Product Description

Founded in 1962 in canada, Sorel brings its functionality and heritage of expert craftsmanship to the modern world of fashion, where it is inspiring a new generation of doers, builder, and creators. AND though Sorel makes more than just boots, theres a boot in everything Sorel makes. Sorel combines felt, wool, premium leather, and flawless construction with people who aren’t afraid to get their boots dirty. To measure your foot, place your feet flat on a piece of paper and mark your longest toe and the back of your foot. It is best to do this standing and wearing socks. Measure the length straight from your longest toe to the back of your foot using a ruler or measuring tape. Use the chart to find your size

Sorel's cold weather footwear is ideal for those participating in active winter sports like snowmobiling or sledding, or for activities where maximum protection is required -- like all-season hunting or fishing, or simply going to work.

Best boots ever!
I LOVE these boots so much I purchased them in two different colors. I got the fawn from Dick’s Sporting Goods because I found them for much less elsewhere and Dick’s beat the price I found them for so I got them for $130 an awesome price. Unfortunately, the Quarry/black was sold out so I purchased them from Amazon. I was worried at first because of some of the reviews. But I believe that the ones I got from Amazon are not knock offs just have some slight imperfections. Its unfortunate how the straps/snaps have broken off of some reviewers boots I’m not sure if they were pulling them on by the straps or if they just got a defective pair. Also, the linings can be purchased from the Sorel website and can be easily replaced. I mean these boots are regularly priced at $199 and up so if you get for less from 3rd party on Amazon, you should expect some imperfections/defects but for the price on Amazon you can afford to replace liners easily. Also, when you take them off don’t kick them off with the other foot at the back heel cause you’re going to ruin them soon enough just pull them off with your hands and pull them up with the boot. I’m a size 8 and purchased an 8 and these boots fit perfectly. At first they were really hard to put on and take off but after several wears they were perfect. They keep my feet nice and warm even when I wear them without socks to walk the dog. I live in Chicago and North Dakota and they’ve stood up to the harsh cold weather and everyone loves them. I was worried about the fawn getting dirty but they’re waterproof and they still look awesome. I’ve received all kinds of compliments. They also look good with my Canada Wear Gear. I’m very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend. I’m also coming back for a 3rd pair in camel soon but not sure if I’ll come back to Amazon as I don’t want to press my luck and end up with a defective pair that I’ll have to send back. Probably try Dick’s again where I have a return and satisfaction guaranteed. But Thanks Amazon and Sorel!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great winter boot.
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2013
Verified Purchase
I was hesitant to buy these boots after reading some reviews indicating that they are clunky, too large, not warm enough, and rip apart your ankles. I have to say that I was expecting to send these back, but was very pleasantly surprised. I love them. I typically wear between a 4.5 to 5 USA shoe size, and the 5 in these fit me nicely with a very thick pair of wool socks. They are a bit awkward to walk in at first, and I did notice some small abrasion around the ankle area, but I put in some gel arch supports, and they felt fine. I think once they are broken in, they will be even more comfortable. I also keep in mind that they are snow boots and made to be rugged and to withstand snow and harsh weather so they can't be too flimsy and soft so I was not
expecting them to feel like UGGS. I was also worried that I would not be able to drive manual in these as others have reported that their clunkiness makes them difficult to drive in; however, I did not find this to be the case (I could still easily switch between and feel the clutch, gas and break pedal just fine). For me, these boots are cute, functional, toasty warm, and most importantly, waterproof (which is why they are a bit clunky at the bottom b/c they are partially rubber). These will be a life saver for me when the snow accumulates, and I have to trek through it to get to my car. I am happy I snagged them at near 1/2 price. They are a keeper, and I hope to get much use out of them during the crazy Midwest winters. They do what they were made to do: keep your feet dry and warm.

UPDATE 1/2/14: Wore my boots out in a foot of snow to shovel and dig out my car, as well as trek around town for a few hours in very cold, blizzard-like conditions, and my feet not only stayed warm, but they were also dry! I couldn't be happier with these boots and hope to get many, many years of use out of them. Well worth the investment!

5.0 out of 5 stars 5-8US pretty easily. I decided to get these after my ...
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2015
Verified Purchase
I'm originally from the Philippines but I've lived in the Windy City of Chicago for 5 years, and can usually fit in a 7.5-8US pretty easily. I decided to get these after my NorthFace boots gave out quickly and was in need of something to protect me from the harsh Chicago winters I dread so much.

I was told these shoes ran small and were a bit uncomfortable at first so I decided to go with the larger end of my shoe fittings - a size 8. The shoes arrived rather quickly in a huge Sorel box within an Amazon box, and I immediately took them out of the packaging. The fur on top was very soft although I knew it would become matted over time. The shaft of the shoe was a soft suede-like material, waterproof and a stunning dark black. The base of course was rubber, and the boot itself had some weight to it so I knew the construction was solid and the base was reinforced with lots and lots of rubber and insulation. The inside of the boot is soft and thick as well, but not fuzzy.

After putting the shoe on without socks, it did feel really big, as though I had put on an 8.5, but after putting on a pair of wool socks, it fit more like an 8, but still with some wiggle room enough for me to maybe double up on socks. If you're looking for your TUNDRA boot, this is it! Socks fit nicely, it's got some bounce to its step, and it's attractive. The heel dug in a bit for the first few days but not bad at all. There isn't any arch support although the sole is very soft, so if you need that, it's another buy.

On older boots I've also noticed that the shaft seems to droop a bit from wear and the boot itself gets softer and more pliable. That being said, the older boots I've seen are still functional, still loved, and apparently still effective after a long time. Great investment!

Really happy with these boots - they are really warm and comfortable. I have yet to wear them out on a dog walk, so will update my review once I have tried them in wet weather as to how waterproof they are, but the shoe part seems to be waterproof enough.
I feel like the laces should come up further - the top fluff part feels a bit open, but not a big deal.
I would also warn that the colours are not exactly as shown in pics!! The pictures show a white a red rubber seal around the shoe sole bit in reality it is black and grey (see my photos), and the boots do not have the pull tags at the side of the boots as shown in sellers pics - there is one pull tag at the back of the boot. This really doesn’t bother me, as I had preferred this colour scheme anyway (seen on a different seller’s site and preferred them but bought these ones as they were cheaper! So it was a pleasant surprise when these slightly different coloured ones arrived, but may not be for you if you really want the boots shown in the seller’s pics!)

Its a really warm shoe, it can be a bit difficult to take off. Once, you put it on at the start of the day, it doesn't come off till the end. Such a hassle, besides that the shoe was brilliant quality.

I love the look of these boots. I love how warm and comfy my feet were in them - I sized up and they were a lovely fit. BUT they were so uncomfortable on the back of my calves, however I fastened them, I could see that I wouldn't be able to wear them for long at all, which defeated the object entirely. So very sadly I sent them back.
Beware return postage is not covered and it cost me £13, but the refund was processed quite quickly.

These are awesome and I cannot wait to wear them in the rain and snow. Much better than wellies as the soles have grip. I've not actually worn them yet but they are warm and look to be waterproof and they look fab on too. Love them!
