"I ordered my usual size 9 and it was too big. Exchanged it for Cate the Great (also by Sorel) in size 8 and it's perfect. The shoes are very cute with the fur, especially if you prefer suede to leather. I had Shale and it's same color as pictured, dark purple but the suede is a bit stiff. You can read my review on Cate the Great for comparison on style and size."
"This boot is perfect for a stylish look, weather, and the price. I bought mine about 2 months ago and I cant seem to get enough of them! I always get tons of complements every time I wear them. They are literally my favorite boots right now!"
I have been longing to wear them, but we've had a pretty mild winter so far this year in Philadelphia. I wore them a few times around my apartment and I knew they would be the perfect winter boot. Finally, I broke them out the other day when the weather dropped below 32 degrees, and they were just amazing! I had three people come up to me and ask where I got my boots from!
I ordered the taffy in a size 9, and typically I wear in 8.5. They fit perfectly!"
"These snow boots are very nice and warm. I'm from NE but moving from MD to CO (Husband is Military) and I needed something that was going to keep my feet warm and dry and these do just that. My shoes size is a 9 1/2 but a friend suggested I get the 10s and they fit as if they were 9 1/2's always go with one size bigger because you never know how it's going to fit with your socks. Very happy with this purchase. :)"
"Really cute and practical, high-quality boot. I usually wear 6.5 so I ordered the 7 but had to return because it was too big. The 6 is snug. These boots will last forever and once they're worn in more they will be extremely comfortable."
"These boots are so nice and warm for the winter time and are very comfortable. They are a little heavy but manageable. I have seen all of the colors in person and they are all great so you can't go wrong with any of them. I ordered a size 9 in the husk color and fit perfectly when i wasn't walking, but once i started to walk my toe hit the front so i had to return them for the next size up. I'm so glad i did because now they are easy to walk in and i can fit a thick pair of socks for extra warmth. Also, its kind of hard to drive in them. Besides that, they are a great buy and would recommend anyone thinking of buying them to do it!"
