These boots are AWESOME! I recently attended an open air concert with these boots and only a pair of socks in a wind chill of 5 degrees. I was perfectly confortable all day!
I would recommend this product.

These boots are snugly and chic! I bought them to keep me toasty in my new home in South Dakota! I reccomended them highly. Slick styling, great warmth and non-slip soles. Come on snow! Make my day!

These boots are awesome! I have wanted a pair for the last two years and finally I have them. They are not really good for ice but snowstorms are manageable now!

I purchased my first pair of Sorel boots last winter and I love them! They are the perfect boot for heavy snow fall. I typically wear a size 8.5 and found that with a size 8, I still have room to wear bulky socks. So if you are going to order this style, I would suggest ordering a size down. They do take sometime to wear in but they are totally worth it! I recommend Sorel to anyone looking for a great pair of boots to protect one from all sorts of elements. They are truely a great investment for anyone living in the midwest!
I would recommend this product.

Boots are very roomy, so you can wear thicker socks without discomfort. I don't know that they meet the -20 degree temp rating for warmth (literally tested over last couple of days but they still keep my feet comfortably warm.
Out of the box, there was a mar near the buckle on one of my boots, where the leather finish was peeled off. Ultimately the boots are for warmth and sloshing through snow and slush, so I didn't bother sending them back just for a small (hopefully just) aesthetic defect.
I've gotten a ton of compliments on them, and love the convenience of the zipper vs a lace-up style.
I would recommend this product.

After doing much research on many different Sorel's I was hoping these were the ones. I tried to order the correct size based on my foot size and reviews but unfortunately they ran small and would not work. Most unfortunately I was unable to find these from another on-line reseller and so threw about $20 away for nothing on shipping costs (both ways). The zipper was also difficult to manage at times. I still hope to purchase a pair of Sorel's but it certainly won't be from sorel.com

I am forever cold and live in a region of the states that requires warm boots. These are my second pair of Sorels and I am as happy with these as I am with my first pair purchased almost 20 years earlier. The only thing I found funny was the sizing. I am a true size 7 with all of my shoes. But I found that the 7's were a bit to snug and I purchased a size 8. They fit great and give me room when I where my thicker wool socks.
I would recommend this product.

These boots fit all my must haves but was disappointed when they arrived because the left boot zipper was all wavey and the right was nice and straight. They seemed true to fit...half size bigger than a regular shoe size for toe room and thicker socks if I wanted.
Disappointed but will keep looking for this brand as everyone I have seen in boots that I admired told me they were Sorel's!!! No problem returning either. Thank You, Sorel!

I purchased a boot that I figured would be just easy on easy off because of the zipper!! Not only did I get the easy on easy off, I got a truly warm boot on very cold days & a very beautiful boot I can wear outside in the snow with anything!! SO glad I bought them!!!

Every time I intend to purchase a winter/snow boot I end up getting a cute boot that is not warm & or water proof. I finally decided to purchase something this winter so that I wouldn't freeze & came across Sorel. I wanted a pair of boots with fur, but since all of my coats have various colors of fur I chose Helen of Tundra in black. They are AWESOME! They are incredibly warm, very easy to get on, not overly bulky (they are a winter boot so there is some bulk), and feel very comfortable. I have one little hot spot but I'm sure with time it will go away. I would highly recommend these boots!

I bought the Helen of Tundra II boot to wear while snowshoeing. There are pros and cons to this boot. The Pro is that it kept my feet the perfect temperature. it was a huge improvement over my usual boots. The boots are also very easy to put on and take off. The front zip feature is the main reason why I chose this style. The Con is there is a spot that presses in on the back of my ankle (mentioned in several reviews) The leather bends in the back directly above the buckle and causes the boot to press uncomfortably on my achilles tendon. I folded my thick socks over twice to cushion the "hot spot" which helped minimize the discomfort. I didn't feel the hot spot at all when I was snowshoing. Mainly because the sport requires you to walk with your heels flexed the whole time, which counteracts the flaw in the boots.
I do not recommend this product.

I bought these boots two years ago, in black, allthough I do not see them in black any longer, Im sure the sesame color will do the job keeping your feet warm & dry, in rain snow & cold... I love the way they look, and fit.. I wear a size 7, and there is still enough room for socks......I have worn them a lot the past two years and this will be my 3rd winter.. I also wear them into the spring when it rains, and start wearing them late in the fall when it starts to get cold.. they keep my feet toasty warm, even on the coldest days... this is an all around great boot for warmth & style, have had many many complements on them, and have been asked where to buy them... I would recommend them....after two years of wear going on my third year, this boot is well made, and is in the same condition they were the day I first put them on, yes a long lasting boot.. finally a product that lasts... I go hiking in the snow with them, and my feet are never cold

Bought the boots for a trip to Lake Tahoe, they were very comfortable to walk around in, I didn't experience any foot hot spots due to rubbing or product defect. I love the look....and at the slopes with the ski boots coming on and off, my Sorel's with a front zipper were very convenient to change. I really like all the styles to choose from. I only wish the website would note where the boots were made. For personal reasons. I found the size to be true. I wear a 9 1/2 to 10, purchased a 10 and they're perfect.

I read many of the reviews while searching for the perfect Sorel boot, and many of the reviews for the Helen of Tundra II were negative. They mentioned that the heel was uncomfortable but I have had no problems with mine. The second I received these boots and put them on, I knew they were perfect for me. I am on a tight budget and was between a couple different styles of Sorel boots, and live in a very snowy area. These boots are amazing in snow, incredibly comfortable and warm. They are clunky but all snow boots are, they are very stylish and versatile. I love them and would highly recommend them, they are true to size and perfect for going from the mountain to a restaurant, to work, anywhere. Thanks Sorel!

I absolutely love these boots. They are the first pair of winter boots that keep my feet dry and keep my toes warm. They are completely true to size. As people have said, they do rub a bit in the heel but it's not unmanageable. They're easy to zip, so you can tuck in your pants on really snowy, icy days. They are also super cute and I'm always happy to show them off.

At first I really liked this boot, however, there is a spot on the heel that rubs on both feet. Was bummed because it fits great otherwise and they are so easy to get into because of the zipper.

Great boots, keep my feet incredibly warm. I live in rural Minnesota and the boots still arrived just a couple of days after I ordered them. I recommend ordering a half-size down since the boots stretch a bit once you break them in. The boots have been rubbing the backs of my ankles, unfortunately, but I've learned to wear thicker socks with them to try and avoid this. Fashionable and practical boots, what more could you ask for?
