Fell apart quickly - defective?
I bought these boots in late November for the upcoming winter. By the end of December the heel had began to disintegrate, the outer “wood grain” covering and the portion that is in contact with the cement. Much of it rubbed off quickly, worsening the boots traction. I should have returned them but living far from an REI and not being able to afford to walk around in regular shoes in frigid winter conditions made returning these difficult. I expected better from Sorel, as I’ve loved many of their products in the past. Bummer!

Wish I did not size up
I absolutely love these shoes both in quality and aesthetics. While the oatmeal, collegiate navy absolutely caught my attention when I first saw them, I thought perhaps it would be more practical to get them in black. Luckily, the boots were not available in my size in black, and I ordered the boots in oatmeal. No regrets on the color! The weather is really wet right now in Chicago and I have had no issues doing errands or walking the dogs in these shoes. My feet are comfy and dry and the shoes have maintained their lovely oatmeal color even after walking through murky puddles.
My only regret is sizing up. I am an 8 in the Cate the Great wedge, Joan of Arctic wedge, Emelie Conquest boot, and Major Carly boot. However, reading the reviews I decided to order an 8.5. When I first got them, I thought I made the right call, but having had them now for a few weeks and have broken them in I think it would have been better to get an 8. They have started to fold in different areas when I wear them. Also, I am starting to have to wear them with thicker socks; whereas, in the beginning, they were extremely snug with thick socks. I still love them and hope to order them again, but this time in an 8 (knowing they will be really snug in the beginning).
**I don't think that this necessarily means that you will not have to size up, but perhaps if you are someone like me that is consistently the same size, consider staying true to that size, keeping in mind that they will be snug in the beginning.**

Runs smaller than normal for Sorel
Very comfortable quality boot that keeps you warm. I typically go up a half size in Sorel boots but in these I have to return and go up a whole size.

Style, Comfort but lacking craftsmanship
Started wearing boots in December 2019 and worn 95% of the time in the city in Iowa. Unfortunately, the faux 'wood/leather' that wraps the heel started to peel. When pulling the boots on one morning the pull tab ripped off. Finally, as of March 2019 the glue adhering the heel to the boot is coming undone. Four months in and the boots haven't even survived one winter..
Boots are comfortable, warm and stylish but the severe lack of craftsmanship will make us look elsewhere.

I love these boots....actually, I love all of my Sorel shoes. They do run slightly small. I typically wear a size 8 in Sorel wedges but I found these a little small and had to return for an 8.5. Every time I wear them, I get multiple compliments. They are warm, waterproof and fashionable.

Love these boots
These boots do run small. I usually wear a 6.5 and I had to return the size 7 for a 7.5 but I am so glad that I did. The boots are very comfortable to wear all day and are keeping my feet warm and dry with all the snow and ice we have had this winter. I would definitely recommend these boots. I get compliments on them every time I wear them.

Love these boots!!!
After reading the other reviews regarding sizing, I decided to order up a half size (I’m usually a 9, sometimes 9.5 so I ordered a 9.5) and I’m glad I did. These fit perfectly with thick socks, and they are comfy, stylish and warm. Love them!!

My perfect winter shoe
It has been hard to find a good quality winter shoe for my tiny feet (women size 4). I live in Denver, Colorado I need a pair of winter waterproof and good for icy road shoe. I read a lot of review of SOREL shoe and decided to purchase a size 5. It nofitted perfectly for my tiny feet. This is my life saver shoe. Good quality and stylist. Planning to buy two other more SOREL.

Love these boots!
I wear these boots very frequently and they're great in snow! They're very comfortable however I would for sure size up. I am pretty universally a 7, but for these boots I ordered a 7.5 which fits perfectly. My only complaint is that the area around the heel arrived with a small piece mission, otherwise, they're great boots!

These boots are adorable! Super comfortable and warm. Have solid heel, feel well-made! Definitely worth the purchase! All Sorels run small on me. I'm normally a 7 1/2 however for Sorels, I order an 8 so I can fit comfy socks!

Slimpack 11 lace boot
I absolutely love my new boots - I love how they aren’t heavy like some of the other Sorel style that I have purchased- I did read the reviews and other people said to size up while size - i only sized up a half size and had to send them back and order the next 1/2 size - I usually wear a 10 and had to order the 11, and I still could have ordered an 11 1/2 - so I won’t wear thick socks with them- bu I love them, they are super comfy and stylish- I’m 49 years old and I had a lady in her 60’s compliment me on them just yesterday- very happy with my purchase

My new go-to boot for nasty weather. This boot does run a bit small, I can see what other reviewers are talking about however it fits my feet fine. My regular shoe size (12) works. Keeps my feet dry and warm.

