SOREL

Kinetic Short Boot - Women's

Two broken zippers!

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Size Bought:

9

I’m amazed these got such good reviews! I liked the boots a lot until both zipper pulls snapped off and the stitching started coming out around the zippers. Since they were over a year old, not covered by warranty. The Sorel customer rep said that I should go to a shoe repair shop and have the zippers replaced. This would cost half as much as the boot price. Apparently, it is acceptable to Sorel if boots only last one year. It’s very unfortunate, as I love the Sorel styles and the wavy sole, but I’m very hesitant to buy another boot from them with this type of quality. I have worked for Timberland and other outdoor companies and they stood behind the quality of their boots better than this. They test all their zippers and components for strength and longevity.

Adore the soles, but uppers are schlumpy

I am seriously in love with Sorel's Kinetic soles. No other shoe company makes cool, corrugated soles like this. Love the contrasting color of the sole and the bottom. These would have been my third pair of Kinetics, but sadly, the uppers are lacking in style. They look rather shapeless and are too loose around my ankles. Sorel, if you're listening, please make more Kinetic soles with FITTED ankle booties. Zippers or lace-ups are great as long as they are tailored to the ankle. Also, FWIW, this line is too narrow in the toe box so I always have to go a half size up, which contributes to the problem.

Love these so much!

My a hairstylist and these are all I wore This fall/winter! My feet are spoiled! All day long standing in these and my feet never hurt! Best shoe I found!

Have worn them the entire winter

Love them. I sized up from 5.5 to 6, fit perfectly. Very light weight, warm, easy to walk.

Great comfy casual boot

I bought these a few months ago and love the comfort and warmth on my ankles. Feels like a sneaker and I’ve received many compliments. My only regret was not sizing up a half size. I got my true size and at first they felt a bit narrow. But over time they relaxed. I still can’t wear a thick sock with them which I normally don’t any way. But if you do like to wear a thicker sock in the winter, then I would size up. I haven’t had a chance to wear them in rain or snow so can’t speak to how they will hold up under those conditions.

sizing

I bought the size I have in sneakers and the short boot was too small. Love everything else about the boot!

The most comfortable shoe ever!

Most comfortable boot I’ve ever owned. I wish they came in every color!!! Truly a shoe that is comfy right out of the box! Also gives a slimming look to your foot!

So Comfortable!

I bought these a couple of weeks ago and have been wearing them everyday since they arrived. They are the most comfortable shoes/boots I’ve ever owned! And they are so cute! I love them so much I tried to order the two other colors but they are out of stock for most sizes. Grab them from other outlets if you can. Hope Sorel restocks these beauties. They are super comfortable, warm, cozy, and way cute!

Great every day casual winter boot

I purchased the light colored beige boot, and it’s such a beautiful, wear with anything colored shoe. I love the kinetic styled bottom which has very good grip, especially for snowy days. I am usually 8.5 in Sorel but I sized up to 9 and I’m so glad I did. These run a bit small, especially if you want to wear a thicker sock for the cold weather. I have narrow feet and the width is just right. They look super cute with leggings!

Love them!

I gave them both in the dark tan and light! I just got the light colored ones recently and get a compliment every time I wear them. So comfy too! I like to think of them as sneakers because they are so light but yet warm. Highly recommend, I hope they never discontinue them. I would recommend sizing up. I typically would wear a 8 but because I like to wear thick socks I sized up and think they fit great.
