These shoes are really attractive and would be great in rain and other wet weather. Unfortunately the toe box runs narrow. I wish I could order them a size up but I am already a size 12 and they simply would not fit even with thin socks on. Too bad because they look like a great boot.
I would recommend this product.

I love the look of these boots. A friend of mine has them in grey and they are super cute. I ordered the Curry and got them but I didn't like the color at all. So I sent them back which cost me $12.50 and ordered the Elk. I got the Elk and the color is much lighter than in the picture on line and most upsetting is that the stitching and seam on the inside above the ankle is sticking out in a way that rubs.
Well I'd like to return them but that will cost another 12.50 and I decided to keep them and try to duck tape over the rough part. I just want a comfortable cute pair of rain boots and I'm done with returning and re-ordering.
I do not recommend this product.

These boots are comfortable, stylish and functional. I am truly the best dressed at the barn and more importantly they also look great on the rainy weekdays when I have to walk from the parking lot to my office. It makes me wish there were more rainy, damp and cold northern California days so I can wear these boots more.
The fit was true to size and they are very well constructed.
I would recommend this product.

i love this simple short boot. super cute and lots of compliments so far - i can wear it under any pant leg or tuck in leggings or jeans no problem.
also - i am a size 10 on my left side - my right foot is a 10.5 and both of my feet are doing well. sometimes my right foot takes time to stretch the shoe out - in this case - i was good to go from the start due to the comfy interior of the boot.
I would recommend this product.

I bought these boots to keep my feet warm while working at Farmers Markets and hoped they would be that and comfortable too. I have found them both, warm and comfy while standing on my feet for 4 to 6 hours outdoors! And they look really nice too!
I did find that the sizing ran a little small, about a 1/2 size - I purchased an 8.5 when in most hiking boots, etc., I take at least a 9. They are really a great buy!
I would recommend this product.

I was forced to buy the product in the US because in Canada the price was $150 more (!!). I ordered and shipped the boots to Canada and paid the duties plus taxes. Now because the boots were defective I want to return them but will lose the monies paid for duty and taxes.
The boots are not warm and when I walk in snow the bottom strap comes off --this was with my FIRST TIME WEARING THE BOOTS. So disappointed. I am not even sure I can wear them again if that bottom strap continues to come undone. Also there is minimal interior lining so it is truly not a WINTER boot but a boot for a rainy day.

I have been wearing these for a few weeks now in N. Utah. They are great for getting around in snowy and slushy parking lots and between buildings at my job.
Fit: I have a high instep, a wider fore-foot, and slightly larger than average calves (i.e. it is very hard for me to find pull on boots that fit). I normally wear an 8.5 but ended up exchanging for a 9.0 so that I could wear thicker winter socks and for ease of getting on and off. The boot was initially a bit hard to get on and off due to my instep catching on the inside of the boot, but as the leather has stretched it is much easier. I am also able to wear a thicker sock without feeling like my toes are cramped. My foot slips a bit inside the boot but not enough to cause blisters or discomfort. I've not had any problem with the shaft being too small.
Function: I wanted something for staying surefooted and dry while walking through slushy parking lots and sidewalks and these do the job. These boots do keep my feet dry but I would not recommend them for prolonged exposure to freezing and below freezing temperatures. I noticed considerable cold in the toe area when walking outside in below-freezing temperatures. So, probably okay shoveling snow but definitely not a good choice for something like snowshoeing. The toe area does get cold when walking through a lot of snow as there is no insulation. However, they keep my feet comfortably warm once indoors and when running errands. I also feel stable on wet concrete and asphalt.
Style: A great boot for wear-to-work. They keep your feet dry but aren't so bulky as to look inappropriate at work in a semi-casual environment. I wear them with my jeans or khaki (both boot cut) legs over the boot and they dont look awkward. The way the leather comes over the boot it makes the foot look more petite than it really is. These 9.0 look closer to an 8 aesthetically (if anyone even cares). I normally wear flats exclusively so the stacked heel took a little getting used to but after two days I was fine. I bought the curry and wanted the more whiteish color. Unfortunately that white tone was just a layer of powder-wax-something that has come off with wear. The color of the actual boot is more of a tan and looks more like the Elk color.
I would recommend this product.

These are a strange and wonderful style, sort of utilitarian and WWI-y but still fashionable. The liner is much warmer than you might expect, and I'm wearing them through light snow, mud, and winter slush without trouble. If you step in too deep a puddle a little water will get through but nothing much. The leatherwork and wooden heel are beautiful touches. My new favorite pair of shoes. Someone else mentioned having a high arch and not being able to get their foot in, but I have high arches and didn't encounter that problem. I ordered half a size down and still have enough room for thick socks.
I would recommend this product.

I'm so glad I ordered these. They have more insulation than a rain boot so you can wear them in spring, fall and winter. I was afraid that only the sole was waterproof, but I wore them in the slush with zero leakage. I'm usually a 6.5 or 7 (for width). I went with the smaller size, and they are perfect.
My favorite Sorel yet! Highly recommend them!

I ordered my boots online and was very excited when they showed up. They looked every bit as cool in person. Unfortunately, I have a slightly high arch and could not even come close to getting my foot into them. I sent them back for a return because I worry that I will have the same problem with other styles. I wish they would make more boots with full length zippers or ties.
I do not recommend this product.

Wore these boots twice and the cover on the plastic heal is already starting to come off. It looks like wood but is not, it's plastic, covered.

Had to get some new winder boots and these are fitting the bill. So far my feet have stayed warm and dry, and I can wear multiple socks. Only issues is there's not quite enough arch support or padding under the ball of the foot, but I am sure there's an insert somewhere that will fix that. All in all, I am very satisfied and will be keeping them.
Thank you.

I love the gray leather section of the shoe, but the black part of the toe, looks like cheap plastic. Kind of suprirsed me for price I paid. I own a number of pair of really cute Duck boots and in the photos it looked like that is what the toe part of the shoe would look like.
But, I think it looks like cheap Walmart type of plastic.

These are my favorite boots- i wear them 4 days out of 7. The nice leather upper provides style that you can wear downtown and to work while the rain boot sole allows me to run through puddles and even go to soccer or walk the dog through the mud.
I have so many compliments on these, and even my friends have started to buy them becuase of how often I say I love them.
Get yourself a pair!

I have a little difficulty getting my foot into these (rubber bottom maybe?) but once they are on they are roomy and really comfortable! I like the waxed leather look and the stacked heel--nice, unexpected details on a really functional boot! Cute, warm enough for cool days yet not so warm that my feet sweat when I am inside.
I would recommend this product.

Using these in the morning when it's wet and chilly and my feet stay dry and warm. Because they are wide at the top you could potentially get rain in that way but I usually have an umbrella and it's not a problem...
Love these!
