfect out of the box at 7.5. I have capsulitis in my right big toe (since I felt like ruing a perfectly good toe a few years back), and even with my obnoxious bunion, the fit is good because the toe box is generous and roomy. Because these are on the bulky side, I would not encourage sizing up - try your true size first, or if you're really panicked, order your true size and the next half size up, knowing one will be returned.

I tried wearing average thickness wool socks with them, and while the left food felt agreeable, the right foot did not, so I've been wearing the low profile ultrathin Smartwool PhD socks with them. This works because the boot is lined with this incredibly warm wool sock insert. Actually, the regular shin-height wool socks were overkill for this very reason, and my feet were roasting. The black/fossil is fantastic, and the wool liner is charcoal grey. I'll be wearing them for snowshoeing in a few weeks, but I wear them around town too on wet and soggy southern Oregon winter days (just what we've needed for the last 3 years, woot!)

I went ahead & went with going "smaller in size" with this boot based on everyone's feedback & boot was way too tight-I vary from an 8-8.5-9 so went ahead with the 8 & had to return it for a bigger size which sucked. Super cute though

For me, these boots were over the top clunky. Like clown shoes almost. There's no doubt they would have kept my feet warm and dry, but I just couldn't deal with the heftiness. And since I live in Texas where we experience milder winters, I went with the Merrell Decora Chant, which feels a lot more comfortable and streamlined.

Side Note: I'm a very TTS 6.5, but sized down to a 6. The 6 felt too tight and definitely would not have allowed for thick winter socks.

I am not very excited about winter boots, but these boots are SO cute! I ordered the stone blue/black color and I love the pop of coral with the laces and line around the edge. Typically, I wear a size 9, but I ordered these boots in an 8.5 because most reviews said that the boots ran a little big. I should have ordered the 9. The 8.5 size was snug - and they wouldn't have fit well at all had I been trying them on with thicker socks. So I will send the 8.5 back and get a 9. I am excited to get them in the right size.
