I was so excited to get a great deal on these boots by Sorel.  I've read the reviews and was nervous - but they seemed so cute in the picture that I had to try for myself.  LOVE THEM!  Okay, so if you're looking for a slenderizing boot for your foot, this isn't it - but if you're looking for a low, flat, stable boot that rivals the comfort of a slipper and keeps you toasty warm... this is it.

They're super easy to cinch down if you're going to be on serious terrain, but they don't loosen easily to get off so I leave them a little looser if I'm shopping. The good news is that you'll figure out the trick after trying to get out of them a few times.

When I first tried them on I was nervous that they were too small, but after lots of toe-checking - I realized that what I was feeling was the new-bulk of the shearling lining.  After wearing them a couple of times, I no longer have any anxiety that these are too small.  They fit true to size with a normal sock.  If you wish to wear a heavy sock - I'd suggest ordering 1/2 size up.

These are really cute and comfy.  I highly recommend them.  But honestly - if you are phobic about a wide looking boot, don't waste your time on these.  They're not "sporty" - they're "cute" and Eskimo-ish.  Also, they have a low tread pattern and won't track loads of snow inside.  Very nice for the urban environment.
