I purchased these through amazon as the actual Sorrel site requires you to pay for shipping if you need to return the shoes. These were going to be my first pair of Sorrels so I wasn't sure about sizing as there are mixed reviews. I were a women's size 8, I was lucky enough to find out that you can buy kids sizes if you go down two sizes from your women's size. These are super comfortable, extremely warm, very waterproof. They keep my warm and dry when playing out in the snow with my son. I do wear them sometimes when I am out running errands but, and this is the only downside; these boots are a bit heavy and bulky. I wouldn't want to wear them all day. These boots have an insert that you can take out and put in the dryer which was nice after playing outside all afternoon.