Great all purpose boot
I've been looking for a boot that is stylish but also one that could go for light hikes in. The heel is a little high for walking for that long (I'm also a heel-walker), but the boots are nice and warm. I always have to get a larger size in Sorel shoes, but these fit really cozy.

Cute but not warm!
Very disappointed in these boots purchased at Tradehome. Was told they would be very warm by the salesperson. Within literally minutes of wearing them, you can feel cold sleep through soles. Was shoveling average size driveway in 25 degree weather and toes were uncomfortably cold when done. They are cute but not meant for wearing any longer than 15 minutes outside. Very disappointed.

Durable, stylish comfortable boot!
I purchased this boot because i wanted a waterproof boot that i could wear all day during the rainy season and feel like i have the support i need to work and play in them. Regular rain boots i usually end up changing out my shoes once i get indoors, not with these. The first day i wore them, i kept them on even at work and i stand long hours. I am a hairstylist so i need to wear footwear with support but also it needs to be cute and stylish. It took no time breaking them in and each day they seem to get more comfortable. I am so happy with my new Slimpack II lace boots, I highly recommend them!

So cute and comfy!
I recently had to turn in my old Sorel boots and I was looking for a new pair. I received these in the gray as a holiday gift, purchased from REI. I instantly loved them, but in typical Sorel fashion, they run small. I typically wear an 8.5 but I had get a 9. Unfortunately, the liner on the inside is too small for the right boot. I am sure this is not the norm. So, these will be going back, but I hope to just exchange.

Fall apart quickly
I LOVED these boots until they broke my heart. In less than 10 wears the heels have started to peel apart. I haven’t put them through much, they’ve only been out on a wet street once or twice. They’re insanely comfy and warm but the price isn’t worth the 2 weeks of wear that you’ll get out of them.

Perfect for work
I work in retail and it’s hard to find boots that have good traction since I live in New England and am going in and outside all day. These boots are great! I don’t ever worry about falling anymore and I’m able to wear these the whole 9 hours that I’m on my feet without getting blisters or pain in my feet at the end of the day. So happy with this purchase and will definitely buy again!

Love these boots!
First of all, I ordered these boots yesterday afternoon and received them today (I did not select overnight shipping). Way to go REI! You always have excellent customer service!
Now, I must be the only person on the planet who actually wears my true size in Sorel footwear. I wear a 9 and do not have narrow feet. These boots do feel a bit snug but that is because they have a soft liner in them that does not run flush with the exterior of the boot. It is designed to hug your foot more like a sock in order to create a pocket of heat between you and the elements. That’s how they’re able to keep your feet so warm. When I push my finger down on the exterior toe of the boot, I still have a good thumb-width or so of toe room. Once you get used to the snug sock-like fit, you’ll absolutely fall in love with these boots! They’re comfortable, cozy and adorable. I purchased the burro/cattail color and they’re a great neutral boot. I prefer them to the lighter tan leather option that’s also available.

Great boits
Love the style of the boots. However the sizing is way off. Don’t like that I have had to order 3 sizes to find a pair to fit. I’m usually an 8.5 so I ordered that size first. They were way too small. Ordered a size 9 and the left was too snug. Kept those and ordered size 9.5. Those arrived today and are significially bigger. Trying to decide which size to keep.

Incredibly comfortable
I have tried various Sorels and typically find them to be gaping on the ankle area. These are the perfect solution to that problem - a nice, slim fit around the ankle and a narrow foot bed. They feel adequately lined and toasty warm without the awkward (for me, anyway) bulk of the Joan models. I was concerned about the heel, but the comfort level is amazing - they don't feel at all like a heeled boot. I am happy happy happy!

Good quality, super cute! Too small!
These boots run very small! The actual boot fits well but the inner liner is too snug and is uncomfortable throughout the day. I’m usually a 9 or 9.5. I got the 9.5 for Christmas and had to return them for a 10. They arrived still too small due to the liner and I have to return these for a 10.5. I have never ever worn a 10.5 in any brand of shoe even if they run small. Something went wrong in manufacturing these. If you are unsure on what size to order I would suggest a full size up instead of half. Some people made a half size work but a full size up will make it so you can wear thick winter socks! I hope the10.5 works!

unexpectedly comfortable!
I went into REI with a totally different purchase in mind, but when I saw these, I had to try them on to see why they were so popular; and now I see why. They are SO COMFORTABLE - with thin and thick socks. I went in the store with the intention of purchasing a reliable light snow, light rain, all-around cold weather boot and I ended up in love with these instead of what I was originally looking for. I do suggest going a half size to a full size up depending on what kind of socks you plan on wearing with them because they do run true to size, but if your intention is to wear them in the colder climates, you're going to want a thicker sock to fit comfortably.

