Emelie III Waterproof Chelsea Boot (Women)

I absolutely love the amazing combo of style, look, and functionality of these! They are tough and super durable! Waterproof is a huge plus as sloppy, unpredictable fall weather approaches! Taking one star off because the fit is very snug. At first I didnt think i would get my foot in them, but being brand new, they were stiff and I have been breaking them in. These do need some breaking in, but now they are fabulous! These are also shockingly LOUD on any smooth floor!! Like people all up and down the hall stopping and staring at you loud!! I need to walk them on macadam or cement for a while to tone that down.

I normally wear size 6.5 and wanted to wear thick socks with these shoes, so I bought a size 7. They are narrow even with regular socks, especially around that horizontal seam in the front of the shoe. I don't know if I just need to break them in, but I have worn them more than a few times (with thick socks), and they still feel tight. I do like that the insoles can be removed, which is part of the reason why I bought them. I would return them if I could. I would consider a full size up.

Liked the style. The length is longer than other sorel boots. Width is narrower than usual. The most disappointing part is the ugly brown. It’s not tan as described. More of a muddy brown as if your shoes are constantly dirty. Can’t return because it’s a final sale. So money loss without a choice.
