Not hard wearing
I bought these a year ago and I was in love, however after very little wear during autumn last year and a couple of easy walks this year, they are already falling apart. The back of the heels have almost worn through to make holes and the rubber seals have split letting in water. This is really disappointing as they were expensive/full price when I purchased them. Sadly I think Sorel are cashing in on their historic reputation for hard wearing outdoor gear, but the quality has dropped massively. I would not trust these in cold weather or to stand up to more than light wear. They are basically a fashion shoe for posing around town in occasionally. It also feels quite irresponsible from an environmental point of view to make products that end up in landfill after a couple months. I spent the money on these assuming they would be good quality and would last me years.

Awesome boots
I bought them for my Colorado trip and they are really comfortable and look chic they go with all my outfits, stayed chic and stay warm and comfy. I went half size up because I’m wearing them with thick or double socks to keep my feet warm.

Great boot
Great fit, great looking and love they are waterproof.
Cute and comfortable
This shoe is very comfortable and will be my go to this fall and winter for running errands. They’re not insulated so I went up a half a size to accommodate wool socks. They’re perfect

Painful and heavy
I’ve had Soral rain boots in the past, but so far after wearing these two times (several miles each time), I just can’t get past the pain. Sizing wise they fit perfectly, enough room in toe box and length, but something in the left boot rubs so badly that I am left limping after wearing these (thus only two uses.) I will try a pair of thicker socks and see if that helps. Honestly it’s a little weird, I’ve never had an issue like this before where one shoe was causing so much pain. I did purchase these for a trip where I’ll be in heavy rain (based on other reviews doesn’t seem like they are super waterproof) and walking a ton so at least I know now these aren’t worth the weight in my luggage.

Disappointed, didn't hold up well
These boots did not hold up well. The toe seam at the sole came unsealed letting water into the shoe. I superglued it closed. But then the black rubber toes started splitting. The laces got a lot of runs in them. Also the inner seams of the tongue were very bulky and didn't lay flat at all. I was really disappointed in the quality of this shoe. I've purchased many pairs of Sorels over the years, these were really not up to standards. Spent way too much money on such low quality.

Pros & Cons
There are pros and cons to the boots. I got them in December as a Christmas gift. I love the styling and versatility of the boot. They are also some of the most comfortable boots I’ve ever worn. Excellent for walking on concrete for long hours. As for the cons, one of the shoes developed a squeak a month ago that I can’t get rid of. I hear it while walking on every smooth surface, so that is getting to me. Also, they are not waterproof for prolonged exposure. I was pressure washing recently and my boots, socks, and feet were completely saturated. The water was sloshing inside the boot. Kind of disappointed about that, but in everyday situations like rainy weather, they keep your feet dry and warm. Super cute boot.