Meh
I bought these thinking they would be a good replacement for my UGGS. But theyre not. The rubber on the heel is deteriorating after 2 months of consistent use. Definitely a waste of money even though winter barely started. I was hoping these would last a few years.
I emailed Sorel about this since it seems to be a recurring issue seen in other reviews. I wasnt even acknowledged.

Keeps my feet clean and cozy
I bought these boots after moving to a city with wetter winters than I'm used to; I needed something that would be effective for walking through slush and wet snow, as well as keeping my feet warm. These boots have proven to do just the trick. I haven't had soggy feet once this winter, and while I'm still working on breaking them in, they're very cozy. I love them!

New Favorite Boots
These boots are fantastic. I’ve worn them almost every day since I’ve gotten them. They run slightly small, so I recommend a half size larger than your regular boot size or a full size larger than your running shoe size. They are extremely comfortable and warm, and hardly took any time to break in. The only concern is that the heal is already starting to wear down, but I absolutely love these shoes and will be buying another pair if/when they wear out.

I bought them as a gift and she loves them, keeps feet dry and warm. If you are wearing them outside for an extended amount of time will need to add thicker socks because of the amount of insulation.

Holy Grail
These boots are my end all, be all, Holy Grail of boots. They are stylish and practical enough for me to wear every day, they look good with jeans or winter leggings. One thing I really love about these boots are or how secure they feel on my foot. The back of the blue cups my heal perfectly, I never feel like my boo is going to slip off my foot even if I don’t tie them and my toes still have plenty of room. I really like the little heel and find that I don’t even notice that it is a heeled boots when I’m walking around in them because they are so comfortable. These are my first pair of Sorel boots and I am officially a convert and will not be going back to my old brand of boots that I have worn for the past 10 years.

These are my first pair of Sorels, so I read a lot of reviews on this shoe. I'm originally a 7.5 - 8 and from what everyone said the shoe runs small.. So I ordered a 8.5. Really glad i did! I can wear thick and thin socks and still have room to move my toes. They're super warm,I have no other complaints so far... I've only had them for 2 months so I hope they keep up with the winter!

Love these boots
Originally ordered a full size up based off of previous reviews of this boot running small. I’m a true size 10 and was worried the 10.5 wouldn’t be big enough. The 11 was too big for me- my heels were slipping out and I’m sure this boot is supposed to fit a bit more snug. Customer service was wonderful in helping me return and reorder a size 10.5 which fit better for me- still enough room even with thick socks. I like them so much I’m even thinking about ordering another color!

heel fell apart in less than one week
As previous reviews mentioned, these boots run a full size small. So, If you are a true size 10, I would recommend ordering a size 11. But, to be perfectly honest.. I just don't think you should order these boots at all. I had my boots for less than one week and the heels started to crack and peel away. I called Sorel's customer service, and everything was such a pain. I ended up re-ordering this boot, and being sent the wrong size 2x, and ultimately just cut my losses. Attached are photos illustrating the poor quality.

Runs small, cute shoe!
I am usually always a 6.5 but when I got these the 6.5 barely fit with my skinniest socks. I didn't see any reviews that matched this so I decided to return my order and get the 7s. I wore them for the first time this weekend in some 35 degree rainy weather and they were great. my feet stayed perfectly dry, and looked cute doing so. They are tricky to get on at first, and do not try to use the pull tab on the back of the shoe because I already ripped mine.

Great winter boot
I have the Joan of Arctic boots but needed something less bulky and fuzzy. These are perfect for a shortie like me. I tried them on in a store in a different color because other reviewers made me concerned about the size. A half size up was perfect for me. Haven’t tested them out in anything but rain yet, but I’m liking them so far. I got the black pair and will likely swap out the red laces for black.

It’s cute and durable with warm fleece in the lining of the boot. The quality is good and sturdy. I will recommend the brand sorel for anyone oooking for a fashionable, sturdy, warm boot.

Perfect Winter Boot with a cute heel
This is the perfect boot for someone who wants comfort, warmth and cute all in one. The small heel gives it a more feminine touch all while giving u the warmth needed for cold days. The shoestrings are the perfect added flair. I normally wear a 7.5-8 and I ordered an 8.5 and it fits perfectly. This is the first pair of Sorel boots I have owned and I am a customer for life. Price is well worth it.

I bought these boots for Nebraska winters and I must say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE these boots! They’re so cozy on the inside and go with almost everything.
