The boot are quality. However, they are very heavy! They are difficult to remove, even when places are loosened. The toe area is wide and clunky, pressing both the gas and brake pedal in my car at the same time! I now have to hold my right boot at certain angles to engage only the gas or brake pedals. I wish the boots were generally more comfortable and they cannot be returned.
Never have I ever thought I would need a pair of Sorel winter boots living in the Deep South. However, life just happens, and here I am, in middle of Wisconsin experiencing negative Fahrenheit temperature. I didn't know that was possible, but it was, apparently. I got this pair right before winter storm came in Wisconsin, so I got to experience how great these are against cold/snow/wet ground.
Pros:
- Really, really warm. I went outside to go grab some food/groceries, and my feet were warm. It was funny experience because I couldn't feel my thighs but I could feel my feet/toes. - Is very waterproof. I like walking in the snow. Didn't have much chance to see snow in regular basis, so I had lots of fun with it this winter. When I came back inside, only my feet stayed dry. - Basically does its job. It's waterproof winter boots. It is waterproof and for winter weather.
Design/size:
-I usually wear size 8 for tennis shoes. I have high and wide instep, so even though I didn't plan on wearing thick socks, I got 8.5. They fit nicely. Not too tight where I need to put bandaids on my heel but not too big where I trip over my feet either. Very comfy as well. Walked miles wearing these and my feet weren't in pain. But I advise going with your normal foot size, though. Unless you have high/wide instep like me or wear THICK socks.
- They are... cute. Very cute. Got lots of compliments from my friends and my mom. Keep in mind that my mom is very direct with her opinions. When she says they are cute, they are cute.
