Disappointed

I’ve ordered several styles, I do not have a wide foot but these boots are narrow in the toe box. Not the old SOREL I used to know. They all went back.

very comfy and warm!

Right out of the box there are extremely comfy and warm for a long chilly weekend with lots of walking and hiking. Fur lining is only at the top of the boot so they are not too hot. Laces stayed tied too :). Fit well and as expected for my standard size.

Saved My Feet in Rainy Scotland!

Wore these boots all over Scotland in December, with rain nearly every day. My feet stayed warm, dry, and comfortable the entire trip. Absolutely worth it!

Great looking winter boot.

Accurate sizing, if wanting to wear heavy socks size up 1/2 size. Comfy, great color and warm in 40 degree weather. I think they will be fine in colder weather as well.

Struggling With Sizing

First, I ordered both the Black and Tawney Brown in size 8 and they are a bit big. So, I ordered both colors in 7.5, and they are a bit tight, and my toes have little room at the front of the shoe. I am a solid 8 in UGG boots, but they have fur inside, these do not. I am returning the 7.5's and will try purchasing an insole. I will be wearing a thicker sock as well. Need them for a trip to Asia in November.
