Sorel Women's Waterproof Winter Snow Boots - Warm & Comfortable for Cold Weather, Hiking, and Outdoor Activities

When I buy boots, I look at three key things: fit, noise, and versatility. This pair knocked all three out of the park.FIT—I have short, wide feet (usually around a size 6, and I opt for wides when I can). I sized up to a 7 for these and, while they’re definitely more narrow than my other shoes, they are not uncomfortably narrow at all.My husband remarked that they’re a bit longer than my other shoes, but only by half an inch or so. My feet feel secure and comfortable. They’re remarkably soft on the soles of my feet as well! We’ll see how they hold up to a day of walking, but I have high hopes.NOISE —**I’ll update this review when I’ve worn them on a rainy day** but for everyday wear, they’re remarkably quiet. As a matter of personal preference, I don’t like wearing loud, clomp-y boots. The rubber soles on this pair allow me to walk around silently, just the way I like. (Update: wonderful on rainy days too!)VERSATILITY —These are gorgeous, stylish boots. They’re also remarkably versatile, which is what I was looking for. They’ll work well with my spring-summer-fall wardrobe and I’m looking forward to seeing how they hold up in the winter as well.I’m not planning to wear these hiking (I have other boots for that job) but this pair seems like they’d transition easily from the trail to an evening on the town. I think they’ll become my go-to pair while traveling!
