Totally thought the boot looked awesome, 'til I took my size 11 boot out of the box and put it on. Not a flattering boot for those of us with big feet. Just a little too masculine that large. Oh well, am returning them but thanks to Zappos I will continue my search!

This is it! The boot. I live in Wisconsin where the air gets cold and we get a lot of snow for many months. I've been looking for a cute boot that's also cozy. This is fab! I need something to wear for daily walks with my dog in sub-zero temps and for shoveling for a few hours in 20-30 Fahrenheit temperatures. Perfect. It's so warm. I'm not a fan of wearing bulky socks, and it's good to have a "glove" fit that's not too tight. I usually am a 9-9.5 but have wide feet so I originally chose a 10 and it was an inch too big. The 9's fit perfect, and for my wide feet they are not too tight. I can wear one pair of thick socks, or just a Smart Wool sock and it's great in terms of fit either way. My calves are skinny (I'm 5'6" and 130 lbs.) and so the shaft of the boot is a bit loose but not to where it doesn't look good. I tried the North Face Jozie boot but it is just not warm enough to cut it. That boot would be good for walking on sidewalks on a night out where you're not really in the cold for long. Thank you!

Love these boots! Finally the first pair of tall boots that fit over my calf muscle when wearing leggings or jeans! I love how comfy and durable they are! Dress them up or down! I wear them 24/7! My husband thinks I am silly because every time I wear them I am in the best mood!

These boots are cute, comfy warm and dry! They are a little big, I wear a size 10 and I did step on someone's foot on the train the first day I wore them. Oops! But aside from that I adore them and they get lots of compliments!

I tried other Sorel styles but these are my favorite. I love the tall shaft and the gaiter look. I've worn them during the only snow storm we've had this winter and they are incredibly warm and comfortable. I usually wear a 7.5 or an 8 and I initially ordered an 8 but it made my feet look unnaturally gigantic. The 7 fits great and looks much better. Zappos service is awesome as ever.

I love these boots! I have very small calves which makes buying boots very hard because I look like a stick tree in a flower pot. These boots fit my calves but my daughter who has larger calves than me also looked great in these boots. Great purchase on my part!

I love these boots. They are very cute, warm, comfortable, waterproof, and nice and tall to keep the deep snow off your legs. Normally I'm a cheapskate, but I splurged on these boots and they were worth every penny. They are so sturdy and well-made that I look forward to wearing them for years to come. Other reviewers said the boots feel a bit loose around the ankle. I agree, but it's nice because you can wear the boots over thick socks if you want. I have also been able to tighten up the ankle by tightening the lower laces.

They fit perfectly, and look stylish...so far have only worn them around the house, can't wait to get out in the winter weather. There is no better boot than a Sorel in a NY winter!

I have a normal width foot and these boots are surprisingly too narrow. I normally wear a 9.5, so I ordered a 10. There is plenty of space in the toe area (a full inch) but too narrow in width and the sides of the boot press into my foot. This type of material will not stretch. I kept a pair of boots that were a bit snug width-wise once and I regretted it because they never stretched and I ended up calling it a loss and could not wear the boots anymore. The Cate The Great boots look very wide from the outside, but they are not. I also want to note that the photos online must be for a smaller boot. These do not look so cute in size 10 and my feet looked massive, like I was going on an Arctic expedition or something.

One of the two best purchases I have made on Zappos. I usually cheap out a bit with winter boots as I go more for style but, having a house in the mountains of Colorado now, I needed to bite the bullet. These shoes are great. I have been playing in a foot of snow every weekend and my feet are now the only parts of my body that stay warm and dry. I had to write a review to help others; they are very cute as well!
